I Know What You're Really Thinking: Reading Body Language Like a Trial Lawyer Marc Mogil

Whereas books on body language have been written by psychologists and sociologists, Marc Mogil's I Know What You're Really Thinking. (Reading Body Language Like a Trial Lawyer.) stands out from the field since it reflects the experience a man who has spent twenty-five years of his life as a trial judge, courtroom special prosecutor, and defense attorney. This intensive view of the different signals of kinesics and territoriality we all unconsciously possess, aids the average person in gaining a valuable insight into ascertaining what a person really feels, who is or isn't telling them the truth, despite any verbiage to the contrary. Dealing with general modes of non-verbal communication, the author explains from a legal mind point-of-view the signs of territoriality and zones of privacy (and how to use them to read people), describes specific bodily gestures, and finally provides an enjoyable and functional experiment to see if you've caught on to the premises of body language. This book is certain to be in demand by psychoanalysts, attorneys, students, employers, interviewees, and those interested in going through life with a better understanding of what the body unconsciously says and does with every comment made by or to us.
