    Without Saying a WordWithout Saying a Word
    by Kasia Wezowski, Patryk Wezowski

    One wrong move can undercut your message.

    Believe it or not, our bodies speak louder than our words. Postures, gestures, and expressions convey reams of information – and often not what you’d expect. A smile, for example, is usually considered welcoming. But crook one corner of your mouth higher, and you project superiority, subconsciously chasing other people away. Without Saying a Word explains how even the subtlest motions have meaning.

    Distilling decades of research, the book deciphers these unspoken signals: from facial expressions and fleeting micro expressions to positive and negative body language. Discover which postures and gestures indicate confidence and build rapport – and which reveal disinterest, arrogance, or even aggression. Learn to end off-putting habits, accentuate good ones, and become an authentic and effective communicator.

    Exhibiting body language that is open, honest, and self-assured increases your social influence and enhances your skill as a negotiator…while the ability to read the emotions and intentions of others is equally indispensable. Whether you’re making a presentation, pitching a project, or closing a deal, the right body language can be your best ally.

  • AUDIBLE Deal of the Day 🎧 Death in the English Countryside

    A new deal every day from Audible. Today’s deal ends 09/29/2018 @ 11:59PM PT.

    Death in the English CountrysideDeath in the English Countryside by Sara Rosett

    Over 200 5-Star Reviews!

    Location scout and Jane Austen aficionado Kate Sharp is thrilled when the company she works for lands the job of finding locations for a new film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, but then her boss, Kevin, fails to return from a scouting trip to England. Kate travels to England to salvage Kevin’s and the company’s reputation before word gets out that he is missing.

    Things go from bad to worse when Kate arrives in Nether Woodsmoor, a quaint village of golden stone cottages and rolling green hills, only to find no trace of Kevin except his abandoned luggage. Even the rumpled, easygoing local scout they consulted, Alex, doesn’t know where Kevin might be.

    Increasingly worried about Kevin and with an antsy director waiting for updates about the preproduction details, Kate embarks on a search that includes a pub-crawl and cozy cottages as well as stately country manors. But Kevin remains missing, and she begins to suspect that the picturesque village and beautiful countryside may not be as idyllic as they seem.

  • AUDIBLE Deal of the Day 🎧 No Apparent Distress

    A new deal every day from Audible. Today’s deal ends 09/28/2018 @ 11:59PM PT.

    No Apparent Distress: A Doctor’s Coming-of-Age on the Front Lines of American MedicineNo Apparent Distress: A Doctor’s Coming-of-Age on the Front Lines of American Medicine
    by Rachel Pearson MD

    In medical charts, the term "N.A.D." (No Apparent Distress) is used for patients who appear stable. The phrase also aptly describes America’s medical system when it comes to treating the underprivileged. Medical students learn on the bodies of the poor — and the poor suffer from their mistakes.

    Rachel Pearson confronted these harsh realities when she started medical school in Galveston, Texas. Pearson, herself from a working-class background, remains haunted by the suicide of a close friend, experiences firsthand the heartbreak of her own errors in a patient’s care, and witnesses the ruinous effects of a hurricane on a Texas town’s medical system. In No Apparent Distress, she chronicles her experiences and the raging disparities in a system that favors the rich and the white.

    This is at once an indictment of American health care and a deeply moving tale of one doctor’s coming-of-age.
