What Words Cannot Hide

People say much more than what they can put into words.

An unexpected pause.

A change in gaze.

A smile that disappears.

A change in voice.

A gesture that suddenly stops.

A posture that changes exactly when a certain subject comes up.

Every day, small changes happen before our eyes—and most

of them go unnoticed.

What Words Can't Hide is a practical guide for those who want

to develop a more accurate perception of nonverbal communication

and better understand human behavior.

Instead of presenting simplistic formulas like "crossed arms, is

being defensive" or "looked away, is lying," Luciana Priscila

shows a much more intelligent approach: observing patterns,

changes, groupings of signals, and context before arriving at

any interpretation.

Throughout this book, you will discover how to:

• recognize a person's habitual behavior before interpreting changes;

• perceive subtle changes in face, gaze, hands, posture, and voice;

• identify the moment when a conversation changes direction;

• better understand silences, pauses, and hesitations;

• recognize when words and behavior seem mismatched;

• differentiate emotion, tension, and intention;

• avoid the main mistakes when trying to identify possible signs of lying;

• perceive important changes in relationships, meetings, negotiations,

and difficult conversations;

• use the SIGNALS Method to organize your observations;

• transform perception into better questions, instead of hasty

accusations.

And also:

Words tell part of the story.

Behavior can offer clues about the rest.

After this book, you may never observe a conversation the

same way again.

the words.
