Can You Always Trust a Woman?

OK… now that got your attention.

It’s remarkable what recent science is revealing to us. Studies are now helping us understand the self, romantic love, and when NOT to trust a woman!

can you trust a woman

In the past we have learned that women and men both lie about three times every 15 minutes. In simple conversation, women’s lies tend to be more oriented toward protecting feelings of others. Men’s lies have been found to be more oriented to making themselves look better. A clear win for women in the values arena. But now…a wrench is thrown into the whole mix. We now know when women are going to be less trustworthy.

When are Women Less Trustworthy?

In new studies, scientists are discovering the neurobiological underpinnings of romantic love, trust, and even of the self. New research also shows that a specific brain area – known as the amygdala – is involved in the process of understanding the intentions of others, but in particular, when lying is involved.

Using brain imaging, researchers Helen Fisher, Arthur Aron, Lucy Brown and colleagues find that feelings of intense romantic love are associated with specific activity in dopamine-rich brain regions associated with reward and motivation. Those study participants who expressed more romantic passion on a questionnaire showed more brain activity in these regions. Those in longer relationships showed more activation in emotion-related areas as well.

And men and women tended to show some different brain responses. The researchers conclude that romantic love may be best classified as a motivation system or drive associated with a range of emotions. Further studies of intense, early stage romantic love may help to define how the brain encodes reward and memory.

In this experiment, 17 young men and women who had “just fallen madly in love” were tested with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify the brain circuitry of romantic love.

“We believe romantic love is a developed form of one of three primary brain networks that evolved to direct mammalian reproduction,” says researcher Helen Fisher, PhD, of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. “The sex drive evolved to motivate individuals to seek sex with any appropriate partner. Attraction, the mammalian precursor of romantic love, evolved to enable individuals to pursue preferred mating partners, thereby conserving courtship time and energy. The brain circuitry for male-female attachment evolved to enable individuals to remain with a mate long enough to complete species-specific parenting duties.”

In the study, participants alternately viewed a photo of a beloved and a photo of a familiar, emotionally neutral individual, interspersed with a distraction task. The researchers hypothesized that intense early stage romantic love is: (1) primarily associated with dopamine pathways in the reward system in the brain; and (2) primarily a motivation system (as opposed to an emotion) oriented around planning and pursuit of a pleasurable reward – an intimate relationship with a preferred mating partner.

“Our evidence suggests that both hypotheses are correct,” says Lucy Brown, PhD, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. “We found specific activity in regions of the right caudate nucleus and right ventral tegmental area. These brain areas are rich in dopamine and are part of the brain’s motivation and reward system. Elevated levels of central dopamine produce energy, focused attention on novel stimuli, motivation to win a reward and feelings of elation – some of the core feelings of romantic love. Activity in other regions changed also, including one that another imaging study has shown to became active when people eat chocolate.”

The researchers also found that those who scored higher on the “Passionate Love Scale,” a questionnaire administered prior to scanning, also showed more activity in the caudate. Arthur Aron, PhD, of SUNY Stony Brook, NY, says, “This result is among the first to show a direct link between responses to a survey questionnaire and a specific pattern of brain activation.”

Fisher, Aron, and Brown also found a tendency toward gender differences. Among them, most of the women in this study showed more activity in the body of the caudate, the septum, and posterior parietal cortex, regions associated with reward, emotion and attention; most of the men in this study showed more activity in visual processing areas, including one associated with sexual arousal.

Aron, Fisher and Brown have embarked on a follow-up fMRI study of men and women who have recently been rejected in love. They wish to understand the full range of brain systems associated with this primordial, powerful and universal human phenomenon.

In another study, Paul Zak, PhD, and his colleagues at Claremont Graduate University investigated trust – something that pervades nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Even so, the neurobiological mechanisms that permit human beings to trust each are not understood.

In the new research, Zak and his colleagues find that when someone observes that another person trusts them, oxytocin – a hormone that circulates in the brain and the body – rises. The stronger the signal of trust, the more oxytocin increases. In addition, the more oxytocin increases, the more trustworthy (reciprocating trust) people are.

