Trang 7Understanding Your Body Language
While its important to be able to understand and read other people'sbody language, it can be just as important to understand your ownbody language Most people are unaware with the way they carrythemselves, which can make them seem cold or unapproachable.Body language plays a huge part in your overall perception fromother people People may perceive you as weak or lacking
confidence just by your overall body language Have you ever metsomebody and immediately didn’t like them, even before they said aword? Or how about the reverse You meet somebody and
immediately liked them and wanted to get to know them better?
Chances are that body language played a huge part in your initialassessment of that person Your body language could be hurting yourdating life as well Both men and women will judge one another inthe first 5 seconds of meeting If you have weak or poor body
language, you could be disqualifying yourself from potential suitors
Your body language in the work place is also extremely important Ifyou are manager or in a leadership position, and your body languagedoesn't match what you are saying, your employees will
subconsciously be confused You will have a hard time motivatingyour employees and improving production A leader who has a
strong body language presence, will exude strength and your
employees will be more motivated to follow These techniques canalso be used when raising children Children are looking for
protection and support from their parents when they are young

Trang 9Body Language Reading Is A Skill
We are going to equip you with everything you need to read otherpeople's body language and to fix your own body language What youneed to understand, is that reading body language is a skill that needs
to be practiced and honed Please don't assume that once you readthis book, you are going to be able to read and understand everybodyimmediately You need to put in hours of practice both on your ownbody language and other people's body language You will find thatunderstanding and picking up on the clues we are going to teach you,will open up a whole new world in your life You will find yourselfhaving a subconscious dialogue in your head when watching bodylanguage That person just crossed their arms, they might not be
interested, better change the subject This person won't look me inthe eye, I wonder if they are lying? This person's facial reactions arenot matching what they are telling me Something might be
suspicious These are all dialogues that you will find you will betelling yourself when you are watching body language Human
interaction is usually similar between different people and you willsee patterns begin to emerge Once you can spot these patterns
quickly, you will take your body language reading skill to the nextlevel But once again, becoming a body language reading expert issomething that needs time and cannot be achieved over night
Trang 10Chapter 2: Basic Body Language
Before we move into the more in-depth body language analysis, weare first going to go over the basics of body language At first youmay be overwhelmed when trying analyze body language, as a
simple tick or tell can last only a brief second This will lead tofalse signals and information, which could allow you to jump to thewrong conclusions When first starting out, you should be focusing
on the big picture Focus on the person's overall body language anddemeanor As you become more seasoned, and can pick up the
smaller tells, that is when you know you are getting good at readingbody language But for now, just try to look at the big picture, andremind yourself that you are just beginning and not to jump to anyconclusions about that specific person
Disclaimer Before We Begin
When first developing your ability to read body language, it is
important that you keep in mind that your skills are still undeveloped
It may take months or years to come to a firm grasp of body languageand really be able to read people The skills we are going to teachyou are designed to allow you to read people immediately and learnthe basics of body language There are numerous false positives withthese techniques, so you need to look for confirmation signals If youspot one or two these signals, the proper technique is to look forother signals to confirm your suspicion Never call out or accusesomebody, because you read one or two of these signals Also havemultiple interactions and use body language to find out true motives.But if you are going to accuse someone, always have hard facts orevidence, as even the most reliable body language readers can come
up with false positives
Trang 12What To Watch When Reading Someone's Body Language
There are a few different body parts and areas you should be
watching when reading somebody's body language The first thingyou should notice, is how the person positions their body How istheir posture? Are they standing straight with their chest out? Arethey covering their chest? How much space are they taking up withtheir body? These are all bigger picture questions that will allowyou to read the confidence of that individual Standing up straightwith their chest out, is a common trait of a confident individual whousually is a leader figure Slouched posture with hands coveringtheir heart, usually cross armed, will generally mean this individual
is shy or less confident We will go into greater detail later in thebook on how you can utilize each of these body language tells
Watch The Eyes
You are also going to be watching the eyes, when reading body
language The eyes can alert you to liars and people who are hidingthings from you By understanding where the eyes look when peopleare recalling information, you can understand whether they are
making something up or they are actually recalling information thatactually happened If your subjects eyes move up and to the left, theyare recalling something that they made up in their head Up and to theright, they are recalling information that is stored in their brain Liarsand people who are experiencing stress, are also know to have pooreye contact and generally will look around the room They will alsoblink more and have certain facial ticks So always remember towatch the eyes when you are evaluating body language
Trang 13up You can see this phenomenon usually in a court room setting Amurderer will be talking about how they are sorry for killing
someone, but their facial expression will be one of self pleasureinstead of guilt So always watch for different facial expressions,and see if they are congruent with what the person is actually saying
How We Touch Ourselves And Different Objects
Nervous ticks are another part of body language that you need tobecome aware of Nervous people will usually have some sort oftick which you can use to figure just how they are feeling For
