The Dictionary of Body Language

From former FBI agent and bestselling author Joe Navarro comes a field guide companion to his classic What Every BODY is Saying, revealing over 400 essential body language indicators.

A decade after his international bestseller What Every BODY is Saying, which has sold more than half a million copies in the U.S. and been published in dozens of foreign territories, retired FBI agent Joe Navarro offers its follow-up. The Dictionary of Body Language is a companion “field guide” to What Every BODY is Saying, expanding the original work with hundreds of additional behaviours, presented in an easy-to-reference format.

Moving from the head down to the feet, Navarro explains the hidden meanings behind the many conscious and subconscious actions we perform with our bodies. Learn how to tell a person’s true feelings from the movement and dilation of their pupils; what to watch for in the lips of someone who may be afraid or lying; the numerous varieties of arm-crossing and what each signifies; how the position of our thumbs when standing akimbo reflects mental state; and many other intriguing insights. These applications are valuable for readers, from business environments to romantic relationships.

After reading The Dictionary of Body Language, you will gain a new ability to interpret others' true intentions and adjust your own body presentation to convey the right messages.
