SIGNAL: A Field Manual for Reading Human Behaviour

A reference book for the moments words run out.

SIGNAL is a field manual for reading human behaviour. 120 behaviours, fully illustrated, each with its meaning, its context, and the cues it should never be confused with.

Drawn from FBI counterintelligence work, clinical research, and decades of nonverbal observation. Filtered through a single editorial voice.

Designed to be opened at any page and closed again ten seconds later. Indexed by behaviour. Cross-referenced by meaning. Honest about which signals hold up under scrutiny and which don't.

Three rules sit beneath every entry:

• Clusters, not single tells. One behaviour means almost nothing.

• Baseline first, deviation second. Watch how a person looks when nothing is at stake.

• Context can flip the meaning. Read the room before the body.

Not a lie detector. Not a mind-reading kit. A vocabulary for what the body is actually doing.
