• We often smile and hold eye contact of the other person as we shake hand in the mean while we giveoff thousands of other unconscious signals throughour body language that other people will ‘read’ instantly and instinctively.

•

By adjusting the way we stand, move, dress andinteract we can make encounters with other humanbeings (and probably most animals too!) mucheasier and smoother.