“Interestingly, participants in this experiment were unable to articulate why they behaved they way they did, but nonetheless their brains guided them to behave in ‘socially desirable ways,’ that is, to be trustworthy,” says Zak. “This tells us that human beings are exquisitely attuned to interpreting and responding to social signals.

The findings are even more surprising because monetary transfers were used to gauge trust and trustworthiness, and the entire interaction took place by computer without any face to face communication. Signals of trust are sent by sending money that participants earned to another person in a laboratory, without knowing who that person is or what they will do. That, is, there is a real cost to signaling that you trust someone.

In the experiment, people were recruited and paid $10 for showing up. Then they took seats in a large computer lab and were matched up in pairs, but this was done completely anonymously so that no one knew (or would know) the other person in his or her pair.


One-half of the participants (decision-maker 1s) then had the opportunity to send none, some, or all of their $10 show-up fee to the other person in their pair. Whatever is sent is tripled. So, if $4 was sent, the other person would have $22 ($4 tripled, plus the $10 show-up fee the second person receives). The second decision-maker could then send some amount of this money back to decision-maker 1, but need not. This is how the researchers produced a social signal of trust: decision-maker 1’s only reason to transfer money to the other person is because he or she trusts that that person will understand why the money is being sent to them, and in turn will return some to them (be trustworthy). All subjects are told that the initial monetary transfer is tripled, and there is no deception of any kind.

After each person makes his or her decision, they were taken to another room and four tablespoons of blood were taken from an arm vein. Animal studies have shown that oxytocin, a hormone little studied in humans, facilitates social recognition and social bonding, for example, bonding of mothers to their offspring, and in some monogamous species the bonding of males and females in a family unit.

Based on the animal studies, the scientists hypothesized that what is happening in the trust experiment is that people are forming temporary social bonds with the other person in their pair. “This is just what we found. The stronger the signal of trust, the more oxytocin increases, and the more trustworthy people are. This is surprising given the sterile laboratory environment of the interaction so that the effect of oxytocin on face-to-face interactions must be quite strong,” says Zak.

He also found that women in the experiment who are ovulating were significantly less likely to be trustworthy (for the same signal of trust). This effect is caused by the physiologic interactions between progesterone and oxytocin, and it makes sense behaviorally: women who are, or are about to be, pregnant, need to be much more selective in their interpretation of social signals, and also need more resources than at other times.

Trust is an Essential Part of Daily Life

Zak’s lab is now studying brain activation patterns when people receive signals of trust, as well as in the physiologic responses to trust signals in patients who have neurological damage. Trust is an essential part of our daily lives, from walking down the street to driving to countless other daily activities, so that discovering the neurobiology of trust tells us something important about human nature: that we are so highly social that we pick up social signals of trust and act on them even when we are not consciously aware of these signals. Our brain acts as an internal compass that guides us towards the “right” thing to do.

In another imaging study, scientists at Stanford University located brain areas associated with self and self relevance. The new work helps answer questions such as why people hear their own names in the din of a cocktail party or the fog of sleep.

In the study, Wemara Lichty, PhD, and her colleagues used rapid event-related fMRI to dissociate brain activation’s related to names. Sixteen females heard five different auditory stimuli: 1) a tone; 2) a low frequency name (not self-relevant), 3) a high frequency name (not self-relevant), 4) a self-relevant name (e.g., sister or best friend), and 5) their own name. To ensure that participants were attending, they performed a simple task of pushing a button for each sound; specifically one button was pressed if a sound was the same as the preceding one, and a different button was pressed if the sound was the same. They listened to a total of 250 sounds over a period of 12 minutes.

The study was designed to answer the question:

Is there something special about our own name and the names of those we are close to; i.e., is there a hint of that relationship in brain activation’s?

