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.

From the Back Cover

This book will change the way you communicate forever.

Over half of our communication is through the body, but how many of us actually know how to use body language and, most importantly, use it well?

The power and influence of body language is huge. Whether you need to sell an idea, get your point across, understand what other people really think, body language is at the root of all communication. Get it right and communicating with others will be a breeze, but get it wrong and you’re in for a struggle.

Body Language will make sure you get it right every time. In seven simple lessons you’ll become an expert at reading others and controlling your own gestures to get the response you want. You’ll discover a whole new language at your finger tips – welcome to the silent language of success!
