The Definitive Book of Body Language

The definitive book of body language by Allan and Barbara Pease is a crisp and apt book for first readers of the topic. It is a 'definitive' book meaning it clearly identifies body language cues and suggest possible interpretations for the same. It is an easy to understand book as it has illustrations and examples to elaborate most points. It aids in making positive use of body language in ones life to make for better communication and it also helps in identifying body language cues on others to help understand 'what is not said.' The book also has chapters on office power dynamics and has basic instructions on office setting and seating power plays. The book, however, is very simple for someone who is well versed with the topic.Amazon first started in the US selling books online. Hence, prices on books are best on Amazon. I don't even bother looking for other options anymore.Overall it is a great book, one I'd recommend to a beginner to the topic.Book Review: 8/10Price Value: 10/10-soothsayer

I was casually going through this book in a store and immediately found it interesting. Many of the gestures and body movements I do were mentioned here and their "hidden meaning".it is a good fun read and if you implement what is suggested in the book.. well you would be a "people reader". :)Fun aside it is a different kind of book and the authors insight into our body language is truly inspiring and appreciable.

I have to say that this is the amongst top of all the book I have read yet on personal development and body language.

Very good

It is a excellent book and I have received the book in excellent condition

3 star bcz this book is not 11 inch long

Contains a lot of information needed for navigating my work snd learning peoples body languages and what they mean. An eye opener!

Great Book. Understand what they may be saying without opening their mouths.

This book gives an overview of reading nonverbal cues that people give and receive. Learning to interpret clusters of signals can improve social interaction in both business and personal lives.I found this book to be extremely informative and easy to read. It draws on both academic research in psychology and other social sciences as well as the authors’ lifelong careers as business consultants. I learned a lot but not as much as I thought I did based on the scenarios illustrated at the end and the answers provided. Will have to use this book as a general reference and refer back to it in the future.Looking at nonverbal cues has given me a different perspective for looking back on meetings (one on one and group) I’ve had at work and in social situations. Some of the info is a bit outdated - particularly the signals used when smoking at work, which has been a no-no in the US for awhile now. So the book has been useful to me and worth the price.This book may be of interest to anyone in a role working with lots of people, decision makers, and in situations involving negotiation of some sort.One section handles the cues given off by office furniture arrangement. I wish the authors discussed how to better arrange a cubicle which doesn’t have the luxury of space or the option to set how visible it’s occupant is, or it’s location relative to other colleagues/roles.The next thing I need to know is how to read all these cues through videoconferencing, where there are sometimes lags or low resolution or imperfect camera angles and such!

It is a great read

When I read it, I though it should be recommended for university studies on psychiatry, psychology and criminology, to say the least. it is the hidden face of protocol and truly fascinating information.
