The Body Language Handbook

Ever wonder what that raised eyebrow, nervous twitch, or lazy slouch really means? Is it profound and important— or a meaningless quirk? In The Body Language Handbook, the authors use candid photos of real people in stress-free situations, then juxtapose them against others showing the same people responding to different kinds of stimulus to illustrate the power of body language. By going step-by-step from the holistic to the detailed, you'll quickly discover when body language indicates something significant, and when an itch is just an itch. You'll learn how to:

•Identify the basic mechanics of human communication.

•Observe what is culturally normal— and when "abnormal" matters.

•Read changes in body language.

•Avoid misunderstandings.

•Project the right message.
