The latest research and opinions on nonverbal communicationNovember 17, 2008 The latest research and opinions on nonverbal communication skills are examined in a fine survey for coaches, business leaders and workers alike, with chapters telling how to understand and speak body language to take advantage of workplace atmosphere. Chapters offer analysis of this language, and use black and white photos to analyze and provide examples of common body language.

a nonviewer's quick viewOctober 21, 2008 I don't usually review books very often but this is undoubtly the best book on body language that I have read. I usually feel that it is a waste of my time to read this type of book. It is one of those nothing new, I have read it all before type feelings. This book was different. It was clear, included more body language and exceptions. Very interesting and entertaining with the photos and cartoons. A guick read and you actually learn things to watch for and try, including your own bad body language.
The key to understanding body languageOctober 13, 2008 The Nonverbal Advantage is one of the best books I have read on understanding body language and explaining how to use it in the real world. The book is accurate, concise and provides a guide that will work for the professional and the student.
This book is a great addition to the working library of any Project Manager, Manager and any professional who needs to work with people.
Readable, if stating the obviousSeptember 9, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Well worth the time to read. Pictures were helpful, but the most useful were the exercises that were interspersed throughout the book. My guess is that most people are unconsciously competent in the reading of nonverbal expressions. This book helps you get to "back" to a conscious competent and then to use the experience to read others.
A "Decoder Ring" for Personal InteractionsJuly 15, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Clearly one of the most important works I've read in recent memory. With personal interactions giving way to increasingly high tech "touch points" (email, telephone conferences, IM/text messaging, blogs, wikis, social networks, etc.) I fear we might be losing an innate ability to communicate on a deep, personal level.
"The Nonverbal Advantage" makes up for this shortcoming with powerful, easy to understand techniques anyone can quickly master to enhance their personal and professional communications.
