Great book on body laguage and flirting

A picture is worth a thousand words and this book is full of picture illustrations. It's great. Don't get me wrong, it is also well written with lots of explanation of how, why, and what gestures tend to mean. I started applying some of what Tracey explains in the book to clean up my own body language. I started being more aware of how I was presenting myself in public and taking corrective action on some really bad habits. The results... A male friend of mine mentioned "There's something different about you, I can't put my finger on it... did you get a haircut". Two female friends were a little more specific "You seem a lot happier and friendlier lately. New lady in your life?" This has been in the span of two weeks. I bought this book in conjunction with Superflirt and I have to say they are both very helpful. Some people are very good at naturally picking up and interpreting body langue. Everyone picks up on it at a subconscious level. But there are the poor slobs like myself who have to have it pointed out... this book is great for that.

One of the most informative and fun to read books on dating and body language

This book is unique in that it is like a self help book that doesn't read like a dry manual. It is packed with greatly descriptive photos, poses and clear cut observations. It is fun and witty and is filled with hip, modern, real life looking people. It is easy to picture yourself in the various situations depicted. I wish Tracey Cox was a personal friend who could eavesdrop on my dates! I can't wait to read more of her books.

Superdate

I must say, the woman has skills! I saw the British TV show (featuring Tracy) and decided to check her works out. I notice a LOT of things she mentions in superdate and it was really refreshing try out the techniques on people. More importantly, I was doing bad posing too, and that had to be worked out. The illustration was great in this book too, so this is definitely a book I've already recommended to many, and would continue to recommend to anyone needing help in this dating world. Many women don't know how to flirt, today, so they just show some skin or get overly sexy. So in the absense of females with real flirt skills, the book was a HUGE help. Now, on to the next book of hers superflirt!

Great guide to body language in dating

The name of the book is somewhat misleading: it should be called "Body Language 101" or "Body Language Literacy Course". I have read a dozen of books on body language but nothing comes even close to this one. This book's best feature is full-color photos that show body language in action. There are more photos than text, which is great. All other books have occasional drawings but they don't reflect the magnitude of people's poses and facial expressions; here everything is as simple as 1-2-3. Now I can just glance across the room and see in an instant how the people around me feel and what they are up to. Incredibly powerful. Moreover, I can pick on my own bad body language and it's easy to change it to something I'd like to communicate. It will work not only for dating situations but in any situation where you communicate with people (including posting photos in personals or applying for a job). If you want to be "body language literate" in an instant, get this book - you'll be glad you did!
