How to get what you want with yoru body language (David Lim, Auckland, New Zealand)

Here are some pictures of the 36th US president Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Look at his body language - it has to be one of the pushiest I have ever seen

The Johnson Treatment


According to a study done by Albert Mehrabian - a former professor of UCLA - body language makes up a vital amount of the overoll message that we communicate to others.

According to Mehrabian our communication divides into the fallowing aspects

  • 7% - words
  • 38% - tone of voice
  • 55% - body language.

I’d say that president Johnson was pretty good in the body language category :twisted:
