Positive body language changes your attitude (态度).

Cuddy found that changing your body language to make it more positive improves your attitude because it makes a great difference to your body.

Positive body language makes you be liked more easily.

In a study, people watched soundless videos of doctors getting along with sick people. Just by studying the doctors’ body language, people were able to guess which doctors were more popular. Body language plays a big role in how you’re treated (被对待) and can be more important than your voice. Learning to use positive body language will make people like you and trust you more.