example, moving your leg up and down is a sign of nervousness oranticipation Cracking knuckles is a subliminal comfort techniquedesigned to try to relax the body You also need to take into accounthow people touch themselves when talking to you When someonecontinues to rub their nose, they are usually holding back somethingthey want to say A simple tug on the ear could mean that they areuncomfortable with their situation Supporting their head in theirhand, usually signals boredom or they are tired So if you see
someone doing this in a meeting or presentation, it might be time tomake things more interesting A few strokes of the chin could mean
Trang 14they are interested and respect your thoughtfulness They might beginpondering the idea themselves This is a great tell if you are a
salesmen, as you now know that the client is beginning to buy yourpitch
Trang 15Look At How They Position Their Body Distance Wise
The distance that people put between you and themselves is alsosomething that you should keep in mind when looking at body
language Distance represents the personal space that a person
requires and can actually tell you a lot about that person's
personality If you want to know the relationship between two
people, for example if they are dating or have slept together, justlook at the personal space they share If they are within one foot ofeach other, most likely they have a deeper personal relationship Theaverage personal space for different individuals is around 4 feet forpeople who have never met before If you find that somebody iscloser then four feet, this person may feel comfortable with you, orthey may even be attracted to you Further than four feet, this personmay feel uncomfortable around new people or uncomfortable aroundyou Also be aware of how you are interacting with that person'scomfort zone Some people may not appreciate it if you are
encroaching on their personal space
Body Language Basics That You Can Apply
There are also some body language basics that you need to be aware
of in your own life Your posture is the biggest correction that youneed to start making yourself aware of How you stand and movearound life, can say a lot about your confidence Make sure you stand
up straight with your shoulders back Stick your chest and try to take
up as much space as possible when walking around Move in a slowmanner and try to avoid fast movements Always be aware of whatyou are doing with your hands Try not to cross your arms or holdyour hand over your chest You will see the difference betweenconfident people and those who lack confidence in a club setting
Trang 16Those with lower confidence, will hold their drinks over their chest.Having your chest exposed, is also an indication that you are willing
to interact with other people People will be more receptive to thistype of body language, and will be more willing to come up to youand start a conversation So always make sure you are watching yourown body language as well as watching others
Trang 17Chapter 3: An In Depth Look At The Language Of Your Eyes
The eyes have been commonly referred to as the gateway to a
persons soul Eye contact is extremely important to build a sense oftrust and intimacy Unfortunately, many people have trouble lookingsomeone directly in the eye Direct eye contact could mean that
somebody is challenging you, or it could mean that they have yourfull attention Eye contact is especially important when you are
presenting, as eye contact will allow the audience to feel engagedand part of the presentation Your eyes are also very important incommunication and you find that you have little control over your eyemuscles when you are speaking This allows body language experts
to read your eyes and figure what exactly is your motive
The Direction Of The Eyes And What They Mean
The easiest body language tell to pick up on with regards to eyes, iswhat direction they move and look to when the subject is talking.This relates to the right and left side of the brain, each responsiblefor a different task The left side of the brain is mostly analytical andused for recalling memories and math skills The right side of ourbrain is creative and used in story telling and fictional writing Sohow can use this information when it comes to body language? Ifyour subject is looking right when you are asking them to recall afact, they might be making up a story You have to be attentive,
because it can be quick depending on how rehearsed the lie is for thesubject Children for example, can spend minutes looking up and tothe right when fabricating a story If the person you are reading looks
to the left, they are likely using the left side of the brain, which willallow them to recall facts that actually happened
Trang 18You also need to keep an eye on the horizontal location of the
person's eyes to pick up on more tells If you are looking for a liar,then up and to the right is going to be the position you should watch.Eyes that move upwards, are recreating a visual event, which is mostlikely the situation you are asking about If their eyes move to theright and sideways, this means that they are imagining a sound Thismight be a false positive when it comes to somebody lying, so makesure you ask again Down and to the right indicates, is a signal thatthe person is being creative But down and to the right usually
doesn’t mean the person is lying Down and to the right, usually, willmean the person is questioning their feelings, and is trying to
creatively figure out where they stand This could mean the person ishiding something, but you are going to need other body languagesignals to confirm
Trang 19Direct Eye Contact and How It Relates To Body Language
Eye contact is a great way to make sure you have the attention of theaudience you are speaking to, and also a great way to find out ifsomebody is attracted to you If you are giving a presentation, youcan usually find out who is interested by looking at their eyes If theireyes are wandering around the room or they are looking down at thefloor or desk, you need to energize your speech and find a new way
to get their attention Eye contact is also extremely important if youare in the sales field If you are receiving direct eye contact whenyou are giving your pitch, this means the customer is very interestedand you should go for the close If your client or customer is lookingaway, you need to change your pitch and find another pitch that
relates to him more Be aware of eye contact when people are
talking directly to you It's common knowledge that liars will avoiddirect eye contact, so we have seen numerous cases where liars willlook you directly in the eye So always be aware that just becausesomebody looks you directly in the eye when speaking, they still may
be hiding something
How The Eyes Will Give Away Attraction
