There is an old Latin saying, “Qui docet, discit” (He who teaches,
learns). In many ways, writing is no different; it is a process of learning
and discerning, which at the end of the day has been a pleasure. It is my
hope that when you come to the end of this book, you too will have
gained a profound knowledge of how we communicate nonverbally—
and that your life will be enriched, as mine has been, by knowing what
every body is saying.
