Abstract

The astounding percentage of body language communication makes it essential that we learn not only how to read body language, but also learn how to communicate effectively by conveying non-verbal cues.

In this book, we'll cover:

• The Basics of Body Language

• The Eight Absolute Truths of Body Language

• The Handshake: Make a Lasting Impression

• Moving on Up: How to Make Body Language Work for You in the Workplace

• Body Language Tips for Public Speaking

• How Body Language Affects Personal Relationships

Body language represents an important part of communication and sadly, the one form of communication that very few people understand. The axiom "Actions speak louder than words" applies to overt actions. However, the same axiom applies to more subtle body language. In essence, body language tells us more about a person that the words spoken by that person.

Think about friendships and long term romantic relationships. We spend more time trying to figure out how a friend or lover feels, when the answers clearly manifest in body language. Body language expresses our feelings and savvy body language readers push through spoken words to uncover true feelings. Have you ever told your boss you're willing to do something, but your body language conveys an exact opposite sentiment? Understanding how to read body language should sit at the top of every must have leadership trait list.

Body language influences friendships, as non-verbal cues indicate whether a person appears to be paying attention to a conversation or literally paying only lip service to spoken words. Eye contact represents another pivotal non-verbal cue that signals the strength of a friendship. Evasive eyes signal that you don't care what the other person has to say, and that you're simply waiting for your turn to speak.
