This document discusses how facial expressions and body language can influence perceptions and communication. It notes that facial expressions are innate but can be changed. It encourages mirroring another's body language to build trust, as this activates unconscious brain regions related to social mimicry. Specific behaviors are examined like smiling, walking style, hand gestures, eye contact and posture that can positively or negatively impact how one is received. The importance of tone of voice, energy level and appearance are also highlighted for making good first impressions.

In this inflated stance, few larger species would be tempted to attack it and risk almost certain injury. Although puffer fish are unable to swim effectively in this position, the strategy is a deliberate antipredator action; instead of swimming, the fish drifts with the ocean current. Standing erect, swelling up you chest to make yourself look BIG may have some benefits.
