Some people are good seducers.

They're very calm.

They know how to tell a good story.

They have charisma.

They have energy.

But there are people who do the opposite.

They just think they're being natural and they offend a lot of people.

Act like a king to be treated like a king.

Recreate yourself.

Your appearance is what people are judging you by.

You have to keep people on their heels.

They can't know everything about you.

So you have to create mystery.

If you become an astute observer,

the game will be much easier to manage.

Everything people do is a sign.

If they're showing up late or they're not returning your phone calls,

they're telling you something about themselves indirectly.

So you may not realize it,

but you sense that something is wrong about this person that you've just met.

Sometimes if people are clever,

you're not going to realize it.

Like if people are really good at the manipulation game,

you won't realize it until it's too late.

And you're not necessarily understanding because you're a good person.

When bad things happen to you in life,

you have two choices you can do.

You know how some people are good seducers.

And it can be not just for sex,

it can be socially or politically.

They're very calm.

They know how to tell a good story.

They have charisma.

They have energy.

their face lights up they know how to say the right things

and they attract you right

so a seductive person is self-aware they're self-aware of their body language you know the clothes

that they wear of how they talk okay

but there are people who do the opposite they say the

wrong things they do the wrong things they dress the wrong way they take you to the wrong places they repel you.

They are anti-seductive.

Nobody wants to be around them, right?

And so what are the qualities that make a person anti-seductive?

So one of them are people who talk too much,

who are always bragging, who always have a story to tell.

People who moralize, who tell you you're wrong.

This is what you need to do.

This is what's good.

This is what's bad.

The anti-seductive person has no self-awareness.

They enter life.

They don't look in a mirror.

They don't think about what they're saying.

They just think they're being natural and they offend a lot of people.

You have to keep people on their heels.

They can't know everything about you.

And what I said is,

disappear for a couple weeks.

Make people talk about you.

Make people wonder, why is she not posting as much?

Why are we not seeing what she's wearing in the morning and having for breakfast and all these other things?

If they know everything about you,

it's human nature that you become too familiar

and they're not interested in you anymore it's a certain point

so you have to create mystery you think of doing something

that's going to surprise the other person now nobody knows you

completely your husband doesn't know every single thing about you he

didn't know you before you got married he didn't know all your previous boyfriends

and everything so if you give him a sense of you show him something that he didn't know about before He goes,

wow, I was taking her for granted.

I wasn't, you know, I think I knew everything about her.

She showed me something that surprised me.

Maybe the surprise isn't something good,

but at least it like keeps him on his heels.

It makes him think about you.

Because in a relationship, people will take you for granted after a couple of months, right?

They were so interested in you in the beginning,

and now it's kind of dwindling.

They take you for granted because they think they know everything about you.

if you surprise them, if you say something different,

if you take them to a place where they never thought that you would take them to,

if you dress a certain way that seems a little bit out of character,

not completely out of character,

go, wow, you need to do that in a relationship constantly.

Otherwise, it's just going to fizzle.

All the energy is going to go out of it.

The most important skill that you can have

is knowing how to observe people and not be

so wrapped up in yourself and be outer directed so

when you're in a situation like you've entered a job for

the first time your tendency is to be all insecure

and think did I say the wrong thing am I doing am I dressing correctly am I fitting in?

And you're not observing.

You're thinking about yourself, right?

And the whole game is to be observing.

It's like you're observing the world,

the different games that are going on,

what people are doing, what they're like,

what their tastes are like,

100

what the boss is like.

101

There are all these levels of power going on.

102

You want to get outside of yourself and simply observe, right?

103

And not be thinking about yourself as much.

104

If you become an astute observer of the people around you,

105

the game will be much easier to manage, right?

106

You will know this is a person who is insecure.

107

I cannot offend them.

108

I cannot say the wrong thing to them.

109

This is a person who's strong and secure.

110

I want to be with them.

111

I want them to mentor me.

112

You want to be able to take criticism from other people.

113

In other words, be less insecure and be more kind of outer motivated and paying attention to the people around you.

114

Everything people do is a sign.

115

So if they're showing up late at meetings or they're not returning your phone calls,

116

it's not some innocent event.

117

It means something.

118

It's coming from some place within them.

119

They're telling you something about themselves indirectly.

120

If their desk is a mess,

121

right, they can't organize their desk.

122

It's a sign of something else going on inside them.

