  1. Meenal Jain

    What individuals say often contradicts with what they think or feel. This book on Body Language by Prof Shalini Verma ‘Lifoholic’ is just what you need to understand about the sentiments that individuals usually try to hide. There are some things that an unskilled eye misses, yet this book can turn even a novice into a pro. The author faithfully puts her views into this book. Body language may appear difficult to understand but this book actually makes it simple to master. Prof Shalini breaks down each element in a quite understandable and relatable way. Palm gestures, hand and arm
    gestures, hand to face gestures, arm and leg barriers, eye signals, courting gestures and signals, body lowering, and much more may all be learned from this book. I’ve had a lot of fun reading this book. When I watch someone move, my eye instinctively searches for noticeable motions, which I then compare to what the person is really saying. This will be valuable and relevant to people from many
    walks of life.
