From former FBI agent and bestselling author Joe Navarro, a
field guide companion to his classic What Every BODY is Saying, revealing the
more than 400 essential body language indicators. A decade after his huge
international bestseller What Every BODY is Saying, which has sold more
than half a million copies in the U.S. and been published in dozens of foreign
territories, retired FBI agent Joe Navarro offers its follow-up. The
Dictionary of Body Language is a companion “field guide” to What Every
BODY is Saying, expanding the original work with hundreds of additional
behaviours, and presenting them all in an easy-to-reference format. Moving from
the head down to the feet, Navarro explains the hidden meanings behind the many
conscious and subconscious things we do with our bodies. We learn how to tell a
person’s true feelings from movement and dilation in their pupils; what to
watch for in the lips of a person who may be afraid, or lying; the many
different varieties of arm-crossing, and what each one means; how the position
of our thumbs when we stand akimbo reflects our mental state; and many other
fascinating insights. The applications for readers are numerous, from the
business environment to romantic relationships. After reading The Dictionary
of Body Language, you’ll have a new ability to read other people’s true
intentions, and to adjust your own body presentation so that you can convey the
right messages.
