The Dictionary of Body Language: A Field Guide to Human Behavior

　　喬．納瓦羅Joe Navarro一生都在觀察他人，在美國FBI擔任特別幹員的25年之中，他從親自出馬到擔任督導，審問間諜、罪犯、危險分子，不僅是他們說出的內容，更觀察這些對象透露的「非語言溝通」訊息。更為美國國務部、國防部等機構服務，是公認的非言語行為專家。退休之後，除了廣受各界邀請，傳授他歷練出的識人絕學，也依舊在美國國安部擔任顧問，更將畢生精華寫成《FBI教你讀心術What Every Body is Saying》，成為相關領域經典暢銷作品。

　　在《FBI教你讀心術What Every Body is Saying》出版十年後的現在，喬．納瓦羅Joe Navarro決心回歸起點，並開啟他迄今最有野心的計畫──將非語言溝通化為一本真正的「實用指南field guide」。以字典方式，從頭、眉毛，到肩膀、手臂、雙腳…解說超過400個肢體動作及臉部表情，它們各自代表的秘密訊息，讓你立即看穿對方的真實意圖。相對地，你也能運用這些非語言溝通，影響、塑造你在別人心中的印象。

　　在書中你會看到：
　　【眼睛篇】當一人說了某個發言，周遭的另一個人用手去觸碰或輕抓自己的眼瞼，很可能是因為…
　　【手臂篇】如果一個人被質問，而突然用一隻手，抓住另一手的手腕表示…
　　【嘴唇篇】同樣是緊閉雙唇，些微下彎，與雙唇整個向內縮起無法被看見，可能暗示不一樣的情形…

　　身體語言/非語言溝通Nonverbal Communication，與人類演化深深相關，不管心理學與生理科學都有豐富的相關研究能給予對應的支持。它是人們有意識、無意識與他人溝通的一種方式。《身體語言大典》則能夠讓你更快速、直接地掌握非語言溝通的關鍵，理解他人，也幫助自己。

　　《姿勢決定你是誰》哈佛心理學家艾美．柯蒂對本書大力盛讚：「本書是終極的身體語言索引，我必將會在接下來的許多年裡不停地參考和推薦它！」
