The Definitive Book of Body Language: How to Read Others' Attitudes by Their Gestures

Excellent book on Body Language, the authors are very knowledgeable and they cover almost every situation where you can apply Body Language reading.

They give practical examples and very good tips on increasing your body language awareness.

The exercises in the last chapter of the book are awesome, the authors give you drawing interactions so you can decode the body language involved in the situation providing a good review and application of the knowledge on previous chapters that very few books have, and it goes even further and explains the situation so that you can re-think and re-calibrate your senses after doing the exercises.

Highly recommended, everyone should read this book.

I have been interested in the dynamics of body language for quite some time. I just wanted to know the basic stuff, basically, that would help me out with women and relationships. Well, this one does just that and so much more. I didn't even begin to understand how important this stuff is! I am very glad I got this book and will continue to draw from it for quite some time. I highly recommend it to anyone who is intersted in body langage, for whatever reason. I also liked How to Get a Girlfriend: Two Classic Dating Guides in One Volume-Understanding Women and How To Be The Man Women Want, as well.

This is pretty much boiler plate body language fair aimmed at aspiring corporate types, salesmen and the lovelorn. The authors are Austrailian where apparently all men wear suits and tie. There is nothing about dress codes and styles outside the work place. Nothing about tattoos or body piercing and nothing about subculture rituals and greetings, all of which I would have expected in a book that claimed to be "difinitive". Would probably have been pretty accurate for UK and US 30 years ago.
Sections it doesn't have:
Success at speed dating
How to convince the bouncer you are on the list

Book is very interesting somethings are logical, (which is good as it means I have noticed a lot) its a fun book with learning overtones.

Excellent book, have been doing a lot of "people watching" since I read this book
