Gestures: The Do's and Taboos of Body Language Around the World

We must watch our body language as well as the oral language. It's not good enough to use sports terms when talking to an audience who isn't sports minded; every day use of hand/arm motions may have very different meanings to other cutures. Don't be embarassed and worse yet, lose your sale because of a simple gesture that you meant to mean one thing and it was received as something else.

A most excellent work on body language/gesture not only for the UK but for all over the world. This is the second edition, revisedand updated.Where ever you are, who ever you may be with, be very careful in not only what you say but also how you emphasise the pointyou are trying to make if you use a gesture.First class, entertaining and educational

This book is both a humerous and eye-opening read. Gives "different strokes for different folks" an entirely new meaning, and is VITAL for a full understanding and consequent respect of different cultures. Loved it!

I recommend learning about other cultures. This is a quick easy to read book. Book is bigger than I expected. I am happy with this purchase

A very useful book for international travelers and for High School students to be aware of other cultures.

Used this book for cross-cultural class to illustrate some key differences in communication. Had good examples for undergraduate students to appreciate.

Speaking 5 languages I already had an appreciation for the customs of the people's languages that I speak. Working in Corrections ( in a prison ) for twenty years I have seen a change in the mix of different cultures that are entering the correctional system. What an advantage to be able to speak fluent Spanish, and armed with further knowledge of the Spanish culture your dealing with was definitely a plus. I also have many friends that are Japanese, Hindu, and Latin American, so this book for me was more than just a helping hand, it enabled me to experience a more down home taste of their every day culture. Great book. A must read for any one in state or federal government services.

If you are interested in Nonverbal Communication. This is an excellent read. I highly recommend this book along with world renown subject matter expert, Joe Navarro.-Timothy Brookshire, MPA
