Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Yes, you can read anyone like a book!

Reading body language is a gateway to understanding why people act the way they do. It's not just a matter of understanding their true emotions, but also identifying their true motivation.

In The Art of Body Talk the authors share their highly successful READ (Review Evaluate Analyze Decide) system of understanding body language, but with an exciting twist: They give you the skills to use READ to see what's behind those eye movements, gestures, and twitches, the skills to go inside the head of your source! Why stop at "what" in reading body language? Go all the way to "why"--the driving force behind the actions. Discover how to get past your filters, so you aren't tricked by your own misperceptions. Learn how to apply the skills in business and in your personal life. The Art of Body Talk gives you the fastest, most efficient method to read anyone's body language. You will easily be able to perceive the emotions and spot the messages people are really sending--whether they know it or not (and whether they want to or not!).

Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-234) and index.
