Brains rule the world, so it’s important to keep yours healthy. Brains run everything; the stock market, huge corporations, the mom-and-pop shops down the street. Your brain governs everything you do: how you think, how you feel, how you act, how you get along with other people. In my work as a physician, psychiatrist and educator, I strive to spread the message that if your brain works right, you work right.

Years ago, in the middle of my comedy career, I was in New York City driving a rental car that kept breaking down. It was 98 degrees, the air conditioning didn’t work, and sweat was pouring from my body. To make matters worse, I was in the world’s biggest traffic jam and already 45 minutes late for a very important audition. I started to feel an avalanche of negative emotions building up, putting me in a bad mood.

Remember the White Rabbit from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (“Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!”)? Take away the long ears, swap in something a bit spicier than “Oh dear,” and you’ve got me. Well, I’m sick of my always-late rabbit habit. Not just because it stresses me out. Not just because it makes other people mad (you should see the hairy eyeballs when my daughter and I straggle into her Saturday-morning music class).

People tend to overestimate their ability to read others’ faces or body language when determining if someone is trustworthy, psychologists say. Practiced liars can be experts at genuine-seeming eye contact and gestures. But as unreliable as body language is , it might still be a powerful factor in trust. We’re more prone to like or help people who mimic our nonverbal behavior, psychological studies suggest.
