Product Description

Product Description
We all use body language. Over 90% of all face-to-face communication is non-verbal, and 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.

Teach Yourself Body Language gives you the knowledge and understanding to be able to use and interpret body language more effectively. It includes practical exercises that will enhance your understanding of non-verbal communication. It also explores the use of body language in personal and professional situations.

All aspects of body language are covered including features of the workplace and features exhibited in an international context.

About the Author
Gordon Wainwright, BA, BEd, is a specialist in communication studies, whose books inlcude 'Business Writing in a Week' and 'Tricky Business Letters'. As a consultant in human resouce development he conducts regular seminars for local and central governments departments and a number of multinational companies on subjects which include the use of body language in business meetings and negotiations and other professional contexts.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Beginners Guide to Body Language, 25 May 2004
By A Customer
I was slightly disappointed that the subjects I was most interested in weren`t covered more fully; The section "How to spot a liar", for example, is only about a page long and is rather vague, referring to obvious tell-tale signs such as blushing. Although it states that certain gestures may be indicative of a lie, they have to be put into context - Someone itching their nose as they speak may be telling a lie; then again, they might have an itchy nose. Little else is said about the subject.
Some of the material is obvious to the point of being condescending, but even if you don`t find the information useful, you can have fun performing the people-watching exercises at a bar and seeing how outrageously people actually flirt, and what their seemingly innocuous gestures really mean. All in all, it`s not a bad read, although it`s more of a general overview of body language and glances over some of the more intricate aspects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read, 11 May 2003
Very well written and informative book, albeit sometimes a little vague, I felt, in the topics I personally find most interesting. Is slightly like a text book in parts, but the exercises and tasks recommended you carry out in real life are most enjoyable and interesting which makes the entire learning of the topic overall very satisfing. Is mostly text, with a few drawings here and there to break the reading up and add a slight element of humour.

2.0 out of 5 stars An Easy Read of Little use..!, 31 Oct 2007
By Mr. K. Hoye "Bazman" (Harlow) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In a nutshell this book is an easy read, one to read whilst sitting on the toilet... and it does contain some interesting information. sadly though this information is thin on the ground leaving the reader having to trawl through lots of facts like: Looking around the room during a conversation means you are bored. Shrugging your sholders means you don't know. Puffing your chest out, leaning forward, lowering your eyebrows, raising your voice and prodding someone in the chest firmly with your index finger means you're about to kick their head in.
I can't imagine many people bothering with the exercises in the book either. (By the way... Did you know that if the person you are talking to is frowning whilst drumming their fingers on the table or tapping their foot it could mean that they are becoming impatient..?!)
The book is broken down into neat little chapters covering topics such as, eye contact, facial expression, head movement, gestures and body movement (The closer you stand to somebody the more comfortable you are with them..WOW..!), etc..
If you can pick this book up for a couple of quid then go for it otherwise I wouldn't bother.
