In society, it is expected to be able to read people and develop relationships. This is also a key part of finding happiness, success, and well-being in life. For many, however, this piece of emotional intelligence doesn’t come easily.

This guide is invaluable. The information is simple and easy to understand, but magic for shaping one’s relationships. The ways to implement the suggestions are usable and help to combine knowledge with action. Readers who struggle with emotional intelligence, nonverbal language, and building relationships will want to pick this one. Recommended for most library collections.

This book offers a refreshing take on self-help and non-fiction. Unlike many others that tend to drag on, this one hits the sweet spot in terms of length. I found the practical advice and insights particularly valuable, along with the author's personal anecdotes that added depth to the read.

Despite considering myself an extrovert, I was surprised to discover areas where I could improve in reading social cues. "Read the Room" not only highlighted these areas but also provided actionable strategies to enhance interactions and strengthen relationships. It's a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their relational skills, especially younger adults. Overall, it's a light yet impactful read that I'd recommend to those looking to cultivate meaningful connections in various aspects of life.

This is the book I didn't know I needed. I loved how easy it read - I can get bored easily with some self help/non fiction books when they tend to repeat themselves or drone on and on for a needlessly long amount of time. But this book felt like the right length.

Not only were there practical tips and tricks for you to implement and actually use, there was a lot of good knowledge and life experience shared.

I've always been an extrovert, but in the last few years have realized that I don't read social ques as well as I thought I did. This book somehow pointed out many of the ways I've been seeing in myself that need improvement and gave me practical advice on how to better my interactions with people, and deepen my relationships, not only with acquaintances and friends, but also my spouse and my kids.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking to better themselves in relationships.

A light read on relationships work or home. Tips on how to better engage and develop win win relationships. A lot of foundational tips that might suit younger adult readers. Thanks to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.
