Author:Judi James,James Moore
Did you know that the way you eat your food will be sending subliminal messages out about your sexual habits? Or that the way you decorate your desk, could be helping your boss decide about that promotion or pay rise? We're all aware of the subtle messages of design and marketing but what about the signals you send out about yourself and your personality?
The You Code is the book that answers all these questions, uncovering the hidden meaning behind the simplest of choices. Judi James, with co-writer and journalist James Moore, pulls no punches in her addictive and entertaining book which gets to the nub of who you really are, telling you more about yourself than you ever wanted to know, as well as providing an intriguing insight into the people around you.
From your favourite TV programme to the type of coffee you drink, even down to the filling in your sandwich, The You Code is a must for anyone who wants to find out more about themselves and, more importantly, what everyone else thinks of them.
Readable, surprising and provocative
—— The TimesI really enjoyed The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris. It was published in 1967 and is often a very amusing zoological perspective on human beings. The chapter on sex is hilarious
—— KT Tunstall , IndependentStimulating
—— Arthur KoestlerThought-provoking...Morris has introduced some novel and challenging ideas
—— Natural HistoryFascinating
—— Sunday TimesI don’t think I’ve ever read a book quite so slowly… I didn’t want to miss a beat in what became an intoxicating series of revelations about not only my species but apparently about me, too. I’d never experienced a book that reached out to the reader in such a way and even now, this still holds true for The Naked Ape in that you can’t help but examine where (or even if) you fit in with Morris’s observations.
—— Ben Garrod , ObserverOriginal, provocative and brilliantly entertaining. It's the sort of book that changes people's lives
—— Sunday TimesA superb how-to book.
—— Kirkus ReviewsI rely on Stuart Diamond's negotiation tools every day
—— Christian Hernandez, Head of International Business Development, FacebookOne wishes this book could get into the hands of all the suffering children who need it
—— Washington PostThis story of unfathomable child abuse is told with remarkable wit, compassion, and courage
—— Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with ScissorsHighly articulate … Her memories are real, not recovered
—— The Times
