Cover design for Read People Like a Book by Patrick King

Author of many works on psychology and social communication, coach Patrick King talks about the rather well-known signs—arms crossed on the chest, eye contact and eye rolling—everything that lies on the surface and cannot be hidden. But he also reveals the underlying psychology of this behavior and explains how it determines actions of those around you. In his book, King explains how to stand in the shoes of another person, go beyond your own opinion, learn to classify people and analyze specific words they say.

The cover demonstrates the reader that no matter how intricately the components of the human image are mixed, they can be easily put together into a simple and obvious composition. All you need is to know the right moves and follow the combinations.