The researchers identified areas special for personally relevant names compared to non-personally relevant names: The left medial prefrontal cortex, an area that has been associated with self, was active. “Interestingly, this putative self-related area was also active in a study for names of close associates. This suggests that the medial prefrontal cortex may be involved in processing a personal network related to the self,” says Lichty. Although imaging studies have not evaluated this, behavioral studies have shown that on many cognitive tasks, the performance of self and close others is often similar and quite different from that of persons not known. Also activated was the left posterior cingulate, an area involved in autobiographical memory.

The study also addressed whether there is something completely unique about a person hearing his or her name. Are there areas activated only by one’s own name and not the name of others we know?

Results showed that the right middle temporal gyrus was active. “This may suggest that the special status of one’s own name is related to altered cortical perceptual representations. Enhanced hearing of one’s own name may be associated with decreased thresholds for auditory cortical activation. However, the activation may also be related to self as separate from close others as suggested by the similarity of our area of activation with the findings of an fMRI study of activation’s related to faces of oneself and one’s partner,” Lichty says.

She notes that understanding how we differ from each other and how we are related to each other can offer insight, both into the essential aspects of our individual and communal identity. Clinically, this could be of import regarding understanding of individuals who may have weak (underdeveloped, undifferentiated) self. In addition, it may provide greater insight into relationships.

Another new study explores the brain mechanisms involved in deception. What happens when you spot deception in a human movement? The sort of thing a hitter tries to do every time a pitcher prepares to throw a ball.

Working out whether there is deception results in activation of the amygdala, a structure in the brain involved in perceiving fear and in learning about fearful or threatening stimuli. Our new finding is that the amygdala is also involved in understanding the intentions of others, in particular when lying is involved and when actions are being scrutinized.

“Our study finds a link between emotional brain systems and the complex brain network used to read intention in the movements of others,” says Richard Frackowiak, MD, of University College London. “So, emotional responses can be driven by factors other than empathy with someone else’s emotions. The emotional brain responds to an intention to deceive even when the deception involves a trivial action.”

The clinical importance of this work is for patients with amygdala damage. For example, there are abnormalities reported in the amygdalae of adults with autism. Such patients tend to be excessively trusting. This may not be to do with character judgment as such, but with failing to recognize potential social threats in a stream of observed actions or gestures.

In a scanning experiment Frackowiak and his colleagues approached this issue by getting actors to lift boxes with weights. Sometimes the experimenter lied to them about the weight in the box so their movements were likely subtly modified. Subjects were shown these films while brain activity was recorded in a scanner and were asked to rate whether the actor had been deceived on each occasion.

The researchers specifically compared activity in subjects’ brains when they judged that an actor was deceived with that when they thought all was above board in order to isolate brain regions associated with perceived deception. In future work these scientists plan to compare situations in which an actor is trying to deceive a third party with those in which the actor is trying to deceive the subjects themselves. This will indicate whether it is simply the perception of deception that is important or whether the object of that deception matters.

Many experiments have been performed using imaging to study cognitive processes such as attention, memory or action. But, Frackowiak says we do not simply base our judgments on reason.

“The amygdala can be regarded as part of our emotional core system and our results show that we are deeply affected when we think someone is trying to deceive us, over even so simple a matter as the weight of a box. The interaction between emotion and cognition is thus becoming clarified.

ATTENTION: Discover How an Expert Shares Insider Tips Giving You the Secrets to Reading and Interpreting Body Language.
“How to Read and Interpret
Body Language Like a Pro…”

Reading, decoding and interpreting body language is art and science! Every action or micro-action takes place within a context and in reaction to other actions that go on around the individual.

From: Kevin Hogan, Psy.D Persuasion, Sales & Body Language Expert

  • Do you wish there was an accurate way to know if someone is telling the truth?
  • Would you like to know whether someone likes you or not, even before they say a word?
  • Do you want to know anyone’s thoughts and feelings by reading their body language?
  • Do you want to subsconsciously influence anyone… without even saying a single word?

If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, then this could be the most crucial message you’ll ever read in your life.

