Title: How to read a person like a book
Author: Gerard Nierenberg & Henry Calero
Publisher: Pocket Books
Summary
Our bodies are a greater commutative tool than we release. The gestures and non verbal communications we express speak volumes about our thoughts, motivations, ambitions and desires. By correctly interpreting a hand positions, stance or facial expression we can learn to understand and communicate more effectively with our colleagues, friends and strangers. Similarly having a greater knowledge of how our own gestures and non verbal communications could be interrupted, should allow us to be more aware of ourselves during one to one meetings and group discussions.
