Cues

Outline

Cues (2022) explains how people communicate through small signals, such as facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, and word choice. Vanessa Van Edwards shows how these cues shape whether others see us as warm, competent, and trustworthy, and offers practical techniques for sending the right signals and reading others more accurately. The book helps readers become more charismatic and confident communicators.
