What your handshake says about you
Lesson Details
Much of what we read through body language happens in a primitive part of our brain. We may not even be aware that we’re picking up on certain signals.
This is especially evident when it comes to the handshake. A bad handshake can set off alarms in our brain that the other person is untrustworthy or unwell!
