This document contains a collection of links and text about body language, non-verbal communication, and impression management. It discusses how body language and tone of voice influence perceptions more than the actual words that are said. Specific body language cues are examined, like posture, hand gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, and voice tone/speed. Mirroring another's body language is suggested as a way to build trust. Overall it provides advice on being aware of one's non-verbal signals and managing the impression they give off.

- 17. Mirroring body language can be used whenever you want to create trust with somebody. The other person experiences you as being the same as them. This sameness happens on an unconscious level and it is one of the ways that humans decided who was with the tribe and who wasn't. You may have heard of the saying monkey see monkey do. This is because there are a part of the brain that copies the actions of other primates. And Yes, you are a primate too along with Gorillas, Chimpanzees and monkeys. The part of the brain that copies the actions of others are called "mirror neurons " and are located in the part of the brain called Broccas area. • As a general rule, wait around 50 seconds before following their gestures.

Editor's Notes
- #7: Cold reading is a series of techniques used by mentalists, illusionists, fortune tellers, psychics, and mediums to determine or express details about another person, often in order to convince them that the reader knows much more about a subject than they actually do.[1] Without prior knowledge of a person, a practiced cold reader can still quickly obtain a great deal of information about the subject by analyzing the person's body language, age, clothing or fashion, hairstyle, gender, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnicity, level of education, manner of speech, place of origin, etc. Cold readers commonly employ high probability guesses about the subject, quickly picking up on signals from their subjects as to whether their guesses are in the right direction or not, and then emphasizing and reinforcing any chance connections the subjects acknowledge while quickly moving on from missed guesses.
- #14: Here is a split screen of two videos of the same person. In one, he is telling a story which is true. In the other, he is telling a lie. Now we have the sound turned off. But just by looking at him, see if you can guess which is which. By the time we become adults, we're all unconscious experts at body language. Notice his eyes, his gestures, his breathing. (WATCH VIDEO...)Which one do you think he is lying in--the one of the right or the left? Okay, if you thought it was the one of the right, think about it for a moment and come up with why you thought that.If you thought it was the other one, think about your reasoning for thinking he was lying in that one.So... now that you've come up with very good rationales for your opinion, well... let me just tell you that the only liar up here is me! The guy in the video was actually reciting poetry, the same poem in fact. But because I convinced you that one was a lie, your brain pulled itself together and gave you concrete, well-thought through evidence for one or the other. You actually "saw" things differently--didn't you?
- #21: When the fish is threatened, it inflates its body by a sudden intake of a large volume of water or air, erecting its spines in the process. In this inflated stance, few larger species would be tempted to attack it and risk almost certain injury. Although puffer fish are unable to swim effectively in this position, the strategy is a deliberate antipredator action; instead of swimming, the fish drifts with the ocean current. Standing erect, swelling up you chest to make yourself look BIG may have some benefits.
