Product Description
The workplace is a "blink" world. Studies show we form opinions of one another within 7 seconds of meeting, and that 93% of the message people receive from us has nothing to do with what we actually say. Good nonverbal communication skills are therefore a huge professional advantage. Author Carol Kinsey Goman combines the latest research and her 25 years of practical experience as a consultant, coach and therapist to offer a fun and practical guide to understanding what we and the people we work with are saying without speaking. Goman writes in an informal, conversational tone, illustrating her points with cartoons, photos and anecdotes, and she includes dozens of simple and enlightening exercises readers can practice to gain control over the message their body is sending. The Nonverbal Advantage will help readers communicate far more effectively, understand those around them more completely, and project a more accurate picture of who they really are to their colleagues, clients and partners.

I see what you're saying. December 14, 2008

I had the benefit of reading THE NONVERBAL ADVANTAGE, by Carol Kinsey Goman, while traveling on business. I say it was a benefit because I was able to apply what I read while observing the people in the airport. It was a real eye opener and really even gave me somewhat of a sense of empowerment knowing that I knew what people were really saying with their bodies.
Several years ago, I went through a training course on Integrity Interviewing, so I knew a lot of this stuff already, but I was very surprised at how much I DIDN'T know. I'm not just talking about reading other people, but my own actions as well. There is a great deal of information here on how our body language will invite others to be more open with you.
The subtitle here is SECRETS AND SCIENCE OF BODY LANGUAGE AT WORK, and this is critical knowledge for anyone in business, but it goes much further than that. This is somewhat of a training manual on social skills, both business and personal. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't benefit greatly from reading this book.

The latest research and opinions on nonverbal communication skills are examined in a fine survey for coaches, business leaders and workers alike, with chapters telling how to understand and speak body language to take advantage of workplace atmosphere. Chapters offer analysis of this language, and use black and white photos to analyze and provide examples of common body language.

I don't usually review books very often but this is undoubtly the best book on body language that I have read. I usually feel that it is a waste of my time to read this type of book. It is one of those nothing new, I have read it all before type feelings. This book was different. It was clear, included more body language and exceptions. Very interesting and entertaining with the photos and cartoons. A guick read and you actually learn things to watch for and try, including your own bad body language.

The Nonverbal Advantage is one of the best books I have read on understanding body language and explaining how to use it in the real world. The book is accurate, concise and provides a guide that will work for the professional and the student.
This book is a great addition to the working library of any Project Manager, Manager and any professional who needs to work with people.
 Readable, if stating the obvious September 9, 2008

Well worth the time to read. Pictures were helpful, but the most useful were the exercises that were interspersed throughout the book. My guess is that most people are unconsciously competent in the reading of nonverbal expressions. This book helps you get to "back" to a conscious competent and then to use the experience to read others.
