GESTURES If you know your subject thoroughly, and believe in it with your heart, good news are to come! Gestures will become automatic, almost instinctive. Then, the only selftutoring you need to do is study yourself on videotape to sort out the weak gestures from the strong ones. You'll see them, don't worry. What are examples of "weak gestures"? · Fiddling with your spectacles. · Playing with a pen or paper clip. · Reaching in your pocket and unconsciously jiggling the change there. · Repeatedly patting your hair, scratching your head, pulling on an ear, buttoning and unbuttoning a coat. · Frequently clearing your throat. · Using any single gesture over and over and over again. Why are these bad? In a single word, they are distracting. They distract the audience's attention from your message. On the other hand, strong, forceful, and complementary gestures strengthen your presentation.
to visit a society where that particular form has not been felt, or a historical period in which it was unknown. Professor Wilbur Schramm made such a tactical move in stydying Television in the Lives o f Our Children. He found areas where TV had not penetrated at all and ran some tests. Since he had made no study of the peculiar nature of the TV image, his tests were of "content" preferences, viewing time, and vocabulary counts. In a word, his approach to the problem was a literary one, albeit unconsciously so. Consequently, he had nothing to report. Had his methods been employed in 1500 A.D. to discover the effects of the printed book in the lives of children or adults, he could have found out nothing of the changes in human and social, psychology resulting from typography. Print created individualism and nation alism in the sixteenth century. Program and "content" analysis offer no clues to the magic of these media or to their subliminal charge.

equate it with who they are. You can just as easily identify with a “problematic” body and make the body's imperfection, illness, or disability in to your identity. You may then think and speak of yourself as a “sufferer” of this or that chronic illness or disability. You receive a great deal of attention from doctors and others who constantly confirm to you your conceptual identity as a sufferer or a patient. You then unconsciously cling to the illness because it has become the most important part of who you perceive yourself to be. It has become another thought form with which the ego can identify. Once the ego has found an identity, it does not want to let go. Amazingly but not infrequently, the ego in search of a stronger identity and can and does create illnesses in order to strengthen itself through them. FEELING THE INNER BODY Although body-identification is one of the most basic forms of ego,
Your spine ends in the back of your head. Keep you whole spine straight and aligned for better posture. 16. Don't stand too close one of the things we learned from Seinfeld is that everybody gets weirded out by a close-talker. Let people have their personal space, don't invade it. 17. Mirror - Often when you get along with a person, when the two of you get a good connection, you will start to mirror each other unconsciously. That means that you mirror the other person's body language a bit. To make the connection better you can try a bit of proactive mirroring. If he leans forward, you might lean forward. If she holds her hands on her thighs, you might do the same. But don't react instantly and don't mirror every change in body language. Then weirdness will ensue. 18. Keep a good attitude last but not least, keep a positive, open and relaxed attitude. How
Much to Levin's surprise, Kitty demands that she go with him to see his brother. Once they arrive, Levin becomes extremely upset. He is sad about his brother, but also about the poor quarters and the presence of Masha, his brother's girlfriend. Levin stagnates, while Kitty expertly aids Nicholas. "Levin could not look calmly at his brother; he could not himself be natural and calm in his presence. When he went in to the sick man, his eyes and his attention were unconsciously dimmed, and he did not see and did not distinguish the details of his brother's condition. He smelled the awful odor, saw the dirt, disorder, and miserable condition, and heard the groans, and felt that nothing could be done to help. It never entered his head to analyze the details of the sick man's situation...But Kitty thought, and felt, and acted quite differently. On seeing the sick man, she pitied him. And pity in her

what you feel they will approve of. You see this with teenagers all the time. ■ MAKE NEW CHOICES All change in your outer world begins with a change in your inner world. Major changes in your inner world start happening when you change the people with whom you associate and identify.When you select a new reference group, or find yourself in a situation with different people, you unconsciously begin to change, almost in spite of yourself. This change process works quite quickly. In my speaking and travels, I have worked with countless men and women all over the country and throughout the world who have taken this advice to heart. They have deliberately changed their reference groups. They have begun associating with different people in different organiza- tions
model rated the car as faster, more appealing, more expensive-looking, and better- designed than did men who viewed the same ad without the model. Yet when Chapter 5 LIKING asked later, the men refused to believe that the presence of the young woman had influenced their judgments (Smith 8{ Engel, 1968). Although there are other examples (Bierley, McSweeney, 8{ Vannieuwkerk, 1985; Gorn, 1982), perhaps the most intriguing evidence of the way the association principle can unconsciously stimulate us to part with our money comes from a se- ries of investigations on credit cards and spending (Feinberg, 1986). Within mod- ern life, credit cards are a device with a psychologically noteworthy characteristic: They allow us to get the immediate benefits of goods and services while deferring the costs weeks into the future. Consequently, we are more likely to associate credit cards and the insignias, symbols, and logos that represent them with the positive
more, and, turning to Elizabeth, said: "Miss Eliza Bennet, let me persuade you to follow my example, and take a turn about the room. I assure you it is very refreshing after sitting so long in one attitude." Elizabeth was surprised, but agreed to it immediately. Miss Bingley succeeded no less in the real object of her civility; Mr. Darcy looked up. He was as much awake to the novelty of attention in that quarter as Elizabeth herself could be, and unconsciously closed his book. He was directly invited to join their party, but he declined it, observing that he could imagine but two motives for their choosing to walk up and down the room together, with either of which motives his joining them would interfere. "What could he mean? She was dying to know what could be his meaning?"--and asked Elizabeth whether she could at all understand him? "Not at all," was her answer; "but depend upon it, he means to be severe on us, and our
about that." His eyes narrowed. "More theories?" "Mm-hm." I chewed on a small bite of the bread, trying to look indifferent. "I hope you were more creative this time... or are you still stealing from comic books?" His faint smile was mocking; his eyes were still tight. "Well, no, I didn't get it from a comic book, but I didn't come up with it on my own, either," I confessed. "And?" he prompted. But then the waitress strode around the partition with my food. I realized we'd been unconsciously leaning toward each other across the table, because we both straightened up as she approached. She set the dish in front of me -- it looked pretty good -- and turned quickly to Edward. "Did you change your mind?" she asked. "Isn't there anything I can get you?" I may have been imagining the double meaning in her words. "No, thank you, but some more soda would be nice." He gestured with a long white hand to the empty cups in front of me. "Sure." She removed the empty glasses and walked away.
audience's attention. 317 T H E W R I T E R ' S JOURNEY - T H I R D EDITION Christopher Vogler Two lovers, friends, or allies may be attracted to one another because they complete one other, perhaps clashing at first because they possess contrasting qualities, but discovering that each needs something the other has. Unconsciously, people may seek out those whose strengths and weaknesses balance weak and strong qualities in themselves. Hero and villain may be locked together in a struggle, drawn together by cir cumstances but operating in strongly contrasting, polarized ways that show the whole range of possible human responses to a stressful situation. Nations may be drawn into polarized conflicts because of radically opposed ways of perceiving reality. 2
