Ten Body Language Secrets

We call them secrets because so few people seem to appreciate how important they are to body language.  Each of the ten “secrets” listed below deserves a whole section but hopefully this page will provide a basic introduction.

Lies and Lying
Body Language Lying

Lies!  Humans use them so often that more than half the time they don’t even realize what they’re doing.
