I got this last week and thought some of you would be interested.
Whether it's your kid, the latest celebrity mishap, your spouse, coworker or boss, or the dry cleaner who lost your favorite shirt, their body language is telling you everything you need to know. Former Navy SEAL and military interrogator Greg Hartley knows all the clues and his latest in a series of books on body language, The Body Language Handbook, has a variety of tips and techniques that he'd like to share with you.
The Body Language Handbook:
How to Read Everyone's Hidden Thoughts and Intentions
By Gregory Hartley and Maryann Karinch
Ever wonder what that raised eyebrow, nervous twitch, or lazy slouch really means? Is it profound and important...or a meaningless quirk? What celebrities are really saying on the red carpet? Wondering if your significant other is lying to you? Are they really in love?
In The Body Language Handbook (Career Press, January 2010; $15.99), the authors, media pros, 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 determine "abnormal" matters.
* Read changes in body language.
* Avoid misunderstandings.
* Project the right message.
* Protect yourself from manipulation.
The Body Language Handbook will not only teach you how to read the body language of others, it will also make sure you send the signals you want to send. Increase your power of communication at the office, in a courtroom or classroom, at home, and in any social setting--even the poker table!
