There are so many good points here.  I wish I could get into all of them.  But I'll say two things.  
 
One. Without reading Navarro's book (have read some others....The Book of Tells, etc), I would imagine pointing of the feet [I]sometimes[/I] allows you to lean in more.  Our mind tends to go towards what we want and away from what we don't.  Feet are a big tell.....in life.  Think about it.  When you are in a conversation with someone you don't like, check yourself.  Bet one of your feet is pointing away.  It's for flight....you don't want to be there, so you 'prepare' yourself to leave.  If you like something or someone (interested in them OR the conversation), you typically lean in, feet planted forward because you don't want to go anywhere.  If only Navarro said so, it would be one thing.  But several books confirm the thought process.  
 
Two.  Many tells are grounded in the abnormal.  You must first get a normal reading of the individual.  What do they do when they are normal.  When they are not in a hand.  Then watch them in a hand when they have the goods.  What do they do?  THEN watch them in a hand when they bluff.  What do they do?  There should be some stark differences between the three.  Comparing one against the other helps significantly.  Sounds like a lot of work, but it's not.  Just pay attention every hand.
 
This entire thread is very valuable and can help your live game.  That being said, if you don't watch betting patterns, you are screwed.  It is a much more reliable way of reading the hands (IMHO).
