Know What People Are Thinking

My pocket book edition is a small book with a large amount
of content. There have been many updates with Gabriel Grayson joining the
authors and it remains a valuable resource. Gerard Nierenberg and Henry Calero use
their own experience and records of their own observations to explain the
meanings behind many actions, with an understanding of established findings
from elsewhere never far away. How to Read a Person Like a Book is
designed to teach you how to interpret and reply to the nonverbal signals of
business associates, friends, loved ones, and even strangers. You may find the
authors' techniques for gaining control of negotiations particularly interesting.
Lots of areas are covered; detecting lies, recognizing signs of sexual
attraction, seating, smoking, etc. Worth reading.