The eyes are one of the easiest signals of body language to interpret
if you are looking for the signs of attraction These signals are
common in both males and females, but are usually more pronounced
in the female population The first signal that we are going to talkabout is pupil dilation If you are close enough to watch your
subject's pupils, you can find out a lot about how they feel about you.Pupil dilation is known to occur during attraction when the brainbegins to release different hormones If you notice your date's pupilsbegin to dilate during a date, that could be a sign of growing
Trang 20attraction You also want to take into account the lightening in thesetting that you are in If the lights dim and your date's pupils expand,they are just adjusting to the new lighting
The second attraction tell, is widening of the eyes Eyes usually willwiden, and your eyebrows will raise, when you are confronted with
a positive situation Widening eyes can be seen from people who aregreeting family member or friends, or looking at cute animals
Widening eyes means that person desires what every object they arelooking at So look out for widening eyes when you first meet
somebody, as it could be a tell on if they find you attractive or not
Trang 21Eye Ticks and Movements and What They Mean
Another way that you can read people's eyes, is through eye ticks andmovements Eye ticks are somewhat difficult to pick up on, due tohow quickly they occur If you find your subject is rubbing their eyes,this can mean that they are in a state of disbelief or shock It couldalso mean that they are tired and bored, so make sure you keep this inmind when you are delivering surprising news An eye shrug, orwhen the eyes roll back into the eyelids, can indicate that the person
is upset or frustrated Blinking can also be a great tell to find out ifthe person is nervous or calm If they are blinking extremely fast,chances are they are nervous and are feeling some kind of pressure.While blink rate doesn’t necessarily mean that somebody is lying, ifthey are blinking more then twenty times a minute, they may be hidingsomething An eyebrow raise is also a tell that usually indicatessomebody is acknowledging or greeting another person Shock andfear is also another tell that an eyebrow raise could indicate Thelonger the eyebrow is raised for, usually the more severe the
reaction
Trang 22Chapter 4: The Head
Head and mouth movements are also body parts that you can observe
to read other people's body language Similar to posture of the body,the head can allow you to read a person's confidence level and learnmore about their personality before they begin verbal
communication Identifying certain patterns that are displayed by thehuman mouth, can lead to some insight in whether a person is beinggenuine The mouth is one of the best ways to spot somebody who islying or uncomfortable, due to their tendency to create a fake smile
Reading Head Movements
The first movement we are going to discuss, is one you probablyalready know, the head nod The head nob is universal for agreementand is easy to spot If you are in sales, a head nod will be an activeindication that you are close to a sale and should push for the close
A genuine head nod will usually be fairly quick, so because of slowcareful nods A slow nod could be fake, and you should look forother body language clues to confirm your suspicion On the otherhand, a fast head nod could indicate that the listener understands thepoint and wants you to stop talking The listener who uses the fasthead nod wants to hurry up and move onto another topic
Trang 23The Position and Angle Of The Head
If your subject's head is at a balanced position, not tilting in eitherdirection, this is common body language of somebody who is
listening who has yet to form an opinion Make sure you watch whichdirection the held tilts during your conversation, as the direction willgive you an idea of the opinion they are going to form If the headbegins to tilt to either the left or right side, this is a sign that the
person is interested in what you are talking about A head tilt to theside is also considered a trust signal, and is seen when rapport isbeing built If your date leans in and tilts their head exposing theirneck, this is a sign that they trust you and feel comfortable
The tilt of the head can also be used to read if the person is in
disagreement with what you are saying A side to side head shakingusually means disagreement or frustration This one is easy to pick
up on, due to it being the universal sign of “no” If the tilt of the head
is in a downward angle, and the subject is looking at you throughtheir eyes, this is a position of disappointment or criticism Thissignal will usually come from a person in power, so this is a signalyou do not want to see from your boss If you are the speaker, andyou notice that your subject's head is tilting down, this is a signal thatthey are uninterested or bored with what you are saying Try
changing your topic and see if you can get the head to raise back tonormal position, and you will once again know you have their
attention If that person is working on a project or taking notes andtheir head is down while you are talking, this most likely means thatthey are just busy on work In order for head reads to work, you mustmake sure you have the individual's full attention
Trang 24The Head And Overall Body Posture
The head is an important indicator when looking at the overall
posture and body language of the person you are studying A headheld high, will signal that the person feels superior or may hold aposition of power in regards to the status of the room This naturallyraises the chin and the person you are reading will most likely lookaround the room from a downward angle This should change oncethe person begins talking, and the head should return back to a
neutral position Raising your head high, and keeping your chin up isalso considered good posture This combined with opening yourchest up and standing straight, can give you the appearance of powerand increase the look of confidence Holding your head high andkeeping your chin up, are both techniques you should practice duringthe day
The Head And Active Listening
Reading head movements can also play a vital role in understanding
if the person you are talking to is actually listening to what you aresaying Watching the person's head tilt during conversation, will giveyou clues of what they are thinking This combined with watchingwhich direction their eyes move, can give you an idea of whetherthey are recollecting data or envisioning themselves in the
environment you are talking about Watching the head and eyes,
combined with the mouth, which we are going to talk about next, willallow you to double check signals and make sure you are correct inyour evaluation
