I knew this book from my lecturer when I was in university.
He gave me this book [July, 2007] to helped me complete my thesis literature :
"The Representation of Domestic Violance in Cerita Pagi Program at Trans TV"
- use Roland Barthes Semiotics Analytical method... -> Thanks to Mr.Dandi for the inspiring book.
The first time I read the book, I'm absolutely 'in love' with this book.
Allan & Barbara explain about body language in a very simple way.
We can easily understand what they mean.
The body language is not only about "what you see" from the people talked to you,
but also "what is the meaning behind it"!
It's not about "What people said to you",
but also "HOW they told it to you".
It's about "THE WAY" they talked to you.
In this book, you will see the definitions&the deepest meaning about:
body positions, gestures, body language, including hands positions,
face& eyes meaning, kind of shake hands meaning, kind of smile meaning,
etc..etc..... almost complete.
I like this quote:
"It's How you looked when you said it, not what you actually said"
Nice quote.
Allan & Barbara also mentioned that the total impact of a message is about 7% verbal [words only] and 38% vocal [including tone of voice, inflection, & other sounds] and 55% NONVERBAL.
What an amazing statement.
The other nice quote [it show us that women is more sensitive than man]:
"When a person's words and body language are in conflict, women ignore what is said"
Yes ofcourse we're all know, that you won't believe someone who said
"I agree with you" but the other side, they told it to you with "I DON'T CARE" nonverbal gesture!!! Am I right? Let me know if you disagree with me ;p
Which one will you believe:
nonverbal gesture, or verbal sentence.
For me, I prefer believe WHAT I SEE, than WHAT I HEAR.
I Prefer believe my eyes than my ears!
