About the Book

How to Read a Person Like a Book is a classic and enduringly popular guide to body language by Gerard I. Nierenberg, founder of The Negotiation Institute, and Henry H. Calero, with over one million copies sold since its original 1971 publication. Whether we're conscious of it or not, our bodies constantly express our feelings, attitudes, and motives through gestures that are often subtle, vague, and easily overlooked by the untrained eye.

The book teaches readers how to "decode" and respond to nonverbal signals from strangers, friends, romantic partners, and business associates alike. A tilt of the head, the crossing of legs, or the buttoning and unbuttoning of a jacket, gestures most of us barely notice, can actually communicate a wealth of information about what someone is really thinking or feeling. Drawing on Nierenberg's extensive background in negotiation and Calero's expertise in nonverbal communication, the authors walk readers through recognizing signals of affection and attraction, detecting boredom or defensiveness, spotting potential signs of dishonesty, and using body language awareness to gain the upper hand in negotiations and everyday social situations. By learning to interpret these unspoken cues, readers can improve their command of business meetings, job interviews, parties, and countless other everyday encounters, engaging with genuinely useful insight into the silent, universal language everybody uses but few consciously understand.
