Allan Pease b. 1962
The motivational speaker Allan Pease has no education in
psychology, neuroscience, or psychiatry, but has managed to establish himself
as an expert on relationships and body language. He is the author of 18
bestselling books, many of them co-written with his wife Barbara, and he
teaches simple, field-tested skills and techniques that show how to decode
other people's behaviour. Pease is particularly strong in the area of
handshakes, business encounters, sex differences and the body language of
attraction and love. The Peases have conducted their own experiments such as
the effect of furniture arrangements on responsiveness. Together with Barbara he runs Pease International and they produce videos, training courses and seminars for business
and governments worldwide.