123

You can sense people's tone,

124

not just in what they say,

125

but in how they write something right there's a lack there's

126

not this usual kind of polite tone there's a little bit of a sharpness there's a word

127

or two that indicates that they're upset they're angry every little thing

128

that people do is a sign you're not paranoid

129

because it's actually a lot of fun and you're decoding what's going on

130

because people wear masks they smile

131

and they say i love your ideas cody you're brilliant you're wonderful

132

but inside they're thinking something else and you have to be able to pick up all of these signs.

133

Nonverbal communication and it's extremely important skill to develop and what

134

that means is people can say anything they want to with words.

135

In fact they generally do they never really exactly say what's

136

on their mind that's how it is in the social world

137

because if you said what was exactly on your mind you would be offending a lot of people right.

138

So we

139

don't ever really say exactly what we feel

140

but our body language does not lie it's very difficult to

141

lie with your body language even the finest actors in the

142

world find it very difficult to lie with their voice

143

because the voice reveals people's feelings right it's like watching a movie

144

and observing people and understanding them we're very good at picking these kind of cues up so

145

you may not realize it but you sense that something is wrong about this person that you've just met

146

this is something

147

that in the i talk a lot about in the art

148

of seduction i've dealt with with women who've written me back they had a gut feeling

149

that this man

150

that they met was wrong there was something bad about him they got a bad feeling from it

151

but what happens is you don't trust that feeling and then

152

because you're not as you say in our culture it's not something that we value And then we go on,

153

we have a relationship, and then we find the hard way out that our original gut instinct was the correct one.

154

So you want to trust these feelings.

155

They're very valuable.

156

We are animals.

157

We think we're all so intellectual.

158

We've got our frontal cortex that governs everything.

159

But inside, we operate on emotions,

160

on instincts, on feelings, on sensations.

161

It's a nonverbal form of communication.

162

It comes out in people's gestures and how they move, how they stand.

163

You're talking to them, but their feet are pointing in a different direction.

164

They're not so interested in you.

165

Their eyes reveal if they're really listening to you or not.

166

You can understand exactly what people are thinking.

167

But you have to do this to be able to reach this kind of level of understanding.

168

You have to shut off your own mind.

169

You have to shut off all your internal chatter.

170

and you have to observe and you have to see,

171

you know, exactly what, try and read and detect what that particular sign means.

172

And you won't believe how often you are very accurate with it.

173

You can detect people's resentment, people's envy.

174

It's just that you're not paying attention and you don't value this form because we're so verbal.

175

We think everything has to do with words, but it doesn't.

176

Sometimes if people are clever,

177

you're not going to realize it.

178

Like if people are really good at the manipulation game,

179

if they know how to seduce you,

180

how to wrap their words and make you seem like they're just wonderful,

181

that they're out for your best interest.

182

If they're really good at it,

183

you won't realize it until it's too late.

184

You need to identify these people before they enter your life or before you start listening to them.

185

You need to be able to identify the manipulative types before they start charming,

186

before they start enchanting, before they start wrapping you up in their dramas.

187

Because if you don't, if you fall into that trap,

188

it's going to probably be too late.

189

Most people aren't such good manipulators.

190

And you can sense it, right?

191

They're very passive-aggressive.

192

They say things that they want to get from you,

193

but there's a subtext involved, right?

194

And a lot of the bad manipulators, you can feel it.

195

You have an intuitive sense.

196

You can understand that something in their body language,

197

something in how they speak.

198

It doesn't seem sincere.

199

But the main thing is to be able to sense people's character,

200

to be able to identify the types of people out there.

201

So your task is to be able to see through these people.

202

Appearances matter so much in this power game how you present yourself,

203

how people see you, you know,

204

act like a king to be treated like a king, right?

205

Recreate yourself.

206

Your appearances is what people are judging you by.

207

So at the same time,

208

you have to control your appearances so people see you as powerful,

209

but you have to see like a laser through other people's masks,

210

through other people's games that they're playing,

211

through the appearances they're trying to create.

212

So the great manipulators out there,

213

right, they have signs, they're not perfect.

214

They give little clues, little crumbs that reveal that they're trying to play this kind of game on you.

215

Because most of the master manipulators are toxic narcissists,

216

and you have to be able to identify them before they enter your life.

217

The people who are really,

218

really nasty and evil at the game of power.

219

They've been learning this from a very early age.

220

They probably had troubled childhood.

221

They've been wounded in their childhood, right?

222

And they learn from the age of six or seven or eight.

223

This is how you get people.

224

This is how you string people along.

225

This is how you get attention.

226

This is how you be dramatic.

227

This is what you say.

228

This is how you get mommy and daddy to pay attention to me.

229

This is how, you know,

230

you get the teacher to like me.

231

They've learned this step by step at an early age by the time they enter the work world in 22.

