We can easily be misled by words but not by body language. Words are relatively easy to control, while body language, facial expressions and voice characteristics are not. By paying attention to these nonverbal cues, we can detect deception or affirm a speaker’s honesty. If we can read other people’s nonverbal messages correctly, we can interpret their underlying attitudes and intentions and respond appropriately. Body language has been gaining importance rapidly in various walks of life. It is pursued as an art of living in today’s societal conscious world. The body language of an individual is influenced not only by his inner personality and behavior, but also by his culture, religion, and nationality. The book sets out to explain what is known from research findings about the skills and techniques of body language. It examines how this knowledge is applied at workplaces and how it can be applied in a variety of contexts and that too for better effect. The book is designed to be a handbook for people who want to recuperate their overall personality with an emphasis on nonverbal communication. The degree of desire we have for self improvement is what determines our success or failure in life. The determination to be achievers in our life definitely calls for effective speaking on the one hand and powerful use of body language on the other.
