How to Be Cool

Video Transcript

"The Fonz was cool. How to be cool. This is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer Girls, A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating, and host of Ask Dr. Paul. Well, how to be cool? Interesting, is it just a leather jacket? Is it the sneer? It's more than that. Cigarette bank rolled up in the sleeve? Nah. That's a part of it, but that's not all of it. What all of it is, is that elemental bad boy. You can dress in a suit, and still be a bad boy. A little bit of that isn't all bad. If you want to be cool, and you want to be, quote, unquote, the leader of the pack, be different. Being different and being bad is something else, and I'm not just talking about being bad in terms of being a criminal. I'm talking about being bad, in maybe the way you dance, or maybe the way you look at someone. It's all about body language. Ninety percent of our communication, is in body language. Sure, you can wear cool things, but guess what? It's not the things that make you cool, it's you that make the things cool. Some clown can wear a black leather jacket, and he doesn't do cool, does he? but the minute he has a different stance, the minute he has a pair of boots on, and he angles his body, because it's a body language thing. The way he stands with his thumbs in his belt. That becomes elemental leadership coolness, because you're leading, and that's what it's all about. How to be cool? Let me tell you something. How to be cool comes from within, and that elemental badness, can go a long way. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today, be your realities of tomorrow."
