Ever wanted to know what people in your office do not want you to know? If the answer is yes, this is a great starter book. In this book Furnham dispels the claims and common misconceptions surrounding body talk to reveal the true significance of this fascinating and powerful form of communication. The book demonstrates that you do not need to read someone’s mind in order to know what they will not say, no magical powers necessary, the only tool necessary is the psychological knowledge revealed in this book. It covers how we betray attitudes, emotions and personality in non-verbal ways, including eye gaze, facial expression, gesture, posture, touch; and what our clothes and jewellery say about us. Whether you are detecting the interview phoney or the serial liar of the office, this book will provide you with the key to unlock this secret language.
