Chapter 1: Introduction To Body Language
Body language makes up 65% or 75% of all communication during a
typical day. You may realize your conscious brain is listening in

what people are saying, but you are most likely unaware of the body
language messages you are receiving from your subconscious mind.
The goal of this book is to make sure you are aware of both the body
language around you and your own body language. Being able to
read and understand body language is a skill that will benefit you in
all aspects of your life. Understanding how body language works
will allow you to communicate more effectively with other
individuals and strengthen your relationships. You can also take the
skills you learn from this book and apply them to your own body
language. Learn simple techniques that will allow you to appear
more confident and allow you to build more relationships. Reading
body language is a skill that very few people possess, and this book
will allow you to become a body language reading expert.
The Benefits Of Reading Body Language
The benefits of reading body language are endless, and yet many
people never take the time to learn how to properly read body
language. Once you understand body language, you will be able to
become a human lie detector. Almost everybody in life lies, whether
it's a small lie or a big lie, their body language will give them away.
Find out immediately who is lying in your life, whether its personal
relationships or business relationship. Body language can also
telegraph attraction and whether or not somebody is interested in
you. Having the ability to ask out or date only people you know are
attracted to you, will save you time and energy in your dating life.
Never be embarrassed by asking out someone who isn’t interested
again. Improve your business life by using body language as a
powerful weapon. Understand how your coworkers and boss view
you in the workplace. Learn how to read clients and customers, and
understand exactly how they are feeling during your sales pitch. An
understanding of body language will also allow you to become a

skilled presenter. Read the body language of your audience and
adjust your presentation accordingly. Use body language in job
interviews, and understand exactly what your interviewer thinks of
you. Never have another boring presentation, instead capture and
captivate your audience by understanding what they want to hear.
The benefits of reading body language go on and on. Reading body
language is a life skill and this book will allow you to benefit from
reading body language throughout your entire life.
Understanding Your Body Language
While its important to be able to understand and read other people's
body language, it can be just as important to understand your own
body language. Most people are unaware with the way they carry
themselves, which can make them seem cold or unapproachable.
Body language plays a huge part in your overall perception from
other people. People may perceive you as weak or lacking
confidence just by your overall body language. Have you ever met
somebody and immediately didn’t like them, even before they said a
word? Or how about the reverse. You meet somebody and
immediately liked them and wanted to get to know them better?
Chances are that body language played a huge part in your initial
assessment of that person. Your body language could be hurting your
dating life as well. Both men and women will judge one another in
the first 5 seconds of meeting. If you have weak or poor body
language, you could be disqualifying yourself from potential suitors.
Your body language in the work place is also extremely important. If
you are manager or in a leadership position, and your body language
doesn't match what you are saying, your employees will
subconsciously be confused. You will have a hard time motivating
your employees and improving production. A leader who has a
strong body language presence, will exude strength and your

employees will be more motivated to follow. These techniques can
also be used when raising children. Children are looking for
protection and support from their parents when they are young.
Strong body language will make the children feel protected and
understand that you are the authority figure. Children can pick up on
body language very easily, and a lack of strong body language may
cause them to test your boundaries. The best thing about body
language, is once you understand the correct body language to have,
you can fix your problems immediately. It will take some time for
you to change, because you might have had bad body language your
whole life. But we can offer you some quick and easy fixes which
will allow you to see immediate results in all aspects of your life.
Body Language Reading Is A Skill
We are going to equip you with everything you need to read other
people's body language and to fix your own body language. What you
need to understand, is that reading body language is a skill that needs
to be practiced and honed. Please don't assume that once you read
this book, you are going to be able to read and understand everybody
immediately. You need to put in hours of practice both on your own
body language and other people's body language. You will find that
understanding and picking up on the clues we are going to teach you,
will open up a whole new world in your life. You will find yourself
having a subconscious dialogue in your head when watching body
language. That person just crossed their arms, they might not be
interested, better change the subject. This person won't look me in
the eye, I wonder if they are lying? This person's facial reactions are
not matching what they are telling me. Something might be
suspicious. These are all dialogues that you will find you will be
telling yourself when you are watching body language. Human
interaction is usually similar between different people and you will

