Most body language books describe a gesture and leave you to imagine it. This one shows it, in 51 annotated plates.
Most guides repeat the myths. This one checks them.
That number comes from small 1967 studies of single spoken words. It was never about communication in general.
A replication with 200 people found no hormonal effect. You'll learn what did hold up.
Across 206 studies, people caught lies about 54% of the time. You'll learn what to do instead.
Built on the work of the people who did this for a living, and the researchers who tested them:

Questions
How do I get it?
Checkout runs through Gumroad. You get the PDF right away, by download link and by email.
Can I read it on my phone?
Yes. The page size was chosen for phones and tablets, and it prints fine too.
Is this a manual for manipulating people?
No. You'll learn how influence works and how manipulators operate so that you can recognize it and shut it down. It doesn't teach anyone to isolate, wear down or gaslight another person.
Will it teach me to catch every liar?
No honest book can. Research shows that no gesture proves a lie. You'll learn to spot where someone is uncomfortable, ask better questions and check facts, which is what actually works.
Will the price stay at $9.90?
It's the launch price. We plan to raise it as the channel grows, so we can't say for how long it will last.
