Body Language: An Ex-Spy's Guide to Master the Art of Nonverbal Communication to Know What People Are Really Thinking in Any Situation
Summary
Imagine how different your life would be if you could really know what other people were thinking in any situation.

A spy would be lost without the ability to read these gestures.

On this day, the first blow for English freedom was struck and forever affected the Western world.
