Summary of Scott Rouse's Understanding Body Language - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first step in learning about body language is to learn to observe it. Observation is the most important skill you will need to start understanding nonverbal communication. It is important to know how to observe nonverbals, and then you can begin learning what to look for. #2 When a situation arises that triggers the limbic system, your brain takes over and immediately and unconsciously moves your arms, hands, and legs into position to protect your heart, throat, and stomach area. #3 When you begin to observe human behavior for the first time, you will begin to notice what professionals see as red flags and bells and whistles when someone is being dishonest.
You will see the cues that distinguish the dishonest person from the person who is just unsure of what they are saying. #4 When you're angry, your eyebrows will lower and pull toward the center of your brow. Your upper eyelids will be pulled downward, and your lips will tighten. Your breathing will become faster and shallower, and your voice will become lower.
