Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it.
Before we dive into today's episode, I first want to thank our sponsor, Therasage. Their TriLight panel has become my favorite biohacking thing for healing my body. It's a portable red light panel that I simply cannot live without. I literally bring it with me everywhere I go. And I personally use their red light therapy to help reduce inflammations in places in my body where, honestly, I have pain. You can use it on a sore back, stomach cramps, shoulder pain. ankle, red light therapy is my go-to. Plus, it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, which I also use it for.

Today, we had Vanessa Van Edwards, who I'm a huge fan of. I've been watching Vanessa's videos on YouTube forever. She is a behavioral investigator, and she started a company called The Science of People. She's also a major bestselling author. Her first book is called Captivate, The Science of Succeeding with People. She's also a body language trainer, and she specializes in science-based people skills. Her latest book is called Cues, which was amazing. And it is for anybody and everyone who wants to either read other people or really activate their strengths and make sure they're bringing them forward. She talks about what makes somebody charismatic, what makes somebody likable. how you win over anybody or influence somebody just by how you move, what you say, like how you say it. It's just, I can go on and on, but I don't want to, I'm basically like butchering this, but trust me, listen to the podcast. You're going to get so much out of it. Enjoy. On today's episode, we have Vanessa Van Edwards, who I am just smiling.
I'm grinning from ear to ear because, you guys, I have been waiting for this interview for months. Her information is so amazing. She wrote a book called Cues. Her other book was called Captivate. I like the C words. Yeah, you really do. Confidence, charisma, cues, captivation. Why is that? I don't know. They're such good words. They are good words. And we could talk all about that. You're like, she is an expert on body language, on communication. And this new book is called Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication. She talks all about signals and how to have the most impact in meetings and first impressions. It doesn't matter if you're just someone who's dating or if you are someone who is a professional.
You can literally glean anything and everything from your work. Thank you.
I'm excited to have you.
Oh my goodness. I'm so happy to be here. I've been waiting for months too. So like, I can't wait. Oh, come on. You're just saying that. I cleared my day. It was like, it's a Jennifer day. Look how good you are. This is my day. You know how to make a great first impression. I better. I wrote a book about it. More than one book. And you crush these books. Crush. No, like I said, practical information. I think that what's really helpful is a lot of the communication books. I'm an awkward person, right? Like I'm somewhere in between introvert and extrovert. I'm an ambivert. And so many of the books that I read growing up or guides I saw were written by extroverts. And I just felt so like I had to pretend to be outgoing to make a good first impression.
And so for so long, I felt like I was faking it till I made it, made it, made it. Made it. Made it. I didn't make it. I didn't made it. So fake it till you made it. Fake it till I almost made it. I was like pretending to be something I wasn't. And it was exhausting. And so I so appreciate you saying that about the books because the books are the guides that I wish I had had. Very practical.
