Synopsis

Body Language is the winner of the Non-fiction Travel Read 2009, BAA Heathrow Travel Product Awards - More than 23,000 votes were cast in a month-long nominations period, with votes coming in from across the world.

 

Your body language is on display almost all of the time…so isn’t it important you know what signal you’re sending? Discover how to use your body language to your advantage and at the same time learn how to decipher other people’s signals.

Research shows that up to 90% of communication is transmitted non-verbally and that the most successful people - in all walks of life - are intuitive in deciphering these signals. We may think we know how to use this ‘silent’ language but how many of us can actually use it well?

Body Language will help you:

• gain a deeper understanding of other people so you can ‘read’ their minds

• know what non-verbal signals you may be giving out to others and how to use this to communicate and gain the response you want

• notice if what someone says is completely at odds with what they are thinking or feeling

• learn how your ‘extremities’ can give you away (despite what’s coming out of your mouth).

• make a better impression in your social and work life by being aware of your ‘bodytalk’ (and that of others)...and more.

About this title

About the Author

James Borg spends part of his working time as a business consultant and
coach and also conducts personal development and business skills
workshops covering memory improvement, persuasion, body language
awareness and ‘mind control’.
 

With a profound interest in the workings of the human mind, he
developed memory techniques at an early age which eventually
established him as a ‘memory expert’. After becoming interested in magic,
he later specialised and performed in the branch of the art known as ‘mind magic.’

 

Influenced by an academic background in economics and psychology,
he’s spent a lifetime observing the ‘mind-body’ connection and went on
to study the various mind ‘therapies’ which result in thinking and
behavioural change in a person’s personal and working life.
  

His knowledge was honed in a career that spans the spectrum of
advertising, sales, marketing, work psychology, training and
journalism. He appears on BBC radio and contributes to national
newspapers and magazines on the subject of consumer affairs, body
language and business and communication skills. In 2009 he was chosen
as a Harvard Business Review contributor. He still finds time to pursue
occasional travel and sports journalism which he became involved with
early on in his career.
 

He is the author of the 'trilogy' comprising of the Number 1
international bestseller Persuasion , the award-winning bestseller Body
Language and Mind Power which have all been translated into multiple
languages across the globe.
