Description

Quote:Julius Fast’s “Body Language” provides an excellent and reader-friendly overview of body language without going into too much detail. One of the basic “Must Reads” on this topic.Quote:I found the book useful because the author provided specific examples of how to read people in a variety of situations in business and other areas of your personal life. Much time is spent on ” space protection” and “territory”. The author explains classic behaviors when we “invade” another’s space. Behavioral manifestations involving unwelcomed space trespass are nervousness and simply walking away or fleeing temporarily. There is a part on “masks”; wherein , the author explains various contexts where we seek to hide our true feelings-although this aspect gets harder with advancing age. Even crossing legs can have meaning or it can be innocent depending upon the context. Overall, the author makes us mindful of many behaviors which can be interpreted variously in a variety of contexts both personal and business. These are considerations which we should keep in mind rather than ” hard and fast rules”. The book is valuable for the fine nuances it makes clear.These are some reviews I found on www.amazon.com . I think it is a great book. David DeAngelo recommends it in his “Boyd Language” Seminar.ENJOY !!
