There is quite a bit of controversy wrapped around body language… Lie detection, mind reading, fortune telling… you name it; I have heard or read it. But what can we believe? Where do myth and fact part ways to help you learn a skill that is indeed viable for providing accurate information? Let’s chat a bit more about what body language really does tell you and why it is so darn telling…
To be accurate, body language will not and can not tell you the “truth” per se. It can tell you that there is incongruity between someone’s language and their actual mental state. It can give you very telling clues about someone’s internal mental state, but it cannot tell you what exactly they are thinking. So basically it is a tipping point for you, but not a tell-all.
