Introduction

Youmaynothave realized it, but at some point in your life—most likely several points—other people have manipulated or persuaded you into doing the things they want you to do, even if you didn’t especially want to do them. This phenomenon isn’t limited to peer pressure, either.

In some cases, people who are persuasive or manipulative don’t even realize they’re doing it. However, there are other times when people may be deliberately manipulating you through body language, phrasing, and other dark psychology tactics in order to get what they want from you. For example, salespeople (especially those who work on commission) may be trained in subliminal persuasion in order to close sales.

You probably know or have met at least a few people in your personal or professional life who are almost impossible to say no to. It can be uncomfortable being talked into agreeing with something that you aren’t interested in doing or participating in—and often, truly manipulative people can make it seem like it was your idea in the first place, leaving you to only later realize you didn’t want what they had to offer.

For this reason, it’s important to be able to identify this type of persuasion and manipulation so that you can protect yourself from the damage that manipulative tactics can cause. Once you understand more about how to analyze people, you will be equipped to defend against those with evil intentions, so you’ll never agree to something you don’t want again.

As you learn the secrets to analyzing and influencing people, keep in mind that you shouldn’t use these strategies in order to manipulate others. You can learn how to analyze people and direct important conversations in order to gain something that will mutually benefit you both, or at the least, not cause harm to the person you’re influencing. It’s vital that you learn the difference between harmful, manipulative behavior and the ability to convince others to agree with something they’re able to do or provide.

The best use of tactics associated with body language, psychology, and subliminal persuasion is when you need help or agreement from someone, but for whatever reason, you’re unable to ask them outright. The power of persuasion can be incredible when used responsibly—so be sure to use it only with those who are in a position to help you without harming themselves.

For example, you might use these tactics to:

Succeed at job interviewsAsk for a raise or promotionGain (or regain) someone’s trustImprove your personal relationshipsAsk friends or family members for a loanBecome a brilliant public speakerMake fantastic first impressions

In this book, you will first learn how to analyze the people around you through body language and various psychological theories. After you’ve developed a stronger sense of how to analyze people, you can then learn how to persuade anyone to decide in your favor on matters where they have the power to help—and you’ll be able to defend yourself against those who seek to harm through evil manipulation.

Analyzing Other People Through Body Language

Bodylanguageisincredibly powerful. Although there’s no official measurement for how much communication is verbal compared to how much is nonverbal, most experts estimate that 60 percent or more of our feelings, meanings, and intentions are communicated through body language, regardless of the words that we speak. This means you can learn a lot about a person from the way they move and hold themselves, the gestures they make, and even their tone of voice and patterns of speech.

Much of our knowledge concerning body language is grounded in science, rather than opinion or gut feeling—and humans, as a species, have collectively learned a lot on this subject. In fact, there is so much to learn about body language that you could spend a lifetime studying it and still not know everything.

But once you learn the basics and practice looking for and interpreting nonverbal cues, you can discover how to analyze people quickly with a surprising level of accuracy.

One thing to know is that the process of analyzing body language can be challenging because you’ll need to be able to analyze yourself first. Judging and analyzing ourselves is never an easy task. However, once you come to a better understanding of the way you hold yourself, gesture, and overall how you come across when interacting with people, you’ll be able to recognize the same body language in others.

It’s important to remain aware of yourself and study how your body reacts—or does not react—when trying to communicate with people. You’ll need to compare what you’re thinking with what you actually say and look for any cues that your body offers to communicate your real meaning. You may tend to notice your thoughts more than your movements, or vice versa, depending on your own personality and life experiences. For instance, many women have a heightened awareness of their body movements and the space they occupy, formed as an instinctual reaction to growing up in a patriarchal society.

There is a balance you should strike here between awareness and focus, though. If you only concentrate on body language, you may become insecure about what your movements are communicating and either freeze up or over-exaggerate, which will have a negative effect on your interactions with people.

In this first chapter, we’ll look at body language basics that will help you build a solid foundation for analyzing other people. Getting to know someone and becoming familiar with their unique body language will help you understand them more fully, which enables you to develop the best persuasive strategy for influencing their decisions with regard to you.

A Caveat on Cultural Differences

When learning how to analyze people through body language, one important thing to note is that each person is different. While there are general signals, movements, and cues that remain similar from person to person, the exact way a person’s body speaks can vary in many ways. It’s especially vital to keep this in mind when you’re having a conversation with someone who has a different cultural background than you.

For example, hand gestures might vary in meaning from one culture to the next. In America, we assume that a thumbs-up means “good job” or “I agree,” but in other places, such as areas of Greece and the Middle East, it’s the equivalent of flipping someone off in the U.S. Similarly, beckoning toward someone with one finger is viewed as insulting or rude in other countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia, China, parts of East Asia, and the Philippines—where you can actually be arrested for making this gesture.

The social protocols surrounding touch and contact also vary among cultures. Human-to-human contact is typically part of many friendly conversations in America; we shake hands, grasp shoulders, touch arms and elbows, and even hug. Similar cultures exist in Latin America, southern Europe, and much of the Middle East (although this is generally limited to between men). However, other cultures, such as those in the Far East and northern Europe, prefer practically no-contact save for the occasional handshake.

Even eye contact can vary by culture. Americans generally associate strong eye contact with assertiveness, confidence, honesty, and other positive characteristics, but in many African, Asian, and Latin American cultures, steady eye contact is seen as confrontational or aggressive, and social constructs dictate that lowered eyes are a sign of respect for elders and superiors.

There are a number of other cultural differences when it comes to body language as well. Therefore, be sure to keep the other person’s cultural background in mind when learning to analyze people. If you want to communicate with someone from a different culture, it’s a good idea to pick up a more in-depth understanding of their cultural norms.

Your Body is Powerful

There is no denying the power of body language and its ability to telegraph the whole picture of what a person is trying to say. If you want to know what someone is truly trying to communicate to you, it’s critical to understand not only what they’re saying, but how they’re saying it. The how of communication is where body language comes into the equation.

Even when we’re not saying a single word, we are constantly communicating. If you’re sitting alone in a restaurant to enjoy a meal and you’re not interested in striking up small talk with a stranger, you will subconsciously signal disinterest whenever someone comes within conversation range—you’ll avert your gaze, or turn away in your chair, or even suddenly find something interesting on your phone.

On the other hand, if you’re sitting alone in a restaurant because your car broke down and you’re hoping someone can help you, the signals you give off will be different. You’ll appear distressed rather than disinterested, and you will look at everyone who comes within conversation range.

In fact, body language is so effective that even a physically weak and non-imposing person can command a room with it.

There are plenty of ways that a person can use the right body language to convince others to agree with them or do what they want. Some of these methods are subtle, harmless, and effective, while others may be truly manipulative and not work on everyone. For example, the physical threat of an imposing person might elicit submissive behavior in some, while others may respond with returned aggression, even if they don’t appear physically equal. Sexual persuasion is another example that while a few people might respond to manipulative sexual overtures, many will be repulsed by that type of behavior.

Fortunately, you can employ body language that doesn’t rely on physical or sexual intimidation to greater effect, in ways that will work with most people. Some of the basics of this type of persuasive body language include:

Keeping yourself and your body movements visible and open, so that other people understand that they can trust you.Eliminate physical barriers between yourself and the person you’re communicating with, such as moving a chair or walking around a table, to help strengthen the connection between you.Demonstrate interest in the other person and confidence in your own side of the conversation at the same time through the use of mirroring and other body language techniques, which we’ll discuss in detail.
