F
ell is an action that tells you what
Did you know that the way you stand, how you position your elbows,
move your feet or hands, says a lot about how dominant or submissive
you feel? Or that when you're trying to hide your feelings, your sexual
attitudes are betrayed by your eyes and mouth? Even the way you smile -
and the facial muscles you use - shows whether you are genuinely happy
or faking it! These are
Tells,
and they are highly revealing. In fact,
wherever you are and whatever you're doing, your movements
provide important clues about your state of mind.
In
The Book of Tells
Peter Collett, resident psychologist on Channel 4's
Big Brother
series, introduces us to the fascinating concept of
Tells,
showing how they work, where they come from and how to identify
and interpret them. While teaching you to read the motives and actions
of other people, this invaluable resource also helps you to focus on the
messages that you unwittingly send, and the impact that these might
have on those around you.
Comprehensive, accessible and fun to use,
The Book of Tells
offers a
new, unifying vocabulary for understanding human communication -
and a unique opportunity to read others and yourself.
'It is quite an eye-opener to discover what a devious
game we humans play with our unwitting
messages of communication'
