Read the Signals. the Body Language Handbook

by Ali Cronin

What people 'say' with their bodies is just as important as what they say with their words. Humans communicate nonverbally through hundreds of gestures and movements; how we stand, position our arms, or use facial expressions all reveal our thought or intentions. Come inside Read the Signals. The Body Language Handbook to learn how you can read others' body language, and how to send the right signals with your own.

About the author

Hello. I write YA / NA novels, I’m tall, and my hair is now shorter and redder than in this pic. Other than that, we’re good.

My books have been translated into several languages and have reached the top 10 of both the Amazon and iBooks charts. My LinkedIn page has more CV stuff, plus editorial endorsements.

My favourite food is Thai curry with coconut rice and Christmas cake, tho’ not at the same time HAHA.
I love a stud, of the metal-on-clothes-and-shoes variety. I don’t like studly men. They’re weird and serious. I like silly men, who are weird and lovely.

If I could have anyone over for tea, it’d be Vanessa Bell (for talking about sex in posh accents), Diana Athill (ditto, plus books), Mary Wesley (ditto again, plus the war), Lee Mack (he funny) and Don Draper (he sexy. And, yes, a bit studly. But he’s from the ‘60s so it’s OK).

As part of a group of books on body language I checked out from a library this was one of them. It was in the adult section, but it's clearly written more for teens, which I am way past. Still, it had some good information if only reiterating what I learned elsewhere.

The first chapter does indeed inform the reader about body language but most of the rest of the book simply gives hints on social etiquette. The social advice is solid and preteens would probably find it helpful, but this book only gives minimal information on body language.

everything I already knew...a few different facts but nothing new
