How To Analyze People. Body Language.
Imagine being able to know what the people you interact with are thinking without them having to tell you, knowing if they are lying to you, understanding their true intentions, if someone likes you or not, if they have a positive or negative opinion of you, and even anticipating what someone is about to do. As incredible as it may seem, these and many other things can be achieved if you know how to read and interpret people's non-verbal language. This is possible. With the right knowledge, you can begin to develop this ability, especially due to the difficulty of simulating and having complete control over body language, such as gestures, postures, and actions that we make with our bodies.The practical benefits of knowing how to read non-verbal language are enormous. Not only does it allow you to deduce people's thoughts, feelings, intentions, and attitudes, but it also helps you to be more aware of your own use of non-verbal language and thus be able to optimize it to become a more effective communicator, more confident, and even use it to your advantage. Normally, we don't pay attention to what our bodies reflect, and for that same reason, we don't have the ability to read others. I invite you to explore this powerful idea and to recognize the huge potential that this knowledge can bring to your life.

With the progress of time, up to the present day, the art of war has become increasingly subtle and difficult to identify.

Billion Dollar Whale
Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune, this "thrilling" (Bill Gates) New York Times bestseller exposes how a "modern Gatsby" swindled over $5 billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs in "the heist of the century" (Axios). Now a #1 international bestseller, Billion Dollar Whale is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" (Publishers Weekly), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history. In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude--one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system. Over a decade, Low, with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, siphoned billions of dollars from an investment fund--right under the nose of global financial industry watchdogs. Low used the money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, throw champagne-drenched parties, and even to finance Hollywood films like The Wolf of Wall Street. By early 2019, with his yacht and private jet reportedly seized by authorities and facing criminal charges in Malaysia and in the United States, Low had become an international fugitive, even as the U.S. Department of Justice continued its investigation.Billion Dollar Whale has joined the ranks of Liar's Poker, Den of Thieves, and Bad Blood as a classic harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world.
