Body Language: Understanding Manipulation, Flirtation, and Negotiation

By John Adamssen

This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles:



Book 1: What is the psychology behind body language?


What can we learn from what people aren’t saying?


These are common questions. But although they are often asked, they aren’t always clearly answered. Today, this book can change all that. It can give you precise guidelines on how to read people’s signs and nonverbal cues.


We will also discuss how most of the communication has some kind of root in our cultures, and how we can apply them in practical situations, whether it concerns flirting, job interviews, or other.


On top of all this, one chapter is solely devoted to making eye contact, and all the effects of that.


All of these topics are included. It’s time to become more educated about them.



Book 2: This book focuses on three important aspects of body language: Leadership, reading hints, and making eye contact.


It sounds so simple, but these are three of the most important factors in conversations between two people, or in a group, and they define who we are, what message we convey, and how to interpret those messages every day.


What is a person thinking when he or she raises their eyebrows, lets shoulders slump, or crosses their arms? What does eye contact signify in different situations?


Learn more. Find out what we are saying when we are not saying anything.

Chapter 1: The Basics of Nonverbal Communication or Body Language

Nonverbal communication has always fascinated humans. We have always wanted to comprehend the message behind the words; we have always wanted to know what people truly mean by a glance, a blush or a gesture.

Now we have realized not only that we can use body language to interpret other people's actions, but that we can also use it to give ourselves increased effectiveness in life. Now body language can actually help us prosper in life, as well as at the work floor and in our love lives.

Humans have probably always understood intuitively that our non-verbal communication is just as crucial as our verbal communication. How many of us were told when young to 'stand straight since our caretakers realized that would make us look more smart, appealing or impressive. Now research has shown that if we alter the way we present ourselves to the world-with friends, at work and in love we stand a much greater chance of success.

Chapter 2: The Psychology of It

The studying of body language-the art of non-verbal communication-- is potentially the most exciting and helpful development in personal psychology today. It adds an entire new dimension to what you can comprehend about people and an entire new set of possibilities regarding what you can achieve in the world.

Human beings use many different channels of communication. Yet, in spite of thousands of years of human development, we have concerned only the verbal channels as essential-- what we say and what we write. It's only throughout the last forty years or so that we've realized that there's an entire channel-- non-verbal communication that is just as essential as words, because it gives us just as much, if not more, info about what people are thinking and feeling. Some estimates indicate that up to 93 percent of the information we receive about any situation comes non-verbally rather than verbally. So, when you chat with a friend, ask your boss for a raise or set out to seduce, what you do might be up to thirteen times as information-packed as what you say.

Mind-reading

Body language not only gives you additional info about other individuals and about yourself, it also gives you different info While people's words tell you only what they consciously want you to know, their body language tells you an entire range of other things, much of which they might not know they're revealing, or even understand themselves. Many people's standard personality, the role they're playing the feelings they feel, the direction of their ideas, their relationships with others-- not to mention what they truly think of you-body language communicates everything. And while individuals' words can hide a wide range of secrets, their nonverbal communication is far more difficult to fake.

Similarly, obviously, your own nonverbal communication will whether you like it or not-transmit info about yourself to others. And studies have revealed that what you 'say' non-verbally is often much more influential than what you say verbally, not only as it bypasses the mindful mind of a listener and speaks directly to her or his subconscious, but also because people quite appropriately trust non-verbal messages more than they trust words. The bad news is that your nonverbal communication is making statements about you all of the time, and some of these may be things you are trying to hide. The good thing is that properly and genuinely used, body language can specify what you couldn't potentially say out loud, in a way that really reaches other people. I'm competent ... I really need your support ...! like you. I really love you.'

Nonverbal communication isn't just about communication, though. What psychologists have realized over the past decade is that if you change your body language, you can actually change all kinds of things about your technique to life. You can, for instance, alter your mood before going to a celebration, produce a better feeling towards your partner or feel more confident at work. And, obviously, if your nonverbal communication truly moves, and you communicate in a different way with people around you, then they in turn will respond differently to you-so that the way you predict yourself to others will be shown back to you, in a neat circular process.
