Description
These are handy, accessible books that provide literally all the information you need to know to gain a new hobby or understand a difficult topic. It's believed that over 50 per cent of human communication is lost without body language. However, this book is your ticket to understanding people, whether at home, work or even on a date! It includes everything from how to detect a liar, display self-confidence, identify hostile or aggressive behaviour and even digital and online body language. Is my boyfriend telling me the truth about where he was last night? How can I show my boss that I'm ready for a promotion? Let the body language experts show you how.
