PDF / EPUB File Name: the_dictionary_of_body_language_-_Joe_Navarro.pdf, the_dictionary_of_body_language_-_Joe_Navarro.epub 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. To top that off, when talking about certain actions, the author tries to explain them in detail but fails miserably. Surely there must have been someone in the editorial process that suggested adding a few images to help make it clearer. After reading the author's "What every body is saying" I really started taking notice in body language, and that book was a very good introduction to the field for me.

Moving from the head down to the feet, Navarro shows the hidden meanings behind what we do. Readers will learn how to tell a person’s feelings from changes in their pupils; the lip behaviors that may betray concerns; the different varieties of arm posturing, and what each one means; and many other fascinating insights.

A könyv nem csak a téma miatt tetszett, hanem azért is, mert Navarro eloszlat olyan tévhiteket, mint pédául hogy a félrenézés a csalás vagy a hazugság jele, amik annyira bevették magukat a közhiedelembe is, hogy én például akarva-akaratlanul próbálok ügyelni, hogy ne nézzek oldalra, holott ez csupán annak a leképezése, hogy a beszélő próbálja összeszedni a gondolatait (főleg mondjuk egy stresszes szituációban, mint egy állásinterjú vagy egy vizsga). This book piqued my interest after I watched an episode of Wired on YouTube, featuring the writer, Joe Navarro's. He's a retired FBI agent, and his explanation about body language makes it seem really intriguing.
