When we communicate, words aren't the most important part of our message; they are actually the least influential part of what we say. Humans give and receive unconscious statements that express much more than the words spoken, such as facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, touch, or eye contact, to name a few.

Today, we explore the role of body language in communication, and we learn to use the ability to read unconscious expressions of emotions to convert more clients. We go through the Phineas Gage case, the accident that changed his life, and how it helped scientists understand more about brain functions and human behavior. We also talk about how hard it is to hide our feelings, which is why learning about body language is the closest tool to a lie detector we can acquire. Finally, we talk about happiness, one of the seven human emotions, and we learn to identify and recognize its authentic and sincere demonstrations.
