paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

SYNOPSIS: Here is the ear-opening Meta-Talk by the authors of the best-selling eye-opening How to Read a Person Like a Book. We are desperately trying to understand and be understood. No matter what we hear or say, people continually wonder "What did he say?" This completely innovative and practical book explains how our daily conversations reveal both much more and much less than is intended. To describe these "hidden meanings" beyond our ordinary talk, it introduces a new word: "meta-talk." As both speaker and listener, the reader of this "ear-opening" book will be sensitized to the subconscious meanings and motivations that threaten to distort dialogue and cause misunderstanding. He will discover that, curiously, the emptiest and most routine everyday phrases are the ones that prove richest in subliminal significance. Over 350 of them are analyzed in these pages and indexed for easy reference. They fall into such categories as "hiding the halo," "softeners," "foreboders," "downers," "pleaders." Although the term "meta-talk" is new, the idea it represents has been around for a long time. In a few revealing chapters, this book recounts the research on subverbal communication by psychologists, general semanticists and others from Aristotle to Freud to the present day. It expands and illustrates this research by exploring a wide range of human relationships in many different settings, explaining in a clear, entertaining way how each lends vital unspoken meaning to what people say.
