Anthropologist David Givens is the director of the Centre
for Nonverbal Studies in Spokane, Washington. He has been a consultant for
Pfizer, Epson, Wendy’s, Dell, Unilever, and Best Buy, and teaches Communication
and Leadership in the graduate program of the School of Professional Studies at
Gonzaga University. In his books, which include Crime Signals, Love Signals and
The Nonverbal Dictionary of gestures, signs and body language cues, Givens
looks at how and why we behave as we do, as animals do, such as our metalis
muscle, which covers the chin and causes the skin to quiver, being a muscle
that reflects emotion. Our primal behaviours and influences are discussed,
applying greed, trust and deception to contemporary, practical settings.
