A Reader Review
Neglected masterpiece, September 2, 1998
Reviewer: Henry E Dreher (see more about me
at Amazon.com) from New York, NY
Conventional wisdom has it that the firest two-thirds of
this treatise on character analysis improved
psychoanalytic technique, focusing on character-based
resistances rather than just on interpreting content--associations,
dreams, etc. True enough, but the last third, which
analysts and critics say represents Reich's slippage into
maddness, is even more brilliant and farsighted. Here,
Reich moves into the area of bioenergy and body-based
psychotherapy. He presages some modern developments in
psychotherapy, and in many respects, moves ahead of where
mainstream therapy resides today. His bioenergy/therapy
integration was also a forerunner of much of today's
alternative mind-body and energy medicine modalities.
Reich was not always the most trenchant writer, but here
is writing his sharp, direct, and provocative. This is
Reich's great contribution, still largely neglected.

A Reader Review
A highly recommended book! Fascinating!,
May 27, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from California
If you ever wonder what kind of body type you have and
what baggage comes with that profile, go grab this book
up! It explains the thoughts that create some of the most
common ailments that modern people walk around with now.
If you wonder about what causes you to have a broad chest
and skinny legs, this is the book for you. If you have
any part in the healing art field, this book is essential
for your library. Enjoy it, be surely satisfied and
fascinated all in one sitting.

A Reader Review
The bible for learning about oriental diagnosis,
February 3, 2000
Reviewer: Mort Greenberg
from New York
"Reading the body", by W. Ohashi is a must read.
From head to toe our bodies have external signs for
internal troubles, and this book will show you how to
find them to help yourself and others. "Reading the
Body" is the one book that I always come back to as
a reference. In fact, I'm buying my second copy of this
book today since my first is worn out.

It's true that politicians blink much more frequently
when they're lying, but what other behavior clues do
people inadvertently give off? If you want to know if
you're being boondoggled, how to tell if your date is
interested in a serious relationship, or if you should
take that new job, Jo-Ellan Demitrius will help you
figure it all out. She gives away the tricks of her trade--jury
consulting--in this eye-opening handbook for predicting
the behavior and revealing the thoughts of others. She's
consulted for more than 600 jury trials, including the O.J.
Simpson, Rodney King, and John DuPont cases, as well as
for Fortune 100 companies. If her name rings a bell, it
may be because she's been on Oprah, Larry King Live, and
60 Minutes, among other television shows.
Much more than a collection of tips on reading body
language, her book is supremely organized, detailed, and
thorough, with lists of physical characteristics, vocal
patterns, office props, and conversational behaviors that
reveal much more than you'd think. She instructs on how
to analyze hundreds of details of everyday living, from
the style of the picture frame on your boss's desk to the
odd way that an acquaintance swears up a storm, in order
to uncover personality traits and predict future behavior.
Demitrius isn't a hocus-pocus intuition hawker; she's
more of a scientist. "...over the past fifteen
years," she writes, "I have tested this method
on more than ten thousand 'research subjects.' After
predicting the behavior of thousands of jurors,
witnesses, lawyers, and judges, I have been able to see
whether my predictions came true....I did not always peg
them correctly, especially in the earlier years. But by
testing my perceptions over and over, I have verified
which clues are generally reliable and which are not."
Her advice will prove valuable not just to lawyers but to
businesspeople, parents, and anyone curious about their
relationships. While the book is mostly aimed at
deconstructing the behavior and characteristics of
others, it's also useful for job candidates and anyone
concerned with projecting the appropriate image. -- Erica
Jorgensen --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

A Reader Review
The mind appears in the body!, November
1, 1999
Reviewer: Merrily Manthey,
M.S. from Washington State
An incredible book! As a professional in the field of
human potential, I found this book very useful to offer
to clients. And they got excited and passed the title
along to their loved ones and friends. The understanding
of the various forces (literal and figurative) that play
on our physical form is powerful. Must reading for those
exploring the euphoria of possibilities!

Book Description
* The first book in English on the ancient
Chinese tradition of reading personality traits in
physical appearance. * Includes over 100
illustrations that explain the meanings of physical
characteristics. * Explains how individuals can influence
their destiny and use negatively perceived physical
aspects as tools for healthy relationships and positive
self-transformation.
Min Xiang Shue--also known as body feng shui--is an
ancient Taoist tradition that uses the techniques from
the more familiar art of placement (feng shui) to reveal
the connection between inner character and external
appearance. According to this ancient art, it is possible
to recognize the personality of an individual from his or
her facial features, hand shape, movements, and posture.
Generously illustrated with more than 100 drawings that
explain the meaning of distinctive physical
characteristics, Body Feng Shui teaches you how to
explore your own and others' destinies by reading the
truths of the soul as they appear on the human body.
Introduced for the first time in the Western world, the
art of body feng shui can show how a negative or positive
physical aspect can be partially responsible for
happiness or misfortune, health or illness, wealth or
poverty. Moreover, though we are given certain attributes
at birth, these are not unchangeable. Body Feng Shui
provides valuable lessons for redesigning our fate based
on the observations of our physical appearance and offers
many examples of positive changes you can make to
transform an inauspicious physical feature into a
blessing--none of which require plastic surgery.

Book Description
More than 90 percent of all face-to-face communications
are nonverbal. This "body language" can have a
profound influence on how we respond to one another.
Learn how to interpret these clues and use them to convey
a positive personal and professional image.
A Reader Review
Teach Yourself Body Language by Gordon R.
Wainwright, December 1, 1999
Reviewer: A reader from Florida
The purpose of this book is to learn a language that
everybody knows already. A different form of
communications, a form that we all express unconsciously.
For example, most people do not realize just how much
they use their "eyes" to seek information, to
show attention and interest, or even reveal an attitude
about something or someone. Just today, I experienced an
individual on my job giving me this long "stare."
According to Mr. Wainwright, "Long unflickering
looks are used by those who seek to dominate, threaten,
intimidate or otherwise influence others." (Chapter
2, page 11) A person staring can also have an adverse
effect on its outcome. In my case, it was not a look of
influence or encouragement! Mr. Wainwright's book is a
constant reminder or should I say an "eye opener"
of our own source of being. Often, we do not pay
attention to our surroundings we take these small things
for granted. This is an excellent study material for
communicating without orally communicating. Teach
Yourself Body Language is a contributing factor to
personal growth and self-development. This book consists
of 17 chapters, contents dealing with Eye Contact, as I
mentioned above, Facial Expression, Gestures and
Movement, Appearance and Physique, Body Language and
Spoken Language just to name a few. This book is concise
and it is not long nor boring. There are exercises after
each chapter that you or a group can have some fun. For
example; with the eyes, in his book it tells you that the
next time you are in a public place, like in a
restaurant, observe the other people present as
discreetly as you can. Note how they look at each other
when they are talking. Also, note how long each period of
eye contact is (no need to time it-just note whether the
mutual glances are short or long). There are reviews to
your exercise(s) but you would have to read this book in
order to find out the outcome. I give this book a 4 star!
It's good reading and very informative. I would
absolutely recommend this to you or any others who would
like to find out more about the limitations and
advantages of body language as a means of communicating.
Suggestions for further reading complete the book and
should prove helpful to the reader who wishes to explore
the subject further.
