I would recommend reading some books, but there are barely any body language books that have any form of actual scientific validity and aren't just people mostly making it up as they go along.

This is a good book on the topic of body language. It doesn't say how to read body language, but how scientists would go about using body language in experiments, what works and what doesn't. It is very well sourced and you will quickly realise that the majority of body language claims made by people are completely false.
This particular book includes facial expressions, vocal expression, proxemics, kinesics and eye gaze as its focus. It also discusses how these fields can be applied in interpersonal communication, education, mental illness, deception detection and relationship analysis.
It is a must read for people who want to learn more about the science that drives body language research.
