As Others See Us, first published in 1994 by Gordon & Breach,
is a book designed to introduce the reader to a new way of thinking
about the movements, both conscious and unconscious, that we make
every day and every second of our lives. Goldman describes the
human experience as a continuous stream of body movements, though
we are only aware of a small fraction of the more obvious and
intrusive physical acts. The aim of this book is first to increase
awareness of the subtleties and complexities of our body language,
and then to encourage the reader to perceive these intricacies in
their own movements and in those of others. Finally, with a more
complete understanding and appreciation for the power of body
language and non-verbal communication, one can achieve a deeper
connection between physical and intellectual spheres, to allow for
a fuller and more engaging experience of communication and
expression. This new knowledge of the human body's movements not
only permits one to more accurately perceive the emotions and
thoughts of others, but can allow a glimpse into one's own mind, to
see how we present ourselves to the world, and whether our thoughts
are in sync with our actions. Central to the text is the author's
treatment of the Integrated Movement, a term used to describe the
merger of a posture and a gesture with a consistent quality,
dynamic or shape. This approach to understanding and explaining
human movement offers a unique way of thinking about conscious
gesture, unconscious body language, and verbal speech as
interconnected communication, a synthesis that allows for a more
complete view of ourselves and others around us. The structure of
the book follows a logical framework that mirrors the progress of
the reader, from perception of movement, to the close inspection of
gesture and body language, to the introduction and experience of
Integrated Movement, to the application of one's new awareness to
different aspects of life. Biographical sketches of leading figures
in the field are included, as are suggestions for additional
reading and resources. Perhaps the most unique feature of the book
are the personal exercises (boxed-off text) that appear on almost
every other page. These exercises are designed to allow the reader
to experience the power of body language in real-life situations,
while working towards the increased awareness and perception that
is the goal of the book.
