The ultimate body language reference. I’ll be both referring to and recommending this book on a daily basis for many years to come.” —Amy Cuddy Book Genre: Business, Communication, Nonfiction, Personal Development, Psychology, Science, Self Help Basic and Applied Social Psychology: "The Effects of Overt Head Movements on Persuasion: Compatibility and Incompatibility of Responses." Body language is one example of nonverbal communication. The term “ nonverbal communication” refers to any form of communication other than writing or speaking. Sometimes, the information you convey with your body has to speak for you. Often, it says more than the words you speak. The only good parts of this book are the introductory paragraphs at the start of every chapter, too bad they only consist like five percent of the book. Given the author's life experience I was expecting a much more in-depth analysis of various non-verbal communications. What we are left with is the author simply laying out various actions and summing them up as being caused by stress 90 percent of the time.

As a writer I'm finding this book helpful in the art of showing vs. telling when it comes to the wide array of emotions of "body language".Absolutely dreadful. This book is only useful to someone who has no ability to recognize social cues whatsoever. Most of the information provided is simply common sense.