Here’s why…

In just a few minutes from now, you could have the unique ability to easily read and interpret body language cues of anyone.

But that’s not all…

Since nonverbal communication is between 60 to 75% of the impact of a message, you could use the power of body language to become tremendously successful… in your career, business, relationships, love life, and anything else that involves interacting or communicating with people.

If the art of reading body language sounds unbelievable, let me assure you that it is based on sound scientific research and studies. It has been tested and proven to work; nothing is left to chance.

In this webpage, you’ll discover some useful facts and techniques about reading body language that you can start applying immediately to your own situations. I’ll also share with you – for free – my expert body language analysis of famous politicians and celebrities, using photographs the media has asked me to analyze.

So please make sure you read every word of this letter, because the body language secrets that can catapult you to the top of the success ladder is written here. I believe you’ll find the information in this webpage very helpful and applicable to many aspects of your life.

Why It’s Critical to Know What the Body is Saying

What people say could often be very different from what they’re thinking or feeling. It’s very easy to say something untrue or insincere, so we can never rely on words alone.

Fortunately, there’s a proven way to accurately decode people’s thoughts, emotions or mood – and that’s by reading their body language. People may lie, but their body silently and unconsciously speaks the truth.

Having the right knowledge in body language allows you to uncover what your friends, co-workers, spouse, customers or anyone else, may be hiding from you. You might even understand other people’s thoughts or feelings better than they do!

Let’s face it. Even if you trust someone with your life, you’ll never have peace of mind unless you know exactly what they’re feeling or thinking inside.

And guess what?

Your own body language signals can also influence what other people may think or feel about you. If you do it right, you will be liked and trusted. But if you send the wrong signals (even if you’re unaware of it) – your business, career, relationships, and even self-esteem may suffer.

For example, if you have a habit of touching your nose, people could perceive that as a sign of deception. You might simply have that habit even if you’re telling the truth, but people can’t tell the difference. They are unconsciously interpreting your gesture as untrustworthy and judging you based on your actions.

Why go through the trouble of being misinterpreted when you can avoid it? Understanding the meaning and uses of specific body gestures will allow you to change your approach and act only in ways that will result in maximum compliance.

Just imagine how much sales you’re losing if your body language communicates mistrust or offends your clients… without you being aware of it! But if you know how to use body language, you will be able to avoid sales pitfalls and convey body signals that make your customers say “yes!”

Body language is not only applicable in sales or business. You could also miss out on that important date or job opportunity… only because your body language is unconsciously sending negative signals. You don’t want that to happen, right?

That’s why if you want to skyrocket your sales… if you want to have a successful business or career… if you want to be successful in dating, your social life or relationships… as long as you communicate and interact with people regularly, then learning body language is a key component of your daily activities.

By the way, I understand that sometimes you might be feeling down. But that doesn’t mean other people should know, especially if your present mood could ruin a lifelong career or relationship. By knowing and using the right body language, you could purposely act in ways that will be appropriate to the circumstances.

Did you know? Men and women behave and respond to body movements in different ways. So it’s crucial for you to suit your body language depending on the gender of the person you meet, or you could damage a relationship or business without even knowing it.

If you think having this ability is mind-blowing, you haven’t scratched the surface yet. When you recognize the true meaning of people’s gestures and movements (which could often be very different from what they say), your life changes in a lot of positive ways.

How Can Body Language Greatly Enhance Your Life?

