Are you saying one thing whilst your hands reveal another?
Are you influenced by other people's body language without even
knowing it?
Darting through examples found anywhere from the controlled
psychology laboratory to modern advertising and the Big Brother TV
phenomenon, official Big Brother psychologist Geoffrey Beattie
takes on the issue of what our everyday gestures mean and how they
affect our relationships with other people. For a long time
psychologists have misunderstood body language as an emotional
nonverbal side effect. In this book Geoffrey Beattie ranges across
the history of communication from Cicero to Chomsky to demonstrate
that by adding to or even contradicting what we say, gestures
literally make our true thoughts visible. A unique blend of popular
examples and scientific research presented in language that
everybody can understand, Visible Thought is an accessible and
groundbreaking text that will appeal to those interested in social
psychology and anyone who wants to delve beneath the surface of
human interaction.
Geoffrey Beattie is the official Big Brother psychologist and
Professor at the Department of Psychology, University of
Manchester. He is a recipient of the Spearman Medal awarded by the
British Psychological Society for 'published psychological work of
outstanding merit'.
