The Elusive Obvious Book
Research indicates that 80-90% of all communication is nonverbal. Michael's delineation of the 21 patterns of what one can do with one's eyes, voice, body (including gestures and location) and breathing is a major breakthrough. Pivotal to Michael's discovery is the emphasis on breathing. He is able to behaviorally answer the perennial conundrum of "How does the practitioner know if one has permission to interact with another person?" The second half of the book are some common applications of the nonverbal communication patterns.
