Book Review - The Definitive Book of Body Language (Barbara & Allan Pease)

The Definitive Book of Body Language (Barbara & Allan Pease) is the first book I come across on Body Language. With the greater emphasis on people's skill, recognizing what your converstation partner is sending out would help you greatly in getting into someone's good books.

This is especially true for sales people. Would it not be great to know the current state of your clients and change your tactics accordingly so that you achieve your objective of clinching sales? Would it not be great to see if your boss is receptive to your idea by observing the signals that his body is sending out? Would it not be great if you know what mood your spouse is and act accordingly so as to avoid any tripwire.

Well this is a great book to start of with. It teaches us a lot of the body signals that are sent out but do note that you need to keep on practise and I would suggest from time to time, you browse through it and apply to your life as much as possible. Only then would you reap full benefit from the book.

I give it a 4 out of 5 stars for its great illustrations, explanations and also insights that it offers for beginners try to figure out the world of body language.
