'This book provides an essential guide to unspoken messages in the workplace - it will help you to understand what other people are saying, even if they don't know it, and what impact your own behaviour can have on your boss, colleagues and clients.' - Dr Peter Collett, Author of The Book of Tells 'A compulsory read for all CEOs' directors and aspiring leaders, a book I will certainly be sending to a number of my clients. Also a perfect book for self improvement in today's challenging environment and essential reference material for any CEO's library. This is another illuminating and essential book from Adrian Furnham. The right book at the right time.' - Dr. Tony Miller, International Management Performance Specialist 'The definitive guide to body language - While many books make claims about body language that can't be substantiated, this book tells us about the real science behind body language. An essential book if you want to be able to read people better and understand how you come across too.' - Dr Rob Yeung, psychologist and author of Confidence: The Art of Getting Whatever You Want 'An excellent contemporary, well referenced, text on a classic topic in applied psychology. Given the tendency for meeting rooms to be glass walled in new build, this guide will even be useful to those not around - the table. Accessible to non-specialists and specialists alike.' Dr. Jeannete Garwood, School of Social Sciences, Leeds Metropolitan University< 'Body language is one of those subjects that we all think we are expert on but in reality our intuitions are often wrong. This book is about the science of body language and tells you the facts in a clear and straightforward way. It is an indispensable guide to those who want to make it big in business.' - Professor Chris J Jackson, School of Organisation and Management, Australian School of Business, UNSW 'Body Language in Business is highly entertaining and written in readable manner. This is a must read for those wanting to succeed in business.' - David Lester Ph.D, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, USAMore details
