Interest in body language first gained popularity in the early 1970s when Fast wrote the pivotal book, appropriately titled “Body Language”. Since then, it has gone on to become the topic of dozens of books and a specialty subject of psychologists around the globe.

And What About Body Language Study Today?

Today, body language has become a household term and, thanks in large part to research completed during the 1990s’ “Decade of the Brain”, many of the meanings behind the nonverbal signs and cues Fast wrote about in 1970 are now backed by neuroscience.

In other words, time hasn’t so much changed body language as helped it to evolve into something more—more compelling, more concrete and more scientific.

So Why Learn To Read and Control Body Language?

Because It’s Almost Like Reading Minds!

Because so much of a person’s body language is reflexive and because nonverbal cues can contradict what a person is actually saying, learning how to read such cues (and also how to control our own body language) gives a person a superior edge in:
