You already use gestures naturally. Everyone does. But most product teams rely too much on what people say—in interviews, meetings, and documents—missing a rich layer of how people think, communicate, and coordinate the world around them through the body. Body Talk teaches you to see and use gestures more intentionally, giving you practical guidance to drive human-centered product work.

Who Should Read This Book

Do you talk to users and customers, drive product design or strategy, or facilitate the teams that do? Whether you call yourself a researcher, designer, engineer, or product manager, you've probably got stories of a product or feature that seemed really promising but failed to land. Being unable to read and interpret gestures could be the reason behind that failure. If so, this book is for you.

If you're a researcher, designer, leader, educator, healthcare professional, or facilitator whose work depends on understanding people and getting things done with them, this book is for you, too. Pull up a chair and listen to what the body has to say.
