We think we gesture as a result of an idea, a thought or an impulse. Wrong. The unconscious brain is faster at moving our body than our conscious thoughts. That's why planned gestures don't work. People can sense that they're not genuine. Real ones come at the same time or before a statement. False ones are too slow. The body has the first word and the last. We believe the body language first and foremost, whatever the words (later) say.
