Product Description: If you are puzzled by other people or want to improve the impression you give, knowing about body language could be the key. In this book you’ll discover how the body reveals what people really mean and how you can use your body and your expressions to improve your self-image to others. It explores why we give the signals we do, how to read the most common expressions and goes on to show how you can use your new understanding of body language for success at work, in relationships and in your communication. Actions really do speak louder than words!
great book Out of books on body languages I'v have read,this is the best one over all.The Other's were good too,but this one is the best so far.The other's were good to,but i think this-is best for the masses of people.
Triumph What a triumph...this book tells it all! Easy to read, and easy to understand. Enlightening. I can use this new-found knowledge in both personal and business situations.
Body Language for Dummies This is an incredibly helpful book. It is so well written and gives us helpful information in a witty and intelligent style. I recommend it highly.
Buy this book if you are British and live in a cave I was hoping for insight. I was hoping for some new and interesting information. My hopes were for naught. The author clearly has NO idea how to write for anyone other than a UK audience. `John lives in London but his girlfriend lives in Manchester, you can imagine the fuss...'
No, actually I can't.
`Mark was acting like a pageboy...'
Acting like a what?
`Prince Charles fiddled with the cuff-links given to him by the Duchess of Cornwall...'
...and?
The author also seems to think that everyone but her has never left their house. Most of what she writes about is so painfully obvious to, um..., EVERYONE, it's difficult to read the book and not just skim through it.
Yep, frown means sad, laugh means happy, thanks for wasting my time. There are some interesting bits here and there, but they are difficult to glean.
A fun and valuable book Elizabeth Kuhnke has written a fun, valuable, and necessary book for both personal use and professional consumption. With a common sense approach, she provides insight and clarity on how we communicate non-verbally -- reminding us that what we say with our body can enhance (or defeat) the verbal message we intend. I highly recommend this book, especially as a presentation training primer.
