In an increasingly complex and fast-moving world body language can be the key to success or failure; Body Language explores this unspoken language and shows us how to interpret the signals we receive and how to control the messages we send. Starting with such broad basics as first impressions and territorial behaviour, the book moves on to study the body signals we are likely to give out in specific situations, such as parties and social gatherings, the workplace, and sexual relationships. A look at deception, and the contradictions that can occur between words and actions, is finally followed by an easy-to-read, visual dictionary of body language, showing key gestures along with their meanings.
