How To Read A Person Like A Book

People-watching always proves to be a fascinating diversion. You've probably done it from time to time at the mall, at the grocery store, in meetings, during social gatherings, at sporting events, and so on. And if you're like us, you've probably found yourself wondering what someone was thinking--what the story was behind a certain action or decision. You probably know the "faces" people make or the way they tilt their heads, for instance, suggest certain thoughts or feelings. What people convey with their bodies, regardless of whether or not any words are said, speaks volumes about their intentions and emotions. And if words are spoken, knowing what a person is communicating via body language can, in many cases, help affirm or contradict what you are hearing.
