Where to Start

There’s really no wrong place to begin, but these five pieces are a good place to start.

The Stranger Smile

The reflex you don’t notice happening on your face until someone stops returning it.

The Waiting Room Performance

What you do with your body when you know other people are watching you wait.

The Returned Hello

The small calculation behind every greeting you give back.

The Unasked Question

The thing everyone in the room is thinking and no one says out loud.

The Elevator Code

The unwritten rules you follow when in a box with strangers for thirty seconds.