see patterns begin to emerge. Once you can spot these patterns
quickly, you will take your body language reading skill to the next
level. But once again, becoming a body language reading expert is
something that needs time and cannot be achieved over night.
Chapter 2: Basic Body Language
Before we move into the more in-depth body language analysis, we
are first going to go over the basics of body language. At first you
may be overwhelmed when trying analyze body language, as a
simple tick or tell can last only a brief second. This will lead to
false signals and information, which could allow you to jump to the
wrong conclusions. When first starting out, you should be focusing
on the big picture. Focus on the person's overall body language and
demeanor. As you become more seasoned, and can pick up the
smaller tells, that is when you know you are getting good at reading
body language. But for now, just try to look at the big picture, and
remind yourself that you are just beginning and not to jump to any
conclusions about that specific person.
Disclaimer Before We Begin
When first developing your ability to read body language, it is
important that you keep in mind that your skills are still undeveloped.
It may take months or years to come to a firm grasp of body language
and really be able to read people. The skills we are going to teach
you are designed to allow you to read people immediately and learn
the basics of body language. There are numerous false positives with
these techniques, so you need to look for confirmation signals. If you
spot one or two these signals, the proper technique is to look for
other signals to confirm your suspicion. Never call out or accuse
somebody, because you read one or two of these signals. Also have
multiple interactions and use body language to find out true motives.
But if you are going to accuse someone, always have hard facts or

evidence, as even the most reliable body language readers can come
up with false positives.

What To Watch When Reading Someone's Body Language
There are a few different body parts and areas you should be
watching when reading somebody's body language. The first thing
you should notice, is how the person positions their body. How is
their posture? Are they standing straight with their chest out? Are
they covering their chest? How much space are they taking up with
their body? These are all bigger picture questions that will allow
you to read the confidence of that individual. Standing up straight
with their chest out, is a common trait of a confident individual who
usually is a leader figure. Slouched posture with hands covering
their heart, usually cross armed, will generally mean this individual
is shy or less confident. We will go into greater detail later in the
book on how you can utilize each of these body language tells.
Watch The Eyes
You are also going to be watching the eyes, when reading body
language. The eyes can alert you to liars and people who are hiding
things from you. By understanding where the eyes look when people
are recalling information, you can understand whether they are
making something up or they are actually recalling information that
actually happened. If your subjects eyes move up and to the left, they
are recalling something that they made up in their head. Up and to the
right, they are recalling information that is stored in their brain. Liars
and people who are experiencing stress, are also know to have poor
eye contact and generally will look around the room. They will also
blink more and have certain facial ticks. So always remember to
watch the eyes when you are evaluating body language.
Facial Expressions

The face has many different muscles and reacts and contracts in many
different ways when we are communicating. It is extremely difficult
to control your facial reactions during conversation, which is one of
the reasons that facial expressions are an easy way to spot
somebody’s true intentions. Listening to what a person is saying, and
watching their facial expressions at the same time, is the way you
find out if what the person is telling is true. Usually people who are
lying, will say something but their facial expressions will not match
up. You can see this phenomenon usually in a court room setting. A
murderer will be talking about how they are sorry for killing
someone, but their facial expression will be one of self pleasure
instead of guilt. So always watch for different facial expressions,
and see if they are congruent with what the person is actually saying.
How We Touch Ourselves And Different Objects
Nervous ticks are another part of body language that you need to
become aware of. Nervous people will usually have some sort of
tick which you can use to figure just how they are feeling. For
example, moving your leg up and down is a sign of nervousness or
anticipation. Cracking knuckles is a subliminal comfort technique
designed to try to relax the body. You also need to take into account
how people touch themselves when talking to you. When someone
continues to rub their nose, they are usually holding back something
they want to say. A simple tug on the ear could mean that they are
uncomfortable with their situation. Supporting their head in their
hand, usually signals boredom or they are tired. So if you see
someone doing this in a meeting or presentation, it might be time to
make things more interesting. A few strokes of the chin could mean
they are interested and respect your thoughtfulness. They might begin
pondering the idea themselves. This is a great tell if you are a
salesmen, as you now know that the client is beginning to buy your

