Increasingly disappearing lips indicate stress or disagreement especially so when the corners point downwards As everyone, I've heard bits and pieces about body language and its importance, especially when you are trying to impress, convince, get a job and what not. But this is the first book I ever read on the topic, and I'm glad I happened on Joe Navarro's "What Every Body is Saying" to introduce me to the fascinating world of body language.

Hands interlaced behind the head means I'm in charge and is also indicative of confidence or dominance Joe Navarro, der 25 Jahre für das FBI gearbeitet hat, geht in seinem Buch “Menschen lesen” auf die Bedeutung der Körpersprache ein und folgt dabei einer klaren Struktur. Eyes and eyebrows may slightly open or raise on the appearance of someone we like whereas they may slightly narrow for someone we dislike So basically what he's saying is that there is no way to pleasing everybody (DUH!), that he has no answer to how dress to "correctly" appeal to people in certain situations.

Die Schilderungen der einzelnen Verhaltensweisen werden in dem Buch nicht nur “stumpf” heruntergeschrieben, sondern anschaulich erklärt; Mimik und Gestik werden durch kleine Bilder verdeutlicht. Auch bringt Joe Navarro Berufserfahrungen und Beobachtungen aus dem Alltag in Form von kleinen Geschichten mit ein, in denen er die zuvor beschriebene Verhaltensweise in einer realen Situation schildert. Teilweise sind diese aber etwas unschön platziert, wodurch der Lesefluss unterbrochen wird; insgesamt sind sie aber eine Bereicherung für das Buch. Dilated pupils are associated with positive emotions and surprise whereas constricted pupils are usually associated with negative emotions as the eyes are trying to bring things into sharper focus because of a perceived danger or unpleasantness However, pointing and snapping fingers are aggressive, domineering behaviours and it's better to gesticulate using an open palm Read this book and send your nonverbal intelligence soaring. Joe Navarro, a former FBI counterintelligence officer and a recognized expert on nonverbal behavior, explains how to "speed-read" people: decode sentiments and behaviors, avoid hidden pitfalls, and look for deceptive behaviors. You'll also learn how your body language can influence what your boss, family, friends, and strangers think of you. You will discover: Hands up when making statements mean, 'please, I beg you to believe me' whereas hands down is a much more assertive behaviour. People telling the truth have no need to beg.As somebody who devoted his life to parsing our non-verbal cues, Joe Navarro does know what he is talking about. There is nothing simplistic about his approach. I loved how he repeatedly warned that what can be gleaned from non-verbal cues with great degree of certainty and precision is the level of a person's stress and discomfort, or happiness and comfort, as well as the changes in these conditions -- not the level of truthfulness, which no expert can ascertain with more than fifty percent certainty based solely on body language. The non-verbal cues are important hints that should be analyzed in wider context. They could turn out to be very valuable, but should not be perceived as magic or as a perfect polygraph. When trying to understand nonverbal behavior in real-life situations, the more you understand the context in which it takes place, the better you will be at understanding what it means."

In den ersten beiden Kapiteln werden die “Geheimnisse der nonverbalen Kommunikation” und die Bedeutung des limbische Gehirns dargestellt. Anschließend werden in den folgenden Kapiteln die Bedeutung der Körpersprache, beginnend von den Füßen, dem “ehrlichsten Körperteil”, bis hin zum Kopf, dem “unehrlichsten Körperteil”, erläutert. J. Navarro's observations are good and on point, but they are basic. This book should've been called "Body Language For Dummies" Navarro, Joe (2010) Louder Than Words: Take Your Career from Average to Exceptional with the Hidden Power of Nonverbal Intelligence. HarperCollins, Pub. ISBN 978-0-06-177139-2. Crossed legs is a sign of comfort and confidence and may point in the direction of the person most favoured. Crossing away, forming a barrier with the upper leg, is a negative behaviour whereas crossing towards, pointing to the other person with the upper knee, is a positive signColdness and hugging of pillows when others feel normal temperature can be a sign of stress or discomfort Funny thing: as I was writing this review, I had the book beside my Mac, for quotes, and noticed one funny thing about the book cover. In the book the author says that crossing the legs indicates that person is comfortable with the one s/he talking with (spread legs indicates dominance, who wants that?), that crossing legs in a relaxed manner indicates comfort. But, if you put your ankle on your knee, it says that you are trying to create a barrier between you and a person you're talking to/with. Shaking hands can indicate both joy and stress and can also result from Parkinson's, injuries and alcoholism so this sign needs to be understood in context Navarro, Joe (2005) Hunting Terrorists: A Look at The Psychopathology of Terror.

Closeness of hands and arms when sitting face to face with someone indicates comfort and confidence and vice-versa Navarro, Joe (2018) The Dictionary of Body Language: A Field Guide to Human Behavior. William Morrow. ISBN 978-0062846877The narration by Paul Costanzo is equally accurate and clear as the text. But neither does it excite. The truth is that identifying deceit is so difficult that repeated studies begun in the 1980s show that most of us--including judges, attorneys, clinicians, police officers, FBI agents, politicians, teachers, mothers, fathers and spouses--are not better than chance (fifty-fifty) when it comes to detecting deception. Even those who are truly gifted at detecting deception (probably less than 1 percent of the general population) seldom are right more than 60 percent of the time. Consider the countless jurors who must determine honesty or dishonesty, guilt or innocence, based on what they think are deceptive behaviors. Unfortunately, those behaviors most often mistaken for dishonesty are primarily manifestations of stress, not deception. That's why I live by the motto taught to me by those who know that there is no single behavior that is indicative of deception--not one.
