reading body language correctly is an intuitive skill.
the best way to develop this skill is to practice meditation, then your ability to read body language emerges naturally as a side-effect of meditation.

if you just read a book and memorize all the info and try to apply it, you'll probly get it wrong a lot and miss a lot of things.
