Peoplewatching: the Desmond Morris Guide to Body Language by Desmond
Morris (Paperback - Jun 14 2002)
Now famous for her role in the O.J. Simpson murder trial, Dimitrius
shares the people-reading techniques she developed over 15 years as a
jury consultant. In so doing, she provides a wealth of tips and
strategies for ferreting out people's real viewpoints, motives and
character traits. Claiming that "reading people is neither a science
nor an innate gift," Dimitrius advocates sharpening and fine-tuning
powers of observation and deduction.
