Overview
From international bestselling author and retired FBI special agent Joe Navarro—a guide to reading other people’s body language and using your own to build and maintain lasting connections in an increasingly lonely and isolated world.
As an FBI special agent focused on counterintelligence and behavioral assessment, Joe Navarro’s ability to connect with people was never optional—it was essential. Victims needed to feel safe enough to open up, and suspects needed to trust him enough to tell the truth. With no time to slowly build rapport, Navarro mastered nonverbal communication: the language beneath words. The slightest gesture, a subtle shift in posture, and even fleeting eye contact became tools for creating trust and uncovering the truth.
Connecting with others in our modern era can feel similarly daunting. In a world dominated by screens, remote work, and algorithm-driven dating, genuine human connection feels harder to come by than ever. Nevertheless, the need to bond, to belong, and to be understood remains as urgent as ever.
In Connecting, Navarro distills decades of field experience and cutting-edge science into practical strategies anyone can use. This book offers clear, actionable advice for how to:
- Make a lasting first impression in interviews, meetings, and on dates
- Earn trust quickly and, most importantly, authentically
- Utilize proven techniques that few have mastered
- Recognize and defuse conflict before it escalates
- Strengthen personal and professional bonds that will endure
- Change the way you connect with others for a happier and longer life
Backed by research and enriched with real-life stories, Connecting is more than a book on body language—it’s a road map to stronger, healthier, and more meaningful relationships. Trusted by millions of readers worldwide, Joe Navarro delivers the ultimate guide to thriving in a world where true connection has never been more valuable.
