Your book cover is hand over hand.

And they're relaxed.

And it's a closed posture, but it works, right?

And so it's okay to me.

As long as your hands are relaxed, I don't care if they're closed or open.

Now, I do care about this.

So when we protect our trunk, arms crossed, yes, I do care about this.

And why is because when we are crossing like this, I know it's comfortable for some people.

What research finds is two things.

One is we look more closed off.

So we never want to look closed off.

But second, they found that when people are trying to be creative or strategic, they literally cannot generate as much ideas when they are like this.

Humility hands, open posture, holding a drink, typing at a computer, taking notes.

Anything else but that.

Anything else.

So I love props.

So the way that I don't cross my arms, because I actually like to cross my arms.

I know.

But actually if you're thinking or processing, cross away, right?

If you need to like take a minute, take a step back, it's a great way to break.
