The complete guide to mastering the art of effective body
language
Body Language For Dummies is your ideal guide to
understanding other people, and helping them understand you. Body
language is a critical component of good communication, and often
conveys a bigger message than the words you say. This book teaches
you how to interpret what people really mean by observing
their posture, gestures, eye movements, and more, and holds up a
mirror to give you a clear idea of how you’re being interpreted
yourself. This updated third edition includes new coverage of
virtual meetings, multicultural outsourcing environments, devices,
and boardroom behaviours for women, as well as insight into Harvard
professor Amy Cuddy’s research into how body language affects
testosterone and cortisol, as published in the Harvard Business
Review..
Body language is a fascinating topic that reveals how the human
mind works. Image and presentation are crucial to successful
communication, both in business and in your personal life. This
book is your guide to decoding body language, and adjusting your
own habits to improve your interactions with others.
* Become a better communicator without saying a word
* Make a better first (and second, and third…) impression
* Learn what other people’s signals really mean
* Transform your personal and professional relationships
Realising what kind of impression you give is a valuable thing,
and learning how to make a more positive impact is an incredibly
useful skill. Whether you want to improve your prospects in job
seeking, dating, or climbing the corporate ladder, Body Language
For Dummies helps you translate the unspoken and get your
message across.
