Synopsis

Imagine meeting someone for the first time and within minutes--without a word being said--having the ability to tell what that person is thinking. Magic? Not quite. Whether people are aware of it or not, their body movements clearly express their attitudes and motives, communicating key information that is invaluable in a range of situations.

How to Read a Person Like a Book is designed to teach you how to interpret and reply to the nonverbal signals of business associates, friends, loved ones, and even strangers. Best-selling authors Gerard Nierenberg, Henry Calero, and Gabriel Grayson have collaborated to put their working knowledge of body language into this practical guide to recognizing and understanding body movements. In this book, you will find the authors' proven techniques for gaining control of negotiations, detecting lies, and even recognizing signs of sexual attraction.

Whether in an office, on a date, or on a family outing, the simple technique of reading body language is a unique skill that offers real and important benefits.

From the Back Cover

· DO YOU THINK THERE'S SOMETHING THE SALESMAN ISN'T TELLING YOU?
· IS YOUR COLLEAGUE SHOWING ROMANTIC INTEREST IN YOU?
· IS YOUR PARTNER TENSE AND FEELING DOWNCAST?

People's gestures speak volumes about their hidden thoughts, motivations, ambitions and desires. By correctly interpreting a hand position, a stance or even a gait, we can learn to better understand and communicate with colleagues, lovers, friends and even strangers. We can tell when someone may be lying, nervous, angry or amorous.

This comprehensive guide to body language will help you to read the meaning behind hundreds of non-verbal signs as well as understanding how clothing can be used to convey or undermine a message and how your handshake can show whether you want to dominate, give way or be considered an equal. You will learn not only how to understand the mental and emotional aspects of others but also how to get your message across efficiently.
