The Definitive Book of Body Language by Barbara Pease, Allan Pease
1.0
I'm sure there are other books out there that contain the same or similar insight into and information about body language. This one seemed to be geared toward an audience with a very short attention span; very redundant, summaries at the ends of chapters; "sayings" that repeat what has already been said in a very mundane, interrupting sort of way; bad layout... The book was just not an enjoyable read.
The information itself can be very valuable, but I think this book is particularly relevant to a small section of society (those in marketing) and some of the information, especially the historical foundation for some gestures and 'sentences' seemed to be pulled out of thin air, without any real research supporting the historical reference.
