Nothing beats a personal conversation. But you often mistake the smooth talk and blue eyes of your conversation partner. Get rid of the lies, the doubts, and wrong impressions, and discover how you can see faultlessly through people with body language.

Body language expert Frank van Marwijk knows like no other the meaning of the signals we broadcast unconsciously. He knows what people means with their posture, gestures, facial expressions, and tone of voice. After reading this book, filled with stories and useful tips, you don’t have to doubt your judgment anymore:

  • He says he agrees, but does he really?
  • The job interview went fine, right?
  • She is the right person for the job. According to her.
  • He says it never happened before. Is that right?