Having the ability to decode body language can have astonishing effects in almost every aspect of your life. By reading body language and using the right gestures, you’ll be able to:

  • Save a lot of time by dealing only with the people you like or trust. By reading body language, you’ll quickly know the mood or personality of anyone… before they even say anything!
  • Become a human lie detector. Almost anyone tells lies at one point or another, so it’s crucial for you to detect deception. Even people very close to us like our spouse, friends, or kids can sometimes lie… whether it’s a white lie or something that could hurt us. If you never wanted to be cheated or tricked again, then reading body language is the key.
  • Find and date with someone who has the qualities you like. Know beforehand if your date is attracted to you or likes you, and then use the right body language and attraction techniques to impress and captivate them!
  • Boost your career and relationships. Now you can make your boss, co-employees, and even strangers to like you through subtle body movements. You’ll be astonished at how easy it is to get a raise or promotion if you know the art of reading and using body language.
  • Multiply your sales and sell to prospects who have the highest chances of buying from you. Detect in advance if you can negotiate a better price on a deal, and raise your chances of winning negotiations.
  • Boost your self-confidence and be in control of any situation whenever you’re interacting with people. Connect with total strangers and get people to cooperate with you… in no time flat!
  • Make a dazzling first impression, and instantly get liked or trusted on your first meeting.
  • Be a master communicator. Most of the time, words are not enough. Your communication will be much more effective and understood if you accompany it with the right body language.
  • Ace the job interview. Know how to properly express the body language of confidence and competence, and get a keen sense of how the interviewer is evaluating you.
  • Avoid the costly hassles of hiring the wrong people. If you’re the interviewer, you’d easily spot the most capable applicant for any job!
  • Read people’s minds and emotions. With this ability, you can do things which are only favorable to the situation and avoid any problems that may occur. You may even impress your friends with your mind-reading abilities!
  • Establish authority, liking, trust or respect using simple body gestures.
  • Become an outstanding public speaker. You’ll know when the audience is interested or bored, so you can adjust your speech to their present state. You could more easily persuade and inspire them if you combine your speech with the right gestures.

Are You Making These Mistakes In Body Language?

Studies indicate you have realistically closer to 4 seconds to make a good first impression on those you come in contact with. And this is used as a yardstick for all future communication by those whom you meet.

In the first four seconds, people will make judgments about you and tell themselves:

  • I will (or will not) buy from this person.
  • I will (or will not) like this person.
  • I find this person kind (or not).
  • I find this person intelligent (or not).

You can’t make a good first impression through your words alone. In fact, nonverbal communication is between 60 to 75% of the impact of a communication. But despite being the most important aspect, body language is also the most misunderstood and misinterpreted.

Every action – or even the smallest micro-action – communicates subconsciously to others, so people could like (or not like) you through your gestures… without even knowing exactly why.

You could be making the most wonderful compliments or praise to people, but it’s difficult to gain their trust or approval if your words contradict with your body language.

These body language photos will show you some of the basic and advanced techniques used to interpret body language. This girl is flirting with you. “But her arms are crossed, that’s defensive,” some might say. They are wrong. Head tilt to her left, hard time not grinning too big, while looking right at you. She likes you.

Flirting and sexual body language is something you can quickly spot in a woman’s body language – as well as a man’s – in both business and personal context.

Body language revealing the liar is easily identified in both business and personal context when you know how to properly interpret the signs. I’ll show you this later.

Whether you want to learn the body language of love, dating or closing the deal, welcome! The analysis I’m going to give you as part of this preview includes both “liking” and deception judgments. It is fairly complex to analyze human behavior in snapshots in time.

See this guy? By looking at him, that smirk should mean he’s being perceived poorly and he’s fighting for his life. But no, check out the over the shoulder look of the first girl. Women inspect over their shoulders with curiosity…until that split second where liking or not occurs. These two will connect…..BELOW…I made judgments on the relationships of the couples based solely upon these photographs and the context in which they were taken. (This is as little as you have to go on with most media. It IS a challenge.)

In this preview, my goal for you is to become aware of a few subtle cues that you are going to begin picking up from now on. Instead of telling you each little signal in a boring, clinical way, I’m going to let you have some fun and invest just a few minutes into being a body language expert with me.

If you look closely, you will learn a great deal today about the nuances of nonverbal communication.

What Can You Interpret About a Person’s Body Language From a Photograph?

Example 1 :

body language Barack Obama

Barack Obama

Barak Obama certainly is known for his striking IMAGE.

