> Posture is a controversial subject. While it is undoubtedly important, there is a lot of pseudo-science built around it. Especially when it comes to linking posture and mindset. I don’t see a lot of exceptions to this rule. Generally, I can judge someone’s state of mind by their posture and body language. The notion that body and mind are not very much connected actually seems more controversial to me if anything. Indeed, in evolutionary time scale, speech has not been the primary mode of communication for very long. > As for looking down, I found that looking at people feet makes it easier to navigate a crowd, that's the opposite it open areas. I find it if I look people in the eye I don’t actually have to “navigate” anything.
