Convence sin abrir la boca: Claves del lenguaje no verbal para persuadir a cualquier audiencia
by Jordi RecheDescubre las claves del lenguaje no verbal para cautivar y persuadir a cualquier audiencia y en cualquier situación. En el entorno personal y profesional, nuestros gestos, miradas, posturas, sonrisas... dicen más de nosotros que las palabras que pronunciamos. Porque el lenguaje del cuerpo es revelador: cómo nos sentamos, cómo caminamos, cómo saludamos..., todo comunica. Los demás interpretan y recuerdan nuestros mensajes por lo que transmitimos a nivel visual mucho más que por lo que decimos. Pero ¿sabes qué expresas con tu cuerpo? Jordi Reche te descubre los secretos del lenguaje no verbal: qué significa cada gesto, por qué lo haces y cómo interpretarlo tanto en ti mismo como en los demás. Convence sin abrir la boca te proporciona las herramientas para dominar el lenguaje corporal y conectar con tus interlocutores. Aprende a utilizarlas para ser más convincente y persuasivo, transmitir mayor seguridad y confianza, y ganar influencia entre quienes te rodean. En este libro aprenderás: * A comunicar mejor, reforzando tu mensaje hablado con tu gestualidad. * A tener mayor consciencia de tu cuerpo y a utilizarlo para sentirte mejor y para que, quienes te rodean, te vean mejor. * A leer en los gestos de los demás información que han decidido no darte u ocultarte, o simplemente a descifrar que te están mintiendo.* A descubrir que tu poder de persuasión puede aumentar de manera significativa si cuidas tu lenguaje no verbal de líder. * A conocer mejor los mensajes que envían tus fotos de perfil, tus fotos grupales o los vídeos que cuelgas en las redes. * A detectar las emociones reales de una persona, más allá de lo que nos cuente con sus palabras. * A aumentar tu capacidad de seducción y a leer en el cuerpo de las personas con las que te relacionas si estás atrayendo su atención de manera positiva o no. Reseñas:«Con el libro de Jordi puedes aprender tanto a leer a los demás como a mejorar tu comunicación de una forma amena y entretenida. Puedes usarlo siempre que quieras para mejorar y llevar tu comunicación y conocimiento a otro nivel que no muchos conocen».Jose Fernández @soycriminologo.

Empresario, conferencista y profesor universitario«En este mundo tan expeditivo Jordi nos enseña no solo cómo mejorar nuestro lenguaje corporal sino también cómo leer a quienes tenemos enfrente, esto nos ayudara luego a complementar nuestro objetivo final en una reunión o quizás en esa charla incomoda que tanto evadimos. Aquí aprenderás cómo congeniar eso que quieres decir no solo con palabras si no con todo tu cuerpo».Evelina Cabrera. Entrenadora de fútbol, coach deportivo y escritora

Conversation: A History of a Declining Art
by Stephen MillerEssayist Stephen Miller pursues a lifelong interest in conversation by taking an historical and philosophical view of the subject. He chronicles the art of conversation in Western civilization from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its apex in eighteenth-century Britain to its current endangered state in America. As Harry G. Frankfurt brought wide attention to the art of bullshit in his recent bestselling On Bullshit, so Miller now brings the art of conversation into the light, revealing why good conversation matters and why it is in decline. Miller explores the conversation about conversation among such great writers as Cicero, Montaigne, Swift, Defoe, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and Virginia Woolf. He focuses on the world of British coffeehouses and clubs in "The Age of Conversation" and examines how this era ended. Turning his attention to the United States, the author traces a prolonged decline in the theory and practice of conversation from Benjamin Franklin through Hemingway to Dick Cheney. He cites our technology (iPods, cell phones, and video games) and our insistence on unguarded forthrightness as well as our fear of being judgmental as powerful forces that are likely to diminish the art of conversation.

Conversational Narrative: Storytelling in Everyday Talk (Current Issues in Linguistic Theory #203)
by Neal R. Norrick<p>This book investigates the forms and functions of storytelling in everyday conversation. It develops a rhetoric of everyday storytelling through an integrated approach to both the internal structure and the contextual integration of narrative passages. It aims at a more complete picture of oral narrative through analysis of a wider range of natural data, including personal anecdotes told for humor, put-down stories told for self-aggrandizement, family stories retold to ratify membership and so on, as well as marginal stories and narrative-like passages to delineate the boundaries of conversational storytelling and to test the analytical techniques proposed. <p>Using transcriptions of stories from everyday talk, Norrick explores disfluencies, formulaicity and repetition as teller strategies and listener cues alongside global phenomena such as retelling and narrative macrostructures. He also extends his analysis to narrative jokes from conversation and to narrative passages in drama, namely Shakespeare's “Romeo & Juliet” and Beckett's “Endgame”.</p>
Conversational Repair and Human Understanding (Studies in Interactional Sociolinguistics)
by Jack Sidnell Makoto Hayashi Geoffrey RaymondHumans are imperfect, and problems of speaking, hearing and understanding are pervasive in ordinary interaction. This book examines the way we 'repair' and correct such problems as they arise in conversation and other forms of human interaction. The first book-length study of this topic, it brings together a team of scholars from the fields of anthropology, communication, linguistics and sociology to explore how speakers address problems in their own talk and that of others, and how the practices of repair are interwoven with non-verbal aspects of communication such as gaze and gesture, across a variety of languages. Specific chapters highlight intersections between repair and epistemics, repair and turn construction, and repair and action formation. Aimed at researchers and students in sociolinguistics, speech communication, conversation analysis, anthropology, linguistics, psychology and sociology, this book provides a state-of-the art review of conversational repair, while charting new directions for future study.
