Disappointed

"My interest is for interviewing and interrogating crime related persons. I know reading body language is a good tool, but this DVD is not about body language. I place it in a category with stereotyping people based on physical atributes, something the courts frown on. It did not provide anything useful."

Not what i expected

"when amazon recomended this book to be coupled with a body language book i imagined the two items to compliment each other. In actuallity this dvd is not about reading the emotions or reactions based on facial expressions."

Not How to read facial expressions!

"This has nothing to do with reading facial expressions. I bought it for a class I teach on interpersonal skills thinking it would be about how to read facial expressions. Its not: The woman says things like: If a person has a wide forehead their personality is like xyz. If a person has a wide chin they act like this. I am amazed that amazon even sells stuff like this- This video has NOTHING to do with body language/ facial expressions. The statements are no more scientific than saying that if a person has brown hair they are smart, if they have blonde hair they like ice cream....."

There was no option for less than 1 star...

"For the gentlemen looking for interview and interrogation, try Wicklander associates or look into Paul Eckman resources. I've only formally studied the subject matter for 15 years, but it took less than 15 minutes to figure this was a fraud.



I'm sorry to say I will not put in enough time to determine the root cause of the bunk, or for her benefit, poppycock and balderdash.



Tying experience with a facial attribute is impossible. This is neither scientific nor valuable in any way.



It's possible she's stupid enough to believe this. It's possible that it's just a send me money DVD. It's possible she's mentally infirm, as that is the way she appears at times.



Whatever the case, after watching this I only feel like I know less than I did before. Watching this will only destroy valuable brain cells that you may need later. I've only met one person I couldn't read in the last 5 years. Now, I'm afraid I won't be able to read any."
