Knowing the thoughts and feelings of other people isn't magic; it's science. It is a process of learning what gestures, posture, facial expressions and movements mean.  

This book outlines the process and gives you specific tools for "reading" people in business, social or personal contexts. And it also tells you how to send the right message yourself in various situations.   

Everyone sends nonverbal cues -  even if they don't realize they're doing it. This book explains how to take control of the cues.

This book covers nonverbal cues, from simple poker "tells" to complex cultural factors. Chapters include:

	Touch (how and when physical contact has significance - and why some people fear it)
	Facial Expressions (a detailed, scientific study of the face and how each is used)
	Gestures and Postures (common mannerism and how people use them - consciously or not)
	Verbal/Nonverbal Congruence (the main ways that people try to control their nonverbal cues)
	Cultural Influences (how the places and groups from which people come shape their cues)
	In Public Places (how people send different signs when they are in crowds or in private)
	The Things We Wear (how some people use clothes to say things that they can't, verbally)
	Sports (how the popularity of spectator sports says a  lot about individuals and groups)
