Body Language (Teach Yourself)

The silent messages of body language often reveal more than the spoken word in conveying true feelings. These messages are particularly significant in influencing first impressions and the self-image we project to others. This guide to body language demonstrates how to use and interpret body language effectively and explores the use of body language in personal and professional situations. Practical exercises enhance understanding of the text.
