Body Signs
We all notice things about our body that are annoying, weird, perplexing or downright embarrassing. Our hair may suddenly become lifeless, or our nails brittle. We might feel like we are seeing stars. These are body signs. If we learn how to decode them, they can tell us a lot about the state of our health . . . These medical messages are not merely random occurrences. Rather, they are sent by our bodies to warn us that something may be out of kilter. Body Signs is about how our bodies communicate our internal health status through external signs — and reveals the connection between these outward signs and the inner workings of our bodies. From head to toe, Body Signs will help you tune into what your body is telling you and read the signals. Based on the very latest scientific research and expert opinions of leading physicians, this is a fascinating and essential reference book for anyone interested in their health.
Body Language: How to Write Kinesics, Gestures and Nonverbal Emotions (A Simple Guide to Mastering Body Language and Nonverbal Communication)
Body language, also known as non-verbal communication, is how we express ourselves through gestures, expressions, posture, tone, eye contact, pace of speech and so much more. If you have ever heard the expression “actions speak louder than words” you have heard a universal truth. The actions our body takes without our even thinking about it are very telling indeed and this is precisely why we need to understand what it is and how we can use it to our benefit. Understanding how to read and give non-verbal cues is an important part of communication. We do it automatically without even knowing that we are so understanding is the key word. Still, if you want to master body language in order to manipulate others, you will likely be unsuccessful in the least, and mistrusted in the end. Inside, you’ll learn how to: · Describe emotional states through posture, facial expression, and gesture · Use kinesics to reveal tension, attraction, power, deception, and more · Avoid common clichés and write vivid, original character behavior · Master cultural differences in body language to write international characters · Build subtext and conflict through incongruent actions and dialogue · Understand personal space, microexpressions, mirroring, and territorial displays · Craft compelling greetings, goodbyes, reactions, and physical cues · Instantly access vocabulary tables of gesture types and emotional cues Through unflinching real-world scenarios and psychological insight, he shows how violence actually moves through people, how responsibility grows with skill, and why the most dangerous fight is often the one you never realized you were entering. This book is for readers who want clarity instead of bravado, restraint instead of escalation, and the ability to walk away without needing to prove anything. Because the street is a brutal teacher.
