The book as mentioned by the author The Nonverbal Advantage: Secrets and Science of Body Language at Work by Carol Kinsey Goman, to any business person seeking to improve their understanding of nonverbal communication. With body language and unspoken cues being so much a part of personal interaction at all levels in the workplace, the ability to decipher those cues will create a more effective manager.