pitch.
Look At How They Position Their Body Distance Wise
The distance that people put between you and themselves is also
something that you should keep in mind when looking at body
language. Distance represents the personal space that a person
requires and can actually tell you a lot about that person's
personality. If you want to know the relationship between two
people, for example if they are dating or have slept together, just
look at the personal space they share. If they are within one foot of
each other, most likely they have a deeper personal relationship. The
average personal space for different individuals is around 4 feet for
people who have never met before. If you find that somebody is
closer then four feet, this person may feel comfortable with you, or
they may even be attracted to you. Further than four feet, this person
may feel uncomfortable around new people or uncomfortable around
you. Also be aware of how you are interacting with that person's
comfort zone. Some people may not appreciate it if you are
encroaching on their personal space.
Body Language Basics That You Can Apply
There are also some body language basics that you need to be aware
of in your own life. Your posture is the biggest correction that you
need to start making yourself aware of. How you stand and move
around life, can say a lot about your confidence. Make sure you stand
up straight with your shoulders back. Stick your chest and try to take
up as much space as possible when walking around. Move in a slow
manner and try to avoid fast movements. Always be aware of what
you are doing with your hands. Try not to cross your arms or hold
your hand over your chest. You will see the difference between
confident people and those who lack confidence in a club setting.
Those with lower confidence, will hold their drinks over their chest.

Having your chest exposed, is also an indication that you are willing
to interact with other people. People will be more receptive to this
type of body language, and will be more willing to come up to you
and start a conversation. So always make sure you are watching your
own body language as well as watching others.
Chapter 3: An In Depth Look At The Language Of Your Eyes
The eyes have been commonly referred to as the gateway to a
persons soul. Eye contact is extremely important to build a sense of
trust and intimacy. Unfortunately, many people have trouble looking
someone directly in the eye. Direct eye contact could mean that
somebody is challenging you, or it could mean that they have your
full attention. Eye contact is especially important when you are
presenting, as eye contact will allow the audience to feel engaged
and part of the presentation. Your eyes are also very important in
communication and you find that you have little control over your eye
muscles when you are speaking. This allows body language experts
to read your eyes and figure what exactly is your motive.
The Direction Of The Eyes And What They Mean
The easiest body language tell to pick up on with regards to eyes, is
what direction they move and look to when the subject is talking.
This relates to the right and left side of the brain, each responsible
for a different task. The left side of the brain is mostly analytical and
used for recalling memories and math skills. The right side of our
brain is creative and used in story telling and fictional writing. So
how can use this information when it comes to body language? If
your subject is looking right when you are asking them to recall a
fact, they might be making up a story. You have to be attentive,
because it can be quick depending on how rehearsed the lie is for the
subject. Children for example, can spend minutes looking up and to
the right when fabricating a story. If the person you are reading looks

