Summary

Imagine meeting someone for the first time and within minutes-without a word being said-having the ability to tell what that person is thinking. Magic? Not quite. Whether people are aware of it or not, their body movements clearly express their attitudes and motives. These simple gestures, which most of us don't even notice, can communicate key information that is invaluable in a range of situations.
