We know that a significant amount of communication is nonverbal, but the respected experts tell us to be very careful about generalizing and analyzing that information. Perhaps star poker players, acclaimed psychics, and con men have a talent for interpreting and manipulating nonverbal cues, but don’t expect to pick up a "dictionary of gestures" and satisfy the guilt or sincerity of your husband, children, friends, enemies, or employees. The bottom line is that the science is still evolving, and is very complicated, the nonverbal reality is certainly a realm filled with more uncertainty than vice.