to the left, they are likely using the left side of the brain, which will
allow them to recall facts that actually happened.
You also need to keep an eye on the horizontal location of the
person's eyes to pick up on more tells. If you are looking for a liar,
then up and to the right is going to be the position you should watch.
Eyes that move upwards, are recreating a visual event, which is most
likely the situation you are asking about. If their eyes move to the
right and sideways, this means that they are imagining a sound. This
might be a false positive when it comes to somebody lying, so make
sure you ask again. Down and to the right indicates, is a signal that
the person is being creative. But down and to the right usually
doesn’t mean the person is lying. Down and to the right, usually, will
mean the person is questioning their feelings, and is trying to
creatively figure out where they stand. This could mean the person is
hiding something, but you are going to need other body language
signals to confirm.
Direct Eye Contact and How It Relates To Body Language
Eye contact is a great way to make sure you have the attention of the
audience you are speaking to, and also a great way to find out if
somebody is attracted to you. If you are giving a presentation, you
can usually find out who is interested by looking at their eyes. If their
eyes are wandering around the room or they are looking down at the
floor or desk, you need to energize your speech and find a new way
to get their attention. Eye contact is also extremely important if you
are in the sales field. If you are receiving direct eye contact when
you are giving your pitch, this means the customer is very interested
and you should go for the close. If your client or customer is looking
away, you need to change your pitch and find another pitch that
relates to him more. Be aware of eye contact when people are
talking directly to you. It's common knowledge that liars will avoid

direct eye contact, so we have seen numerous cases where liars will
look you directly in the eye. So always be aware that just because
somebody looks you directly in the eye when speaking, they still may
be hiding something.
How The Eyes Will Give Away Attraction
The eyes are one of the easiest signals of body language to interpret
if you are looking for the signs of attraction. These signals are
common in both males and females, but are usually more pronounced
in the female population. The first signal that we are going to talk
about is pupil dilation. If you are close enough to watch your
subject's pupils, you can find out a lot about how they feel about you.
Pupil dilation is known to occur during attraction when the brain
begins to release different hormones. If you notice your date's pupils
begin to dilate during a date, that could be a sign of growing
attraction. You also want to take into account the lightening in the
setting that you are in. If the lights dim and your date's pupils expand,
they are just adjusting to the new lighting.
The second attraction tell, is widening of the eyes. Eyes usually will
widen, and your eyebrows will raise, when you are confronted with
a positive situation. Widening eyes can be seen from people who are
greeting family member or friends, or looking at cute animals.
Widening eyes means that person desires what every object they are
looking at. So look out for widening eyes when you first meet
somebody, as it could be a tell on if they find you attractive or not.
Eye Ticks and Movements and What They Mean
Another way that you can read people's eyes, is through eye ticks and
movements. Eye ticks are somewhat difficult to pick up on, due to
how quickly they occur. If you find your subject is rubbing their eyes,
this can mean that they are in a state of disbelief or shock. It could
also mean that they are tired and bored, so make sure you keep this in

mind when you are delivering surprising news. An eye shrug, or
when the eyes roll back into the eyelids, can indicate that the person
is upset or frustrated. Blinking can also be a great tell to find out if
the person is nervous or calm. If they are blinking extremely fast,
chances are they are nervous and are feeling some kind of pressure.
While blink rate doesn’t necessarily mean that somebody is lying, if
they are blinking more then twenty times a minute, they may be hiding
something. An eyebrow raise is also a tell that usually indicates
somebody is acknowledging or greeting another person. Shock and
fear is also another tell that an eyebrow raise could indicate. The
longer the eyebrow is raised for, usually the more severe the
reaction.
Chapter 4: The Head
Head and mouth movements are also body parts that you can observe
to read other people's body language. Similar to posture of the body,
the head can allow you to read a person's confidence level and learn
more about their personality before they begin verbal
communication. Identifying certain patterns that are displayed by the
human mouth, can lead to some insight in whether a person is being
genuine. The mouth is one of the best ways to spot somebody who is
lying or uncomfortable, due to their tendency to create a fake smile.
Reading Head Movements
The first movement we are going to discuss, is one you probably
already know, the head nod. The head nob is universal for agreement
and is easy to spot. If you are in sales, a head nod will be an active
indication that you are close to a sale and should push for the close.
A genuine head nod will usually be fairly quick, so because of slow
careful nods. A slow nod could be fake, and you should look for
other body language clues to confirm your suspicion. On the other
hand, a fast head nod could indicate that the listener understands the