Notice the intensity on his face. The cheek bones. The strength of his jaw. The back of a soldier.

This is a POWERFUL IMAGE that can win an election IF it is backed up with a message of VISION and not policies. We’ll revisit Obama throughout the year and see if the image holds.

 

Example 2 :

reading Body Language John McCain Political Candidate

John McCain.

McCain’s face shows intelligence and compassion. He is the precise OPPOSITE of Obama.

Wide open eyes give the feel of open-ness. Obama? No. He is a leader with vision. He has his OWN plan.

McCain appears to want to know what the person he’s talking to thinks. If McCain talks about VISION he would be crushed because that is NOT his image.

His image exuded compassion, intelligence, open minded. Does America want an open minded President…or a visionary, perhaps unlike any we’ve seen?

 

Example 3: 

body language Nicky Hilton

Nicky Hilton with Brian Connolly.

Question: “Kevin, will these two last?” Answer…observe…

Notice Nicky’s body language. The knee elevated against her boyfriend’s right leg. Her left leg supporting her entire body. The expressionless smile as she poses for the other photographer.

One clue I always look for is, “Where is the cell phone.” Pocket or hand. Answer: Hand. No, this will not last.

 

Example 4 :

reading Body Language of Tom Arnold

Tom Arnold and Shelby Roos.

Tom, one of my favorite funny guys is holding his girlfriend so tightly, she is like the caged bird that must fly away.

Notice you can see the white in Tom’s fingers. Check out the facial color. Observe the closeness of his head to Shelby in contrast to where it would be if he were standing straight.

This is a classic photo sequence of “boy ecstatic to be with this girl.” Unfortunately I had to report the relationship would not last.

 

Example 5 :

flirting body language bruce springsteen

Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa

Bruce Springsteen and Patti are like yin and yang. Almost all photo’s of these two together reveals a mirror image of each other and this is no exception.

Even when they are turning their legs/feet are the same! Then notice how similar their hands are positioned and of course his and hers sun glasses.

There’s more in the program about these guys and this sequence of photos; but when two people mirror each other this perfectly, they are likely to stay together.

 

Example 6 :

reading Body Language Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson and Richard Branson.

Branson, like Tom Arnold above, holds tight. Notice his right hand and the strength with which he holds Anderson. Then notice that his face, like Tom Arnold above, has that same coloration to it. The grin indicates a very happy, “Hey guys, check it out, it’s Pam.”

And Pam rarely shows ownership of a man. Here she has her arm up and around Sir Richard’s neck and holds him too.

Why Does the Media Refer to Me as “The Nation’s Leading Body Language Expert?”

Hi, my name is Kevin Hogan. I’m a body language expert, social psychologist, and the author of 24 books, including “The Psychology of Persuasion” which has sold over a million copies worldwide.

I’m an international motivational speaker and have given specialized training to employees of numerous Fortune 500 Companies. You may have heard of Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks, Meespierson, Auntie Anne’s, Cargill, Pillsbury, Mutual of Omaha Carlson Companies, Fortis, Great Clips, the State of Minnesota, 3M, The United States Postal Service and many others.

I’ve shared my expertise about body language, persuasion and influence with all four major television networks and the nation’s largest newspapers. Other media that have asked for my help include the New York Times, the BBC, Fox Television and dozens of popular magazines including Redbook, Success!, Selling Power, Cosmopolitan, Woman’s World, Mademoiselle, First for Women, Psychologie Netherlands and Wprost.

The media has concluded that I’m the go to guy for everything related to reading the body language of a person. In fact, the New York Post asked me in 1998 if US President Bill Clinton was being truthful about whether he had a relationship with Monica Lewinsky. I found one very specific piece of body language – that no one else picked up on – indicating that he indeed have an affair. I was the first person in the nation to make that public.

I accurately predicted the 2000 and 2004 elections when everyone else in the media was wrong, because I know how people will react to a specific individual’s body language. This is why I knew Bush would win the elections both times. Not because of what he did right, but because of what Gore and Kerry unwittingly did wrong….really wrong – with their body language.

