Body Language by Joe

Much of the material Amy shared in the Body Language portion of the workshop was adapted from the terrific new book "What Every Body Is Saying" by Joe Navarro, an ex-FBI agent and body language expert.

Here he talks about signs of discomfort, especially those people show facially:



My favorite part is at the end where he discusses how people in a discussion use body language to demonstrate whether or not you are welcome to join the conversation. Most of us have probably experienced this and understood the message being conveyed, even without realizing exactly what on someone's body was telling us "hey, get lost!"

I (Jennie) really enjoyed Joe Navarro's book. They aren't all so well written or as backed up by research, so definitely recommended.
