We express so much more subconsciously through our physical behavior, body posture, gestures, eye movement, facial expressions, touch and the use of space. So why not learn how to use this to your advantage? Or just take time to read about because it is very interesting. Successful people utilize their nonverbal cues to get what they want depending on the given circumstances. Understanding the body language comes easy to some, while others can't figure it out.

Loaded with practical tips, this book covers everything you ever need to know about body language, in a variety of business situations.

      ––––––––

      Body language is a universal language. Almost all of us use body signs for non-verbal communication with others. The ability to understand body language is perhaps one of the most valuable tools you can possess in understanding others. When you understand what’s really being communicated to you, it takes the conversation to a whole new level. You’re able to make people feel at ease. You’re easily able to establish a deep sense of rapport. You also become likeable. All of these things are extremely useful to you because ultimately people like giving their love, support, business what’ve you to people that they like.

      The bottom line: The more you understand another persons thoughts, feelings, needs, the more you can actually relay back to them what they need to get from you. The more you’re able to relate to them, the more likeable you become. The more likeable you become, the more you’re able to get what you want.

      Understanding body language isn’t really difficult once you know the basics. It’s sort of like learning a new language though, in that you’re learning what different gestures & expression mean.

      Understanding body language is used in a lot of different professions. Usually, police officers are given some training in understanding body language as it’s useful when interrogating a suspect or while talking to a witness. By using the other person’s body language, the officer can also easily determine whether the person is telling the truth.

      Understanding body language is also quite essential when it comes to the education profession. Especially with children, it’s vital for teacher to have an understanding of body language. Usually, kids aren’t fully capable of expressing their feelings using their vocabulary. Therefore, educators should’ve a basic understanding of body language in order to fully grasp what their students are trying to communicate.

      When it comes to giving commands or even conveying messages, understanding body language plays a key role. If the people with whom you work or even interact with also have an understanding of body language, then it’s quite easy for you to communicate with them. Additionally, the right combination of body language & verbal communication can also produce more effective communication.

      Understanding body language usually helps a person to easily portray her or his personality. There may be people you know of in your life that you’ve perhaps never actually had a conversation with, but you still can get a vague idea of how they actually operate based on watching their nonverbal expression. This’s that energy vibration you pick up on, when you know someone’s in a bad mood or a good mood. You feel it somehow without them saying a word.

      But, it’s also due to the very fact that your subconscious mind already understands & interprets body language. & your subconscious mind sends you that information it knows through your feelings you get about another person. You also don’t’ necessarily know on a conscious level why you actually feel the way you about them, but you know, there’s just something about them that you either want to experience more of or perhaps something that you want to avoid being around.

      This book contains proven steps & strategies on how to interpret & use body language to communicate without relying solely on verbal & vocal cues.

      You’ll learn about tips & techniques to better understand how other people are really feeling on top of what they’re saying. There’re also tricks to help you control how others perceive you to your advantage.

      Actually, experts also have different views about body language. According to the evolutionary theory of Darwin, a person can inherit his facial expression. However, there’re those scholars who believe that culture also influences a person’s interpretation of facial expression.

      There’re two main models, or views, used in order to understand the how body language works, as referred to by José Soto & Robert Levenson (2009).

      The Cultural Equivalence Model suggests that a person can also accurately understand the emotions of other people & even animals. It basically implies that body language is a product of evolution, & therefore, humans understand the emotions being carried by certain gestures or facial expressions even if non-humans display them. According to the evolutionary theory of Darwin (1872), animals & human beings share the same postural expressions of fear, happiness & anger. As such, a person can relay emotional signals naturally to other people. In a 1971 experiment of Ekman & Friesen, it was also discovered that tribe members in Papua New Guinea could recognize facial expressions of Americans even if these tribesmen had just no exposure to US media.

      The key implication of the Cultural Equivalence Model is that the understanding of body language is natural because animal species collectively evolved to obtain body language to express similar purposes. Additionally, since animals also developed body language through evolution, body language in itself is very essential to the survival of humanity. It also contributed to developing the communication between individuals. Therefore, body language is helpful in building communities. A final implication is that, for humanity, race doesn’t matter when it comes to interpreting body language. Regardless of culture, we’ve evolutionarily similar body language.

      The Cultural Equivalence Model can also be used to explain why humans can attribute certain actions of pets such as cats or dogs as happy or angry even if we don’t understand the language of these animals. The Cultural Equivalence Model simply explains why smiling can be found across all races of humanity, even in primates & other animals. In this point of view, we also understand the emotions carried by certain gestures because we developed them to help us survive better as a species.

      The Cultural Advantage Model predicts that a person can actually interpret the body language efficiently & accurately of another individual if both belong to the same race. According to O’Toole, Peterson & Deffen-bacher (1996), individuals are more accurate in interpreting body language from faces of people of their same race. Also more importantly, if a person feels that they belong in a certain group regardless of race, it’s found that they’re better in recognizing emotions expressed by members of that group (Thibault et al., 2006). This model, unlike the Cultural Equivalence Model, simply refers to recognition of body language as a group phenomenon instead of as a species-wide evolutionary advantage.

      In general, the Cultural Equivalence Model couldn’t take into account the effect of race or communities. Gestures under this model refer to the very basic ones that’re shared by almost all people. More specific actions are also described by the Cultural Advantage Model.

      Although there’re different researches that support both models, the consensus is that there’re universally recognized emotions like sadness, disgust, contempt, anger, fear, surprise & happiness. In addition, some recent findings show that shame & pride are also universal.

      Applications of Body Language

      In essence, body language is an aid in communication. There’re different guides & books that teach people about it & how they can benefit from it. The application of body language enhances second-language acquisition. It’s a substitute to verbal language if there’re individuals who’re not able to communicate verbally because of aphasia or deafness. Furthermore, the application of body language in the deceit detection process is done via micro-expressions in poker & law enforcement.

      Body language is crucial in learning another language successfully by achieving sociolinguistic, strategic & discourse competencies. Sociolinguistic competence means understanding the body language that helps in a specific language use. There’s a conscious ability to perform & recognize body language to achieve language fluency outside of the discourse level.

      Body language is also useful in actually enhancing teaching. It can urge, hint or guide a learner to the right answer. It’s most effective when paired with other verbal methodologies. The three characteristics of body language that actually help enhance teaching are suggestion, communication & intuition.

      The intuitive characteristic used in teaching also exemplifies the language by matching body language with individual words. For instance, a teacher can mimic a crying person to teach his student about the word cry. The communicative characteristic creates an atmosphere & environment that helps effective learning. By providing a holistic environment, a student quickly acquires new knowledge. Lastly, the suggestive characteristic creates opportunities for better understanding of a specific word or even concept by using body language.

      Body language is also useful in law enforcement. Law enforcers use it to search for
