From what I've gathered so far, among other things, he's saying that people communicate unconsiously with split second expressions that are beyond control. They're involuntary. Others read these split-second expressions unconsciously, too. He also discusses a lot of other non-verbal communication behaviors, such as gestures, how we stand when we like or dislike someone, etc. He also discusses mirror neurons, which were only recently discovered- they mimic others' emotional states and are therefore important for understanding empathy. Very interesting!
