Joe Navarro

We seem to wake up to a new tragedy in the news every day--Newtown, Boston, Aurora, Columbine. So often the reporters say that “there were some signs, but nobody acted.” The scary part about these tragedies is that less than 1% of criminals are incarcerated for their crimes, meaning that for every headline, there are millions of dangerous situations in which average people find themselves. On top of that, how can ordinary people identify threats from those who may not hurt them physically but can devastate their lives on a daily basis--the crazy coworkers, out-of control family members, or relentless neighbors? In Dangerous Personalities, former FBI profiler Joe Navarro shows readers how to identify the four most common “dangerous personalities” and analyze how much of a threat each one can be: the Narcissist, the Predator, the Paranoid, and the Unstable Personality. Along the way, readers learn how to protect themselves both immediately and long-term--as well as how to recover from the trauma of being close to such a destructive force.

Dangerous Personalities

From internationally bestselling author and retired FBI agent Joe Navarro, a groundbreaking look at leadership and how to differentiate yourself by mastering the five powerful principles exceptional individuals live by. Bestselling author and globally renowned behavior expert and business consultant Joe Navarro reveals for the first time the five unequaled qualities that set exceptional individuals and great leaders apart, and how you can use these principles to stand out and distinguish yourself. Through commitment to self-mastery in the things we do each day ("to lead others, you must first demonstrate that you can lead yourself"); keen observational skills using techniques Joe used in the FBI to decode people and situations with laser-like precision; proven verbal and nonverbal communication skills that persuade and inspire; and action that builds shared purpose and leads by example, we arrive at the most necessary ingredient of all for interpersonal and business relations: "whoever provides psychological comfort wins." Be Exceptional culminates Joe's more than four decades of work analyzing human behavior, including a quarter of a century in counterespionage and high-stakes behavioral assessment, conducting over 10,000 interviews, and advising major corporations on best practices. Including case studies from business and history, compelling stories from Joe's life and career, and cutting-edge science, Be Exceptional empowers you to change how you see yourself, influence how others see you, and prepare, should the opportunity arise, to be not just ready to lead, but worthy to lead.
