"The Secret Language of Business" Ch 1-6 Summary

I apologize for the odd formatting of these notes. I cannot use the bullets/numbering for the stylistic requirements of this particular entry.


The Secret Language of Business: How to Read Anyone in 3 Seconds or Less (by Kevin Hogan) in a Nutshell

Nonverbal communication:

-my example: "You're hysterical."
