Do you know any other good books about Mentalism/Body Language or Profling? I just find the art of 'reading' people very interesting and hope to find some suggestions here. I would also recommend everyone Navarros book - even if you don't want to use the stuff in there it is an interesting read.   | ||

 People are different and different criteria work to generally provoke them to behave in a certain way. Books might work for the area that person lives or the geographical region, but if you take that knowledge for example and try to read person from the tundra where there is no TV, PC and modern shit - you will fail. And people change their reactions so they can survive. Don`t waste your time trying to learn something that is not useful other than to make you look cool among your friends. | ||

Yes of course it's an extensive science that would require alot of work and adaptation to be able, but who cares? Isn't that what makes some things so interesting, the variety the mystery and the challenge? I've always found this stuff equally interesting as well, besides the tv show the mentalist is pretty awesome | ||

He did research in the areas of new guinea that had no contact to the outside world, in the 70s, and found that people naturally make the same expressions when experiencing similar emotions, even when completely removed from "modern culture" or however you want to look at it. Facial expression when experiencing certain emotions is universal. | ||
