Gestures
Gestures inform and influence
others, and are messages that suggest closeness or openness, alert
or invitation. The most important ones are spontaneous gestures,
because they are unconscious. Gestures are like red and green lights,
and if we learn to read them in others and control them in ourselves,
we have a big advantage.

we live. For example, smiling, which is generally considered something
spontaneous, is a behaviour learned when we were infants, because
to smile brought certain immediate positive consequences.
