"The ultimate body language reference. I'll be both referring to and recommending this book on a daily basis for many years to come." --Amy Cuddy From the world's #1 body language expert* comes the essential book for decoding human behavior. Joe Navarro has spent a lifetime observing others. For 25 years, as a Special Agent for the FBI, he conducted and supervised interrogations of spies and other dangerous criminals, honing his mastery of nonverbal communication. After retiring from the bureau, he has become a sought-after public speaker and consultant, and an internationally bestselling author. Now, a decade after his groundbreaking book What Every BODY is Saying , Navarro returns with his most ambitious work yet. The Dictionary of Body Language is a pioneering "field guide" to nonverbal communication, describing and explaining the more than 400 behaviors that will allow you to gauge anyone's true intentions. Moving from the head down to the feet, Navarro reveals the hidden meanings behind the many conscious and subconscious things we do. Readers will learn: how to tell a person's actual feelings from subtle changes in their pupils;the lip behaviors that betray concerns or hidden information;the many different varieties of arm posturing, and what each one means;how the position of our thumbs when we stand akimbo reflects our mental state;..and many other fascinating insights to help you both read others and change their perceptions of you Readers will turn to The Dictionary Body Language again and again--a body language bible for anyone looking to understand what their boss really means, interpret whether a potential romantic partner is interested or not, and learn how to put themselves forward in the most favorable light. *GlobalGurus.org Review: Good to know - Fascinating and good to know about people.

The items are quick to find and easy to understand - each point is fully explained, so you learn the physiological reasons a certain behaviour occurs as well as what it means. It makes a perfect companion for the author's other books on body language - I use it as a reference to bolster the theory I learned in books like "What Every BODY is saying". If you know the theory behind understanding body language, I highly recommend this book as a reference guide. If you're new to body language, I recommend you also buy "What Every BODY is saying" (by the same author), as it covers theory which is a vital step in decoding body language and understanding what behaviours mean.

Good
Good but I would say you need to know a lot of big words but you can understand it if you know the basics.

A good overview of body language
An interesting book. As it says it’s a dictionary of body language and as such covers all parts of the face and body.

I have read better books on the subject
This book is not really what I was looking for. It gives a snapshot of various behaviours but doesn't go into any depth at all. The

Interesting Read
I really liked this book as it's very unique. Straight to the point and always leaves you wanting to read the next section.

Very interesting
Fascinating little book describing a vast assortment of things that can be unconsciously communicated through our movements and expressions. Based on Western world people behaviour (concretely US citizens), but it includes some interesting notes about certain variations in other cultures. Besides, much of it refers to automatic responses, which tend to be universal.

Bellissimoooo!!!
Ho scoperto l’autore in un video YouTube in cui dimostrava con diverse diapositive l’importanza del linguaggio non verbale all’interno delle relazioni umane! Il libro è quasi un manuale da poter consultare sporadicamente, la divisione per argomenti è intelligente iniziando da subito con la testa e i diversi movimenti/micro espressioni/gesticolazioni che la coinvolgono, dando per ogni comportamento una breve spiegazione; descrive così diverse parti del corpo. Davvero davvero interessante, è da tempo che cercavo un libro di questo tipo! Naturalmente lui è il primo a sfatare il mito che sia sufficiente un comportamento per dedurre cosa pensa quella persona! Siamo esseri complessi e come tali lo sono anche i nostri comportamenti e i significati che si celano dietro di essi! Consigliato tantissimo!

Really great
All perfect, it came in an untouched state, corners and the spine in an excellent condition, front and back don't have a single scratch too. The contents of the book itself are really useful and interesting. Great read.