point and wants you to stop talking. The listener who uses the fast
head nod wants to hurry up and move onto another topic.
The Position and Angle Of The Head
If your subject's head is at a balanced position, not tilting in either
direction, this is common body language of somebody who is
listening who has yet to form an opinion. Make sure you watch which
direction the held tilts during your conversation, as the direction will
give you an idea of the opinion they are going to form. If the head
begins to tilt to either the left or right side, this is a sign that the
person is interested in what you are talking about. A head tilt to the
side is also considered a trust signal, and is seen when rapport is
being built. If your date leans in and tilts their head exposing their
neck, this is a sign that they trust you and feel comfortable.
The tilt of the head can also be used to read if the person is in
disagreement with what you are saying. A side to side head shaking
usually means disagreement or frustration. This one is easy to pick
up on, due to it being the universal sign of “no”. If the tilt of the head
is in a downward angle, and the subject is looking at you through
their eyes, this is a position of disappointment or criticism. This
signal will usually come from a person in power, so this is a signal
you do not want to see from your boss. If you are the speaker, and
you notice that your subject's head is tilting down, this is a signal that
they are uninterested or bored with what you are saying. Try
changing your topic and see if you can get the head to raise back to
normal position, and you will once again know you have their
attention. If that person is working on a project or taking notes and
their head is down while you are talking, this most likely means that
they are just busy on work. In order for head reads to work, you must
make sure you have the individual's full attention.
The Head And Overall Body Posture

The head is an important indicator when looking at the overall
posture and body language of the person you are studying. A head
held high, will signal that the person feels superior or may hold a
position of power in regards to the status of the room. This naturally
raises the chin and the person you are reading will most likely look
around the room from a downward angle. This should change once
the person begins talking, and the head should return back to a
neutral position. Raising your head high, and keeping your chin up is
also considered good posture. This combined with opening your
chest up and standing straight, can give you the appearance of power
and increase the look of confidence. Holding your head high and
keeping your chin up, are both techniques you should practice during
the day.
The Head And Active Listening
Reading head movements can also play a vital role in understanding
if the person you are talking to is actually listening to what you are
saying. Watching the person's head tilt during conversation, will give
you clues of what they are thinking. This combined with watching
which direction their eyes move, can give you an idea of whether
they are recollecting data or envisioning themselves in the
environment you are talking about. Watching the head and eyes,
combined with the mouth, which we are going to talk about next, will
allow you to double check signals and make sure you are correct in
your evaluation
The Signals Of The Mouth
The mouth has numerous signals and movements that will allow you
to decipher certain clues about your subject's true intentions. The
mouth is one of the best places to look for secrecy and displeasure.
The smile is the number one trait that you are going to be examining
when looking at the mouth. Since a smile is universally known as a

indicator of happiness and agreement, many people who are
insincere have adopted the fake smile technique. We are going to
review ways you can tell a fake smile from a real smile and different
ways to read the body language of the mouth.
The Different Types Of Smiles And What They Mean
There are many different types of smiles, some are sincere and
others are not. Smiles may happen very quickly, so you must pay
close attention if you want to make the right reads. The first smile we
are going to talk about, is the fake smile. This smile is usually forced
when somebody disagrees with what you are saying and wants to try
to be polite, or it can be used when somebody is lying or avoiding
the truth. A fake smile will form faster then a normal smile and will
last much longer. Fake smiles can also add an element of discomfort
in the subjects face. When looking for a fake smile, look at the
subjects eyes. If the eyes fail to widen, and eyebrows to slightly
raise, you most likely are looking at a fake smile. A genuine smile
works all the muscles in the face and you will see the eyes open,
similar to a reaction to a good surprise, or seeing a long lost friend
for the first time.
Another trait of a genuine smile is that the teeth will show and the
smile will be from “ear to ear”. If you receive a smile that is tight
