Product Description

A fascinating, highly illustrated guide to the secret language of body gestures and postures that reveals what we really think and mean. If you cross your legs are you relaxed or tense? What does it mean if you stroke your chin? Do you know the meaning behind a friend lowering their eyebrows? Would you know how to greet an inhabitant of Greenland? How would you subliminally show ownership of your brand-new car or house? All these questions and many more are answered in Collins Gem Body Language. Now fully illustrated with colour photographs of hundreds of gestures, postures and 'attitudes', this is the handiest visual analysis of body gestures and everyday scenarios available.

Review
'This little Gem is very easy to read. I was unable to put it down. It contains very concise information on Body Language. It covers most of the basics and principles of the study of body language and even contains certain information not found in much thicker publications. For anyone wishing to study human behaviour it is a great introduction'. Amazon If you want a book on what the position of the body means without going into detail about why, then go for it. It's easy to carry about and is interesting reading and having fun trying to read other people' Amazon

A Tiny Book With Big Information
A tiny pocket book packed with the basics of body language so that you can rush off to the toilet and look up what someone is "saying" to you. Joking apart,this is a very good introduction to the art of reading body language presented in logical sections. Well worth the money.

You get the idea of what its all about.
There are not a lot of books on this topic, so I do not really have much to judge this book off. Saying that, I do have two books on this, and this compliments the other. Though if you want a book on what the postion of the body means means without going into detail about why, then go for it. It’s easy to carry about and is interesting reading and having fun trying to read other people. Yet if you are looking for a more detailed book to tell you how the gesture came about, go for another.
