Body Language (Collins Need to Know?)This one-stop practical guide will show you how to understand what other people are really feeling – even before they do! To make your progress easier, it comes in a handy format with colour photos and expert advice throughout. If you cross your legs are you relaxed or tense? What does it mean if you stroke your chin? Do you know the meaning behind a friend lowering their eyebrows? Would you know how to greet an inhabitant of Greenland? How would you subliminally show ownership of your brand-new car or house? This book will answer all these questions and more. It’s fully illustrated with colour photographs which show hundreds of gestures, postures and ‘attitudes’. |
