Have you seen those crazy videos? The ones that decode people’s body language while they are being interviewed. The experts call it the science of body language.
Yes, of course, we all express fear, anger, and laughter by using facial expressions and other body movements. But these experts have gone way further and tied the body language to what we actually say and how we say it. This is supposed to reveal what we are really saying and thinking!

Welcome to the world of non-verbal communication where a mere tic or blink of an eye, movement of the head may condemn you for the rest of your life. This is the mysterious world of body language.

The most popular victims so far are:-
- Donald Trump
- Joe Biden
- Prince Andrew.
- Tara Reade
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
