The Art of Body Talk: How to Decode Gestures, Mannerisms, and Other Non-Verbal Messages

Description

Reading body language is a gateway to understanding why people act the way they do. It's not just a matter of understanding their true emotions, but, also, identifying their true motivation. In THE ART OF BODY TALK the authors share their highly successful R.E.A.D. (Review Evaluate Analyze Decide) system of understanding body language, but with a new dimension. They give you the skills to use R.E.A.D. to see what's behind the eye movement, gestures and twitches - the skills to go inside the head of your source! * Why stop at "what" in reading body language? Go all the way to "why" - the driving force behind the actions. * Discover how to get past your filters, so you aren't tricked by your own misperceptions. * Learn how to apply the skills in business and in your personal life.
