Here’s a trick she taught me. Stand at the corner of some bustling street—say Fifth Avenue and Broadway or Haight and Asbury or Hollywood and Vine—and pick a mood: happy, angry, horny, scared. Set your face to epitomize said mood, then walk and watch the world transform. A smile will get you a smile. People light up like Christmas bulbs as you stroll along. Same with a scowl; it’s like lowering a dimmer switch. Turn off too many people and you can trigger a mob.
