@fntime: Also, hypothetically if I were to write a report about a subject that I had to stand in front of a group of people to speak about, I myself would probably be nervous and fidgety simply because of the situation. My nervousness says nothing about the validity of my report or the information within. I don’t think it’s appropriate to discount what this man is saying simply because he shows a nervous disposition. That’s silly.

@fntime:  I'd challenge everything you said. The body is not always honest. I would wager there are plenty of people who can fake their body language. Actors, obviously, but also many in the professional world (particularly business).

@AnduinX You are wrong! What a person's body is 'saying'

is more accurate than 'words'.

This man is so filled with his ego that you can't learn to

understand anything!

Suggestion: Words are deceptive. The body is honest, even

when it's wrong!

@fntime: Many people become nervous, fidgety, and awkward when speaking in front of a large group of people. Especially when there's a camera recording their every word. If he's one of those people who aren't good with public speaking, then I would not expect his body language to appear calm and collected. IMO, it's best to focus on what he's saying, not what his body is doing.

@Walnut864Walnut you should also read the mind and the brain and also Dr. Sarno's "The Divided Mind," if you also suffer from psychosomatic symptoms.

a true genius

his life's work is about this small topic

@concordbdance

he is stating "facts" proven through neuroplasticity research, not theory, which is why he has a seated at UN conference.

[concordbdance]

I thought the SAME thing when I first seen him. I read his book brain lock and really applied it to my life and was able to overcome most of my OCD. Im still a work in progress.
