Joe Navarro

That registers very well, and babies actually notice that as early as a few days of age.

They can recognize when a mother does a eyebrow flash.

I think within two weeks, they're definitely tuned into that.

And this smile, of course, is something that we can adapt.

So, you know, the smile when I see my daughter or my wife or a family member is probably different than when I see someone in my building that I haven't seen in a few weeks.

And so we can change our smile and we can even have a totally fake smile where it's

you know the lips are pulled to the side but the eyes aren't engaged and so forth and um and so yeah a smile can be can be faked and that's why when i wrote about the feet being so honest um that's something your feet won't do um they uh they pretty much let the world know how you how you feel about people

I was in the FBI for 25 years. I have sat with spies and enemies of this country, and I learned a lot about human behaviors. Imagine being able to read other people and circumstances faster. It gives you a tremendous advantage in your life. I want to hear everything. So one of the first things I teach is... Joe Navarro is a former FBI agent turned world-renowned body language expert.

One of the things that I found in negotiations is we, as humans, communicate quite a lot with our faces. For instance, we push this together when we don't understand something. And then the minute we hear something we don't like, blood actually begins to leave the lips and then we begin to tighten them. Another behavior is that when there's a lack of confidence, insecurities, people immediately.

So once we understand these behaviors, you can take command of any situation. Confidence. Is this something that you're born with? Or do you think confidence can be trained? It can absolutely be trained. So the FBI actually teach confidence. And there's a lot of strategies. One of them is the most powerful gesture that we can use. And you see Musk do this a lot.

So one of the things you immediately did was... Don't do that. It's a no-no.

With one word, teachings. I think I've spent my whole life teaching. Even when I was in the FBI, starting in 1984, a lot of my job was obviously being an FBI agent, investigating crimes, chasing after spies and so forth. But, you know, I hired on in 1978, but as early as 84, I was already teaching. And I love it when people get it and they see a behavior.

They understand the underpinnings, the foundation of why we do certain things. I'll give you an example. Sometimes you'll come to a horrible scene and people immediately gasp.
