Reading the signals of body language

Joe Navarro’s guide organizes nonverbal behavior around signals from across the body, including thumbs, feet, eyelids, and facial expressions. Drawing on his professional experience, he discusses how the book interprets these cues as indicators of mood, motive, confidence, and sentiment, and why it cautions against relying on the face alone. The scope also turns inward: Navarro considers how a person’s own body language may shape impressions of trust and authority in everyday interactions with colleagues, family, friends, and strangers. Deception, interpersonal understanding, and the practical reading of social cues form the book’s central concerns.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in nonverbal communication and interpreting body language
  • Readers seeking a guide to social cues in work, family, and everyday interactions
  • Those curious about how posture and gestures affect impressions of trust and authority
