Non-verbal Communications

"Don't fake it till you make it. Fake it till you become it." 









Amy Cuddy summarizes information about non-verbal communication and how body language affects how others see us. Her research on body language reveals that we can change other people's perceptions.
I agree with what she is saying but she is not talking about doing it for others, she is talking about doing it for yourself. This was my issue about her is that she is there on stage talking about her own problems rather than giving us advices. What I have learned from this video is that if you feel powerful, you become more confident, and you become happier because you are being who you really are.
In my opinion, the power of non-verbal communication are the sources of communication. As an example when we understand other's people thoughts we know how other people really feel. Every move in our body language can be judged.
Amy Cuddy ideas about how to cheat sheet to hidden thoughts is very logical. As an example for happy gestures are open palms, smile, enhanced eye contact, etc..., and for sad gestures are folded arms, hand holding up the chin, constant eye moving, etc.
In my opinion, why does non-verbal communication matters?
It is the way you look, move, listen and tell if the other person cares of what your saying, that if you are being truthful, and if that you are listening carefully about what he is saying.