I was well aware of how American CITIZENS would respond and react to what they saw in the debates and sound bites. The body language of Gore and Kerry was offputting to the undecided voters. In both cases, I told the BBC what would happen.

In fact, I predicted the US election in 2000 would be decided by less than 50,000 votes, an almost statistical impossibility. When it came down to ONE VOTE, everyone was shocked, except me…I had made it public days before the election with Bush and Gore, and then again with Kerry and Bush.

I’ll reveal to you how to determine whether someone likes you or not. I’ll show you how to read with precision whether they are leaning towards a “yes” or a “no.” Like any skill, it simply takes a little time investment to learn.

The payoff? Enormous. Being able to control every situation you are in.

In this course, we’ll analyze over 100 candid photos of celebrity couples in different settings. From the tilt of the head to where the the feet are pointed, you’ll know exactly what they’re thinking or feeling.

Analyzing celebrity photos is the best way to learn because these people are difficult to read (They play roles that appeal to the public and are always “on”). But just like what you have already learned to see, the little cues tell quite a story – the story that the non-conscious is revealing, but the conscious mind is not.

So far, I’ve been right 46 out of 48 times in reading and interpreting the body language of Hollywood couples, as to whether they will break up or not within the next two years. No one has ever achieved that feat. Remember that these people are actually difficult to read because they “act out” to seek public approval.

In addition to the photos, you also get to watch live footage of me… teaching and demonstrating the correct body language movements in face-to-face situations with the help of Beth Bednar, former NBC affiliate anchorwoman.

I’ll show you what to REALLY look for in body language, not what all the pop psychology books talk about. I guarantee that after you finish this course, you’ll find that your body language ability has become as automatic as your instinct.

“The Body Language set can give you a leg up in sales and negotiating…”

“Kevin I just wanted to thank you for taking the time and answering my question. I also wanted to thank you for putting out some kick a*! products.

As a person who makes a living from persuading people to buy my products the information that is in the Covert Hypnosis CD set is amazing, and the Body Language set can give you a leg up in sales and negotiating.”

Most people don’t have any clue when it comes to reading and using body language. They are being lied to without their knowledge.

Is Body Language A Bunch of Hype?

Some people think that body language is too complicated – that it’s difficult to know what anyone is thinking or feeling through their body movements. As you can vouch from the photo samples above, it only takes the right knowledge from a true expert to be a body language specialist.

Others are wondering why almost everything they’ve read about body language doesn’t work. I can’t blame them.

Many so-called body language experts who lack experience have sprung up. They are flying by the seat of their pants and are simply guessing… and often guessing wrong (from my own personal observation).

In today’s world, you can’t afford to be wrong or you’ll waste a lot of your time, effort and money. And it could hurt you in permanent ways.

My course will NOT teach you the same garbage pop psychology that the self-proclaimed body language teachers have said for years. Things like: crossing of arms means defensive posture; nodding means they’re agreeing with you; or smiling is a good sign of liking. These are all nonsense. They will not work because they are not supported in real life situations.

I’m here to reveal genuine techniques on reading and interpreting body language, based on 20 years of scientific studies and solid experience.

Once you have the ability to decode the actual feelings or thoughts behind body gestures and movements, you will attain a sixth sense that can create dramatic improvements in your life! You’ll know people’s mood or state simply by looking at them. You’ll wonder how you’re able to live all this time, without having this vital skill in your communication arsenal.

I’m Convinced, Kevin… This is the Best Body Language Course on the Planet. How Much Is It?

With the overall benefits you’ll be getting from this course, you’d probably be expecting to invest thousands of dollars. After all, I charge $25,000.00 for whole day seminar events, and $20,000.00 for half day events around the world, teaching the same techniques you’ll discover from my Body Language Home Study Program.

And even if just a small portion of my body language course could bring you truckloads of money or make anyone like you instantly, isn’t that easily worth at least $3,000? That’s a small investment compared to the tens (or hundreds) of thousands of extra dollars you will make using my techniques, not to mention all the people who will instantly like and admire you.

