Did you know that during conversation, 60 to 90 percent of all communication is done through body language? Former counterintelligence operative Van Ritch understands this from professional experience, and in this revealing video production from Paladin Press, he will show you how to better understand what people are saying to you with their behavior to get to this "unspoken truth."

Ritch first teaches the concept of a "behavioral baseline" so you can determine what an individual's natural body language looks like. From there, he proves that the eyes really are the windows to the soul by showing you how eye movement relates to what people are thinking and feeling about what they're telling you. Using realistic scenarios in various locations, this video teaches you how to interpret the body language behind many common emotions, including doubt, acceptance, dislike and assessment.

From job interviews to interrogations to social situations, this powerful information can help you understand what people are really saying and how they truly feel, not just what they want you to think.

As the result of more than 20 years as a counterintelligence agent for the U.S. government and almost 7 years working as a law-enforcement instructor, Van Ritch has developed a keen interest and unique perspective on analyzing body language while conducting interviews. First, using the basic techniques of this unique human phenomenon to get to the truth during counterespionage investigations and later using his experience in this field to train investigators, Ritch worked to refine his skills to the point where they are today. His years of real-world experience with interpreting body language is reflected in this informative and revealing video. Among his many accomplishments during his 22 years in the U.S. Army, Ritch graduated from the British Army's Special Intelligence Operations Course, served as the officer in charge of counterespionage for the U.S. sector of West Berlin during the Cold War and was the operations officer responsible for the development of the U.S. Army SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) program.
