There is little doubt that body language can exude confidence, anxiety, awkwardness, and charisma. Experts tell us that roughly 80 percent of the meaning of a message lies in the nonverbal expression of it.
Many years ago my father (working in sales at the time) attended a meeting where body language was the topic and he walked away from it totally disgusted with it. He was told he was crossing his arms too much and that conveyed a "closed approach". He said "but my arms hurt and when I cross them there is less pain."
At this stage in my life I have some of the same aches and I get it completely.

Why do you think such 'magical thinking' remains as prevalent as it does given we have much more access to information than we used to?
