Allan Pease

Perché Hitler teneva sempre il cappello davanti alla cerniera dei pantaloni? Perché Saddam Hussein è riuscito a tenere in pugno un'intera nazione? Perché Victoria comanda in casa Beckham? Secondo i più recenti studi oltre il 60% della comunicazione umana è non verbale. Ovvero, al di là delle parole e dei movimenti di cui siamo consapevoli, occhi, mani, piedi e muscoli facciali esprimono emozioni spesso in contraddizione con le parole, svelando i nostri pensieri reali. Saper leggere questi piccoli segnali e imparare a dominare il proprio corpo diventa indispensabile per interpretare desideri e intenzioni dei nostri interlocutori e per controllare i messaggi che involontariamente noi stessi trasmettiamo. Basandosi sulle scoperte della biologia evoluzionistica e della psicologia, Allan & Barbara Pease ci spiegano come.

In this highly amusing series of lectures, Allan Pease demonstrates the hidden language of our lives: body language. He demonstrates how the gestures are often related to inner feelings and sentiments and how people unconsciously utilize them. He goes through these gestures one after another and sheds light on the meaning of each, never forgetting to mention funny and beautiful examples.

What people say is often very different from what they think or feel–but how do you tell? The answer lies in the study of body language. A person's gestures are very accurate indicators of his or her attitudes, thoughts, desires, or emotions.
This book examines aspects of non-verbal communication in a wide variety of everyday contexts. It discusses techniques that show you how to interpret gestures correctly and thus to 'read' the underlying thoughts or emotions.
