The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Everything’s a scare! Everything’s sensational! People are going to die from ______! Watch out for _____! Every story needs an exclamation mark (!) – whether real or imagined. Don’t you get tired of the Chicken Little’s in the media?

We need to honestly talk based on reality.

Book Review: “What Every Body is Saying”
“What Every Body is Saying”
An Ex-FBI Agent’s Guide to Speed-Reading People
By Joe Navarro
Rating: 
As someone who teaches and coaches others in the subtleties of non-verbal communication, it was very interesting to me to hear how these same nuances are used and interpreted by the law enforcement community.
