How To Read A Person Like A Book: And What To Do About It - 1971

"From thousands of experiments, seminars, photographs, and personal observations the authors have arrived at an unusual and revealing approach to nonverbal communication which can teach anyone not only how to interpret body gestures but also what to do about the interpretation. This is the first and only illustrated guide to gesture-reading which can truly change and improve the reader's relations with others. The numerous revealing sketches... show the reader: - how to keep a controlling hand in arguments and negotiations - how to tell whether your opponent is lying - how thoughts of friendliness or flirtation are expressed - how boredom or defensiveness is revealed and how to overcome both - how to read gestures that are feigned or have double meanings; and much more! in addition to advice on emotional attitudes revealed by body expressions, the reader will find an extraordinary number of everyday gestures analyzed in detail, such as personal gestures, telephone stances, handshakes, and walks. Wherever you go you will enjoy the newfound awareness this book will bring to you..." - How To Read A Person Like A Book: And What To Do About It - Gerard I. Nierenberg & Henry H.
