Every doctor and nurse should read his books.

It's such an interesting topic but I wish someone else had written this. He cites many examples to back up what he's trying to say but it's so disconnected. It doesn't feel like it's getting anywhere. And so what? What does this example MEAN? Why is it important? Is that a GOOD thing, a BAD thing? Meh. It's ironic that this book is often about how we pick up on unconscious social cues and yet the writer seems out of touch - like he's from another time. He uses words like "busybody" and "hitherto" and I can overlook that but every other line is a metaphor and every other one of those metaphors uses the word "dance". Every social interaction between two people is a "subtle dance." YUCK. Maybe it's more obvious to me because I'm listening to the audio version, but every time he says it, I groan. Too bad.
