Winning Body Language: Everything You Need to Know to Save Money, Time, and Your Sanity

Mark Bowen created a masterpiece.The book is incredibly accessible and the technique simple to apply at least in a basic form.It requires some constant practise but you will notice immediate results once you remember to apply the contents.I wish I was the only one to have read this book.

Valuable, clear and enjoyable to read. What more could ask for? As a performance improvement specialist who has work with influential communication for over 20 years, I still found lots of great value in this book and I'm sure any reader will find multiple take aways that they can use right away.

Mark Bowden has written a brilliant guide for anyone who wishes to enhance the way they communicate by having an awareness of their body language. The writing style is informed but jargon free. It's witty and thought provoking. I enjoyed reading it and I have been using the body language tips ever since I closed the book on the last page.

Ci sono varie considerazioni interessanti sulla respirazione che sovvertono le comuni convinzioni dei praticanti di arti orientali (yoga, zen ecc.), qualche consiglio utile per avere una postura più rassicurante, ma mi aspettavo qualcosa di più.

This is my second book on learning body language, the other one being ' What Every BODY is Saying ' by Joe Navarro. By combining and using techniques from these two books, I've already made huge strides in becoming a better presenter. Joe's book is really good for reading people (finding tells, or finding clues of deception, etc), but does give insight to useful gestures that can communicate confidence. 'Winning Body Language' is more focused on being a better communicator in general, especially in the work place.I'm one of those people who always feels awkward when I need to speak in front of a group of people (large or small), but at work I'm always finding myself needing to give presentations, demos, or conduct small meetings. I've had a number of bad experiences in the past that help fuel my paranoia - 'deer in the headlights' moments, jokes intended to loosen people up that flop, the feeling of high stress, ugh, what a nightmare. I would actually lose sleep the night before, knowing I had to do some sort of presentation. I started feeling helpless, so on a whim I purchased this book just to hopefully get a usefull nugget of information or two - and I got all that and more.I just recently had to do a presentation on the software that I'm currently developing. At this point I had read Joe's book and I had read only the first few chapters of 'Winning Body Language'. Even this was enough to help me give a successful presentation. I used a few subtle hand gestures, and I also tried to keep my hands in the 'TruthPlane' as much as possible (something you'll learn in 'Winning Body Language'). Immediately I felt much more confident and I was getting great reactions by the observers. Usually when I speak, the air is really drab and sometimes quite thick, but this time it was very lively and productive. For once I actually felt great giving a presentation! Even after the presentation the Director of IT (my boss's boss) came up to me and said "That was a great presentation! You were really on fire this time!".This stuff works! Out of the two books I've read thus far, I recommend 'Winning Body Language' if you are trying to become more successful with talking to groups of people. If you want to learn how to read people really well, then check out Navarro's book 'What Every BODY is Saying'. I could have just gotten away with 'Winning Body Language' for my intents, but being able to read people certainly pairs well with learning how to communicate effectively. What Every BODY is Saying
