The Power of Body Language  2008-11-24
What a great tool for everyday situations, whether they be in a social or corporate setting...
For women and the unobservant only  2008-11-02
I had to look at some of the other people's reviews of this book to see if I was totally alone on this once I finished reading this book. I was disappointed in the book. It wasn't very in depth and it definitely focused on how much better women are than men on every other page it seemed.
I am by far not a sensitive guy when it comes to facts but I felt it was always presented in a fashion that was condescending to men. Either that or all the research that wasn't self-serving was thrown out.
Other than that it really didn't go into a whole lot of depth. It wasn't a bad read even though I really didn't learn anything new that I didn't just know my whole adult life.
I just hope this helps her write more objective in depth material.
This is basic 2008-09-17
I'm gonna keep it simple
The premise: The power of body language, how to use body language, how to improve your body language, how to interept (sp) body language, Tonya talks a lot about different forms from facial experssions all the way to where to sit in a meeting
Pros: Tonya discusses everything from facial expressions to body language. She uses illustrations in some of her examples. She also uses examples of people she helped and how you can improve your body language
Cons: The book is very reptivie and doesn't offer any insight which an average person doesn't already know about body language. She doesn't give any special tricks besides the "reiman" report, which any person who is fairly concious of body language uses anyway. The book is tad boring at times as well
Verdict: overall this book is for someone who is completly clueless about body language who wants to improve, for an alpha male/female or someone who is concious of their body language this is just review
what a fun book! 2008-08-23

Short Sighted and Sexist... Men Beware!  2008-08-07
I purchased this book to help me in my professional business. I am a civil engineer and deal with clients on a day to day basis. I try to read at least 1 non-fiction book a month. I made it through 3/4 of the book and could not stand to read another page, I almost ripped the book in half. This book contains very sexist overtones, and at times is very insulting and degrading toward men.
I found it very difficult to read chapter after chapter about how superior women are to men. Granted, women do indeed have a sixth sense about people. I always include my wife in a critical interview to get her take on the person about to get hired. This book goes beyond making simple comparisons between men and women to out right stating women are superior, period. No credit what so ever is given to men in this sexist, demeaning book.
If you are a proud hardworking man with half a backbone, leave this book on the shelf. Radical feminist will love it, and no doubt Mrs. Rieman wrote it with them in mind.
Men, you have been warned.
