- All That and a Bag of Chips
- I met Staff Sergeant Hartley in 1997, when I was an Army Warrant Officer and we were assigned to the same unit. We served together on several occasions, and I came to appreciate at first hand that he really IS all that and a bag of chips. We talked at length, ate together, and trained together. I considered him a friend, and was sorry when life moved us in different directions.
Several reviewers have called Greg arrogant, either directly or in so many words. Our former CO certainly thought so, but she also let him do his thing, because he was so good at his job. People who pursue, and-- like Greg--actually ACHIEVE excellence are usually considered to be a pain in the a*s by people who are watching the clock and waiting for their retirement papers to come through. They perceive as arrogance the assurance of a subordinate who is better at the job than they are--and knows it. It is a sad commentary on our society that even those of surpassing ability are expected to adopt an "aw, shucks!" act, and pretend they are no better than anyone else.
Greg doesn't play that game.
In fact, he reminds me of another "Gregory"--the fictional Dr. House--abrasive, unconventional, opinionated, occasionally dismissive, and usually right. Even so, I was never once put off by his demeanor or behavior--not in the least. I was technically his superior at our former unit, where, to his credit, he always observed proper military courtesies, even though we both knew that he was a better interrogator than I was. That hardly bespeaks arrogance. Quite the contrary. SSG Hartley was an exemplary, though certainly atypical, soldier and NCO.
I went on to earn a Ph.D. and become a college professor, but I have not forgotten what I learned from Greg. He has a unique mind, clear vision, and a powerful, penetrating intellect. Anyone with an interest in this subject would do well to listen to what he has to say.
I did, and I knew the man. - 2008-09-11, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- Great Tool for Successful Performances Onstage, at the Office
- Who knew?
Who knew that an eyebrow communicated so much. Well, Maryann Karinch and Gregory Hartley know and tell us all about it in this eye-opening book.
Karinch channels the wealth of information that Hartley has assembled as a military interrogator into this volume giving the reader an insider's view of how information can be acquired from people just by reading their body movement.
Hartley provides a head-to-toe process for evaluating what someone is saying with their body, rather than their words. If followed, Hartley's methods should give practitioners the upper hand in many of the difficult exchanges most of us have to negotiate everday.
What gives this book much of its power is the "shock of recognition" that you experience as you read it.
"Of course," you will say to yourself, "I've seen people do that -- I've just never heard it put into words before."
But in other parts of the book you'll be surprised to learn what some facial and body movements can mean. I was particularly surprised in Hartley's assertion that the aforementioned eyebrows will flick upward when two people who know each other meet.
I experimented with this myself just by visualizing meeting someone I knew and focusing on keeping my eyebrows from going up. I managed to keep them motionless. "Aha! No interrogator will ever get the goods from me," I thought. But as soon as I stopped concentrating on the task, my eyebrows involuntarily shot up. Amazing.
As an actor, I find the information in this book priceless. The authors have provided performers with a veritable tookbox of movements that can project many different thoughts and emotions on stage.
All in all it's a great book. - 2008-08-11, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- The art and science of body language
- Listeners will learn some of the same skills the best interrogators and detectives use to evaluate spies, criminals, and witnesses, interpreting body language, mannerisms and other non-verbal communications. This is primarily a self-help audio that will help you learn to communicate with your own face and body to your best advantage and put these skills to use in everyday life.
