probably a rather strange request here

[declanh]

I am someone that likes to just simply observe other people to learn about them (yes to some people that may be weird), so what I want is a book that will tell me things I can look for in people, such as how a ballerina stands, how an anxious person acts, what a surgeons hands look like, and etc.

I apologize but I don't know how to explain my request properly, if you are willing to look for such a book for me or if you know how to find such a book please let me know. Thank you.

(If this is in the wrong forum I apologize, this is my first time on this website)

Not sure of a book that explains in detail of a group's physical characteristics, but what comes to my mind is Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking It tells how an individual may be perceived by what and how they talk and act, or even by their countenances. And what can influence them.

As an avid poker player, I read Caro's Book of Poker Tells by Mike Caro and found that I used most of it in real life as well. I used to love hearing made-up excuses at work from my employees and already knowing that they were complete fabrications. It made the questions I needed to ask to let them hang themselves much more accessible.
