Joe Navarro, Marvin Karlins
A former FBI counterintelligence agent explains how to read nonverbal signals such as posture, gestures and facial expressions, much like the source book's practical vocabulary for spotting attitudes and emotions.
Daniel Goleman
Goleman shows how recognising feelings in yourself and others shapes relationships and success, which extends the source book's focus on understanding people through their behaviour.
Malcolm Gladwell
Gladwell examines how people make fast, intuitive judgements from brief first impressions, a theme that echoes the source book's interest in what a glance or gesture reveals.
Robert B. Cialdini
Cialdini's research-based account of why people say yes complements the source book's advice on gaining control in encounters, with clear principles readers can apply immediately.
