Insights on Reading Body Language
Reading body language involves picking up on emotional cues and overall vibes rather than following a checklist. Emotions, energy, and nonverbal cues like eye contact play a significant role in understanding people's true feelings. Actors may mimic some nonverbal cues, but the genuineness of tone in voice and authentic smiles are challenging to fake.

In this moment with best-selling author and world renowned thinker Robert Greene, he discusses the importance of body language and nonverbal communication. Robert says this form of communication is one that you cannot lie about, as we have a deeply rooted human and emotional response to it. Body language isn’t just one subtle gesture, but hundreds of different small signs, from a look, a gesture, to the complete vibe a person gives off. Even when people try to fake their body language, a good observer can always tell, from someone looking you in the eye but with their mind elsewhere, a tone of voice that reveals a persons lack of confidence, to a fake smile that is proven false compared to a genuine smile. Sometimes the clearest reveal is the micro expression someone unwillingly shows in the fraction of a second before they put on the act of who they want to appear to be.
