Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this book. As the title tells you, this book is all about learning how to read people like a book in order to connect effortlessly with individuals. I cant stress this latter part enoughI want this book to help you CONNECT with people, forge relationships, and for the most part, strengthen your ties with others around you.
My name is James and I have been studying body language and verbal communication for a very long time. I got started after being interested in TV shows that seemed to glamorize body language and profiling. I used to suffer from severe shyness and social anxiety, and so I thought learning how to read people would help me connect with them easier. As I learned, there is really nothing glamorous about it, the process being grounded on cold science and research. Still, I am happy to share what I know with youespecially since it helped me so much in life. Learning to read between the lines allowed me to advance in work, marry the woman of my dreams, have a good relationship with my kids, and be fulfilled in many of my social circles.
Knowing how to properly communicate with people is the hallmark of good relationships. These methods that youre about to learn have given me the kind of deep relationships that I could only dream about before.
So whats the problem really? Why do we find it so hard to connect and communicate with people? A good reason is because what people say isnt always what they mean or even what they want to say. This can lead to mixed signals, confusion, and everyone ending up getting something they really dont want to get.
Lets look at a real-world view for once. Have you ever conducted a presentation and found people dozing off or not paying attention? Have you ever had problems with your boss for reasons that you just cant grasp? Perhaps your boss latches on quickly to suggestions made by a coworker when you suggested the exact same thing before?
Or lets look at your dating life. Do you always strike out with women? Do you find yourself unsure of what to do or what to say during a date? Do you have a hard time figuring out if a girl is also into you?
These are all problems that can be solved with just the right amount of insight when it comes to body language. Body language will tell you at what point your boss has lost interest or which part of the presentation is perceived as boring by your officemates. It can also tell you when a girl is interested even before you walk towards her in a bar.
Knowing all these gives you the chance to assess and change direction as needed. It can help you formulate your techniques depending on what the audience needs. Simply put, it can help you achieve goals through subtle but effective means.
This isnt pseudo science either! Studies have shown that body language has a huge impact on day-to-day conversations. A large part of human communication is done through body language. In fact, there are even classes that teach men how to alter their body language to help them attract more women. There are also classes that teach CEOs and managers how to become more assertive in a particular setting.
The good news is that you dont have to spend thousands and go to those classes to learn techniques. This book can help you with those and so much more! In this book, I intend to help you figure out different personality types and the unique traits each one has, communicating with different personality types, how to read body language, how to understand verbal cues, and of coursehow to train yourself to become a better reader of the people around you.
I want you to be able to achieve bigger and better things through this book, so dont wait aroundflip over to the next page!
Chapter 1: Explanation, Quotes, Facts
People are an endless source of interest. Why they think what they think or why they do what they do has created an entire branch of science called Personality Psychology. Its basically a branch of psychology that studies personality and how its different from one person to the next. It deals with the construction of a coherent picture of an individual, their psychological process, psychological differences, psychological similarities, and human nature. Simply, it tries to answer these five questions:
What personality traits make up a person?
How does a person think?
What makes one personality different from another?
What makes one personality similar with another?
What personality traits are already present from the moment a person is born?
It seems like such a simple five-question study, but its actually such a big field that I doubt this book will be able to discuss everything about people. However, we will try to focus our discussion on how personality affects communication with other people. More importantly, were going to talk about how you can forge a connection with different personalities through both verbal and non-verbal communication.
