Review From


Scalp to Soles:


R of R.E.A.D.


To learn to read body language, you will use a piecemeal
approach in the beginning, and then move to a holistic evalu-
ation. Many pieces of body language are an amalgamation
of small signs and movements, both voluntary and involun-
tary. In learning to read body language, therefore, you have
to build up from the segments in order to make sense of the
whole picture. Jointly and separately, eyebrows, eyes, mouth,
skin tone, limbs, fingers, and toes can convey emotions. Think
of these bits of body language as the words in a sentence: It
makes a lot of sense if you know all the words, but you’re
only guessing if you have every other word.
