About The Book.
Numerous research studies and scientific articles from Harvard, JAMA, and scientists from across the world have proven that your smile can actually relieve stress, boost your mood, and release endorphins.

And now, you can MEASURE the impact of our smile on ourselves and those we work with. Our facial behaviors influence and reveal the wiring of the brain and it will radically change the way that you think, live your life, and interact with other people (source). The interactive and fun book teaches how to leverage these secrets…which are literally under your nose!
