About the Author

JOE NAVARRO has spent a lifetime observing others. For twenty-five years, as a Special Agent for the FBI, he conducted and supervised interrogations of spies and other dangerous criminals, mastering the art of nonverbal communication. After retiring from the Bureau, he became a sought-after public speaker and consultant, and wrote the groundbreaking bestseller What Every BODY Is Saying. Now, Navarro returns with his most ambitious work yet. The Dictionary of Body Language is a pioneering field guide to nonverbal communication, revealing the more than four hundred behaviors that will allow you to gauge anyone’s true intentions. Moving from the head down to the feet, Navarro shows the hidden meanings behind the many conscious and subconscious things we do. Readers will learn how to tell a person’s feelings from subtle changes in their pupils; the lip behaviors that may betray concerns; the many different varieties of arm posturing, and what each one means; and many other fascinating insights. Readers will turn again and again to The Dictionary of Body Language—a bible for understanding what your boss really means, whether a potential romantic partner is interested or not, and how to put yourself forward in the most favorable light.