232

They've been dealing doing this in high school they've been doing that at college or wherever

233

they're getting better and better at it.

234

All of the books are so sweet

235

and sugary telling you self-help books you know just cooperate this is how to be a good human being

236

and you enter the work world and nobody prepared you for the slap

237

that you have from people being so nasty and political

238

and ego-ridden nobody taught me this how do you defend yourself

239

in a world where some people are willing to do things

240

that you would never consider doing right well you have to become strategic

241

and you have to understand

242

that you don't have to do you don't have to be evil you You don't have to lower yourself to the level.

243

You don't have to play fire to hit fire with fire.

244

You can do different things to upset them,

245

to be strategic, to deter them from hurting you,

246

etc. But the fact that there are asymmetries of it,

247

there are people who are willing to do things that you're not willing to do,

248

is the source of a lot of problems and pain in your life and suffering.

249

And you're going to suffer throughout your life because of that.

250

You know those toxic narcissists?

251

And so, you know, you're constantly being hit by things and you're not necessarily understanding because you're a good person.

252

You don't necessarily register all the dark things that they're doing until it's too late.

253

There's a difference between narcissism and true self-love.

254

So if you learned at an early age,

255

three or four or five years old,

256

that you're actually a good person,

257

that you're worthy of love and affection from other people,

258

you know, that you have skills and abilities as you get older that are actually worthwhile,

259

that will contribute, right?

260

Then you have an anchor in your life.

261

You have a degree of love of yourself, a confidence.

262

So every time later in life where you have blows,

263

where people hit you with doubts,

264

but they try and sabotage you.

265

They try and insinuate that maybe you're not so good,

266

or they play these games that we're talking about.

267

You're going to get this blow,

268

and it's going to depress you,

269

and it's going to lower you down.

270

But what happens is if you have that level of self-love that you developed at an early age,

271

you will rise back up.

272

You'll start going, no, it's not true that I'm this way.

273

It's not true what they're trying to tell me.

274

You know, I'm actually worthy.

275

And I know it because I've done things in my life.

276

I've accomplished this.

277

I've helped this other person.

278

It raises you back up.

279

It's like a thermostat that you have inside of yourself.

280

Okay.

281

So the degree that you have,

282

that love will bounce you back up.

283

And you'll be able to tell yourself at first their doubts kind of hit you because we're all human.

284

But then you go, no, it's crap.

285

They're playing a game.

286

I'm not going to fall for that.

287

But if you were wounded very early on and you never developed

288

that self-love and you have a lot of doubts about yourself already

289

and you're insecure and you're riddled with like bullet holes

290

and wounds inside of yourself where things can leak through and people tell you those things,

291

it's going to bring you down and you're going to not rise back up.

292

You rise back up a little bit,

293

then another person will hit you.

294

You keep going down, down, down.

295

You get depressed and you'll find it very difficult to rise back up.

296

So the way you have to handle it in life,

297

if you're in your 20s or 30s or 40s or even in your 50s,

298

you have to develop it.

299

You have to go back and go,

300

I'm beating up on myself.

301

I have all these insecurities.

302

They're effective.

303

These people are effectively manipulating them because I'm allowing them to manipulate me.

304

So when bad things happen to you in life,

305

you have two choices you can do, right?

306

This is probably the most important thing I can tell everybody out there.

307

You have two ways you can go.

308

You can blame other people.

309

You can say, oh, that evil person out there,

310

he's manipulating, she's manipulating me.

311

They're doing this, that, and the other.

312

Oh, woe is me.

313

I'm being the victim, blah, blah, blah they're evil, they're bad.

314

Okay, you do that in life,

315

you're never going to get anywhere, right?

316

You're going to always be looking for things to blame,

317

looking at external things.

318

You're never going to grow,

319

you're never going to develop.

320

The other thing is every time something bad happens,

321

you look inside of yourself and you go,

322

that person manipulated me, that narcissist got into my life and did all kinds of damage.

323

What is it about me that allowed them into my life?

324

What is it about me that was so innocent,

325

that was so stupid, that that believed the things that were saying?

326

Okay.

327

So if you're able to learn and grow from these events and look at yourself and go,

328

why was I allowing them to hit me and hurt me and instill these doubts?

329

And why didn't they affect me?

330

What's wrong with me?

331

Well, maybe I don't love myself enough.

332

Maybe I don't have enough confidence in myself.

333

How do I build that up?

334

Well, I have to go back to my childhood.

335

I have to think about the things that I've actually accomplished.

336

I have to build it up slowly, slowly, slowly.

337

And that's how you handle things.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
