Synopsis

A fresh, insightful guide to reading body language in the post-digital age

Whether you’re at a job interview or a cocktail party, searching LinkedIn or swiping right on a dating site, you want (no—need) to understand what people are really thinking, regardless of what they’re saying. Understanding what others are trying to tell you with their posture, hand gestures, eye contact (or lack thereof) or incessant fiddling with their iPhone might all be even more important than what you’re projecting yourself. Do they plan on making a deal with your company? Are they lying to you? Can you trust this person with your most intimate secrets? Knowing what others are thinking can tell you when to run with an opportunity and when not to waste your time, whether at work, in a crucial negotiation or on a promising first date.

Bestselling authors Mark Bowden and Tracey Thomson, principals at the communications company Truthplane, illustrate the essential points of body language with examples from everyday life, leavened with humour and insights that you can use to your advantage in virtually any situation.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

A fresh, insightful, myth-busting guide to reading body language in the post-digital age

Whether you’re at a job interview or an after-party, searching LinkedIn or swiping right on a dating site, you will want (no, need!) to understand what people are really thinking, regardless of what they’re saying.

Unlocking your ability to better understand others’ feelings toward you and predict their intentions will help you know when to run with a real opportunity and when to back away from certain harm.
