Mark Bowden is an English author on body language and human behavior.[1] His techniques have been used by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.[2]
His work is derived from evolutionary psychology, behavioral psychology and embodied cognition.[3][4] One claim by Bowden is GesturePlane System, or the specific use of open palm hand gestures in what he coins as the "TruthPlane"[5][6][7] (the horizontal plane at navel height on the human body) to create feelings of trust, credibility, and confidence when communicating. This was described in his 2010 book, Winning Body Language.[8]
He is also the President of The National Communication Coach Association of Canada.[9]
