Menschen lesen: Ein FBI-Agent erklärt, wie man Körpersprache entschlüsselt

Joe Navarro, a former FBI counterintelligence agent, teaches how to read nonverbal behaviour, concentrating on the body language that betrays discomfort or confidence. He explains that the limbic system, which controls reflexive reactions such as freezing, fleeing and fighting, produces signals that are harder to fake than words, and he works from the feet upwards, covering legs, torso, arms, hands, face and eyes. He also stresses the importance of establishing a baseline for each person and of looking for clusters of signs rather than single ones.

Useful for anyone who negotiates, interviews, sells or simply wants to be a more careful observer. You walk away with a checklist of cues, and a warning that no single gesture proves a lie.

Practical, growth-minded and clear-cut; an easy read.
