The Dictionary of Body Language: A Field Guide to Human Behavior

Product Information

I can't say that after finishing this book you can be an expert on Body Language, but you'll certainly notice or pay more attention to small things people do--and understand what they mean. Book Genre: Business, Communication, Nonfiction, Personal Development, Psychology, Science, Self Help Moving from the head down to the feet, Navarro shows the hidden meanings behind what we do. Readers will learn how to tell a person’s feelings from changes in their pupils; the lip behaviors that may betray concerns; the different varieties of arm posturing, and what each one means; and many other fascinating insights. From former FBI agent and bestselling author Joe Navarro, a field guide companion to his classic What Every BODY is Saying, revealing the more than 400 essential body language indicators. After reading the book, I realized that some of the facts mentioned I have already known but always taken for granted; Such as "positive emotions drive gravity-defying gestures", some repetitive and stroking motions have soothing effect that help a person deal with stress, etc. There are also some new facts (for me) that are good to know.

I think this book would have been better if it were a video series (ex. movie, tv, YouTube). This would provide actual (visual) examples of each social cue described in this book. I think people who struggle with understanding or reading social cues would benefit from this. Listeners will turn to The Dictionary Body Language again and again—a body language bible for anyone looking to understand what their boss really means, interpret whether a potential romantic partner is interested or not, and learn how to put themselves forward in the most favorable light. Absolutely dreadful. This book is only useful to someone who has no ability to recognize social cues whatsoever. Most of the information provided is simply common sense. To top that off, when talking about certain actions, the author tries to explain them in detail but fails miserably. Surely there must have been someone in the editorial process that suggested adding a few images to help make it clearer. This book piqued my interest after I watched an episode of Wired on YouTube, featuring the writer, Joe Navarro's. He's a retired FBI agent, and his explanation about body language makes it seem really intriguing.

If language was given to men to conceal their thoughts, then gesture’s purpose was to disclose them. Basically, it's a review of all the body parts that are used in body language, some of which I'm already familiar with and others of which I'm not. Because I'm somewhat interested in the subject, I found this to be fascinating.

Body language is one example of nonverbal communication. The term “ nonverbal communication” refers to any form of communication other than writing or speaking. Sometimes, the information you convey with your body has to speak for you. Often, it says more than the words you speak.The ultimate body language reference. I’ll be both referring to and recommending this book on a daily basis for many years to come.” —Amy Cuddy If language was given to men to conceal their thoughts, then gesture's purpose was to disclose them."
