The Science Behind Your Weird Thoughts and Habits & Your Power to Influence Others
13 Oct 2022
If you are facing a big decision, you should sleep on it first. That is common advice. But is there any validity to it? This episode begins with the answer to that question. https://www.newswise.com/articles/sleep-on-it-is-sound-science-based-advice# We all get those weird feelings – you know like we are being watched or that feeling that time is passing by faster or you have memory from your past, but you are not sure if it is true. Why do humans get these feelings, and do they serve a purpose? Here to discuss that is Dr. Jen Martin, an award-winning educator from the University of Melbourne and author of the book Why Am I Like This?: The Science Behind Your Weirdest Thoughts and Habits (https://amzn.to/3C5wgdb) We have the power to influence others in a positive way. Not to sell or persuade them but to make their lives better. And it is pretty easy to do according to Tommy Spaulding, author, speaker and former CEO of Up With People. Tommy writes about this in his new book The Gift Of Influence: Creating Life-Changing and Lasting Impact in Your Everyday Interactions (https://amzn.to/3e0FXSl). Listen as Tommy joins me with inspiring personal stories that will motivate you to make a difference in someone else’s life. There is one phrase that a good negotiator will never use because it could come back to bite you. Listen as I reveal what the phrase is and why you should avoid saying it all costs.
