Prologue
While browsing for a topic for this project, something caught my attention: I read the more than 60% of all communication is done trough non- verbal communication (body language).This is how I became interested and invested in writing about this.

Body language is as extensive topic with hurdles of information on what each movement means that’s why this project is more focused on how it can impact our lives, personal relationships, business and even politics.
