Become a master of reading people's body language and optimizing your own body language for your benefit.
According to different studies, 93 percent of all human communication is non-verbal, with body language accounting for 55% and tone of voice accounting for 38%.
Where does this leave verbal communication? It means only 7% of our communication is verbal
So no matter how much you might master verbal communication, including knowing how to use the right words and such, you will still have a long way to go as far as mastering human interaction.
Think about it, after becoming a master of what to say, when and where, you could ruin everything through a single innocent gesture, posture and expression, which sends the wrong message. For example, while a smile is generally seen as something welcoming, subtly crooking one corner of your mouth a little higher could project a message that you view yourself as superior to the other person, ultimately putting off the other person. You really don't want that to happen.
Lucky for you, this body language book will take the guesswork out of the whole process of interacting with people. The book analyzes all the unspoken signals, which make or break communication including:
- Postures and gestures that portray confidence and help build rapport and trust, as well as those postures and gestures that portray aggression, arrogance or disinterest so that you can avoid them
- Fleeting micro expressions and facial expressions to negative and positive body language
By reading this book, you will learn how to stop habits that put people off and accentuate goods habits, which will ultimately help you to become a more effective and authentic communicator.
Why is this important, you may ask?
Well, by exhibiting body language that is authentic, honest, open, confident and self-assured, you enhance your social influence and effectively improve your negotiation skills while being capable of reading intentions and emotions of others.
Whether you are closing a deal, pitching a project, interacting with your romantic partner, your boss or a stranger or making a presentation, the teachings in this book will go a long way towards ensuring you 'hack' your interpersonal relationships like a pro.