Reputable people and companies have paid me sizably, over and over again, just to share my body language secrets with them. Now I want to help as many people as I can. That’s why I’ve decided to give this breakthrough body language course away for only $697!

This course reveals ALL the key secrets of body language you need to know… for a tiny fraction of my seminar’s cost per hour!

But I got feedback from a number of interested people that they still can’t afford it. So in my quest to help more people, I’m giving you a bargain like no other. If you invest in my Body Language Course today, , you can secure your copy at the rock bottom price of only $697 $197!

Please note that the price could increase at any time. If I begin to realize that charging a higher price (in exchange for the tremendous value you’re getting) is more than fair, then I won’t hesitate to do that. But if you order now, your investment is guaranteed to be only $197.

Why Am I Offering This Valuable Program For Much Less Than Its Worth?

I thought that if I get enough people to see what others are thinking or feeling (through their body language), it breaks down a lot of barriers and makes communication better, more efficient, and more honest. This will cause people to have higher integrity, so I get to make the world a better place in my own little way.

Another reason is that I enjoy reading “thank you” letters from people who have increased their sales regularly. That makes me feel good.

It’s also fun and fascinating to show people how they can be charismatic, and be well received by others. It’s a win-win situation for both of us.

For only $197, you can be as good at analyzing body language as anyone who is doing it professionally. And you don’t even have to leave the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Plus, you can listen to the CD’s and watch the DVD’s as many times as you want until you master the art of reading and using body language (unlike in a seminar where you get bombarded with information, that you forget most of them when you get home).

Frankly, I only get paid a very tiny fraction of what you’ll actually be earning when you use my body language techniques, not to mention the vast improvements you’ll experience in every aspect of your life.

So it only makes sense to get it now.

But that’s not all…

You’ll have LIFETIME replacement warranty. That means we will replace any CD’s or DVD’s if they break or get lost… for life!

And you’ll also get LIFETIME upgrades! If I discover anything new or beneficial about body language in my never-ending scientific research and studies, I’ll send it to you for FREE! If anything is improved or revised in the program, you’ll get it for FREE! This is the only way to ensure that you stay on top of the body language field, and get a unique edge over almost everyone else.

By the way, have I told you we have one of the fastest delivery times in the business?

“The delivery of products is FAST, incredibly FAST…”

“I have just ordered my second CD set from you. I know you have heard this before – the delivery of products is FAST, incredibly FAST.

I have received notification and delivery of your products faster than any other product I have ordered in my life! Thanks for the wonderful products and service.”

— Carol Shireena Sakai, www.carolsakai.com


“Your service is exceptional…”

“Your service is exceptional. The quality of your service made me enjoy spending money with you.”

— Fred Frego, MountainView, AR

Now tell me… how much have you invested in improving yourself for the last few years? Maybe you’ve tried one product after another, searching for the one true formula for overall success, but you haven’t found it yet.

Have you been burned by so-called gurus who look credible, but don’t actually know what they’re talking about?

It’s time to learn from a REAL master of body language who walks the talk. This is not to brag, but to tell you the truth. And the truth is that very few people can read and use body language as well as I do.

If you’ve read my bio above, you’ve already seen the long list of Fortune 500 companies, major TV networks and magazines, international media, and famous people who have relied on me for body language advice.

But you don’t even have to take my word for it. Simply search the internet for my name and see what other people and companies have said about me.

In just a few minutes from now, you could have the ability to explode your sales, attract the opposite sex, get liked by everyone, and know the truth behind people’s gestures and actions. Or you could stay where you are now… wasting the amazing opportunities that becoming a body language master has to offer. The decision is yours.

I’m sure you want to get the best possible training in the area of body language, right? And you can finally get it for a tiny fraction of what most people are paying. Grab this opportunity now before the price increases.

Wishing you the very best of success,

Kevin Hogan
