"Your Body at Work" is a guide to seeing through the words that fill the hallways, conference rooms, and emails of your workplace, and to deciphering their hidden meanings. Through real-life examples from the world of business and background from the science of communication, you will learn to sight-read your colleagues. For example: how a colleague's hand gestures, much more than her words, can tell you how she feels about your presentation; when a shrug of the shoulders can mean the difference between 'job well done' and 'job could be better'; and, how a CEO's gestures tells you, better than any annual report, about his company's bottom line. David Givens has been a consultant to some of the biggest companies in the U.S. With his experience and expertise, he helps you look past the words so you can really read your workplace.

Crime is never unpredictable.

Answering these questions and more, David Givens, a foremost expert in nonverbal communication, offers an instructive, intriguing, and essential tool for warding off crime and protecting your safety and your family's.
