1
We spend $450 billion on beauty products every single year,
2
endlessly scrolling through filtered faces on Instagram and trying to match a beauty standard that's literally physically impossible to reach.
3
And yet some of the most magnetic people in history didn't fit the conventional beauty standards of their time at all.
4
Think of people like Marilyn Monroe, Cleopatra, Maya Angelou.
5
And instead it was down to them mastering a few simple psychological shifts.
6
And science tells us that actually these traits are completely trainable and you can actually learn to become more magnetic.
7
If you're new here, my name's Izzy.
8
I'm a mum, a tech founder,
9
and Cambridge Train Doctor, and on this channel,
10
we explore the mindsets and strategies to help you create a life that you love.
11
When it comes to being magnetic,
12
the people who have truly masked this art usually make others around them feel both seen and also more alive.
13
So today, we're walking through the psychology behind real magnetism
14
and six simple shifts in each category that make you instantly more attractive from the inside out.
15
And these are shifts that I've experimented with in my own life,
16
and honestly for me, number five really changed the game.
17
And to accompany this video,
18
I've created a completely free set of exercises for each section,
19
so if you'd like to check it out,
20
I've left a link in my description down below.
21
Without further ado, let's dive in.
22
So what exactly is magnetism?
23
I like to think of it this way.
24
Magnetism is the felt experience of being in the presence of someone who makes your nervous system feel safe,
25
your sense of self feel significant,
26
and your spirit feel more alive.
27
And we naturally want to be around people who make us feel this way
28
because it feels great to feel seen and to feel alive.
29
When we make someone feel seen we make them feel witnessed,
30
accepted and like they matter.
31
And the alive piece is this contagious spirit and joy and connection.
32
So now let's get into the first shift.
33
Before you can be magnetic and present with others you actually have to be present with yourself.
34
And that's because presence is physical, psychological and spiritual.
35
And so this is all about how you inhabit your body and mind and move through space.
36
And this stems from the fact that any connection with others needs to start with actually you being connected to yourself.
37
Present in your body, relaxed,
38
comfortable, unhurried, confident, no rushing here.
39
This means that we're starting from a place that we're here for ourselves,
40
not to manage how others perceive us.
41
Marilyn Monroe is one of the most studied examples of physical presence.
42
At the time she wasn't considered conventionally beautiful,
43
but she redefined what beauty meant just by the way that she held herself.
44
She was known for entering rooms slowly, deliberately, with complete ease.
45
No rushing, no performance anxiety.
46
Director Billy Wilder once said
47
that she had the ability to make the camera feel like it was the only thing in the room.
48
And that doesn't come from your face or the way that you look,
49
it actually comes from the quality of your presence.
50
One story that I love is the potato sack story,
51
where a journalist described one of her dresses as tacky
52
and vulgar and that she would have been better served wearing a potato sack.
53
And so instead of getting defensive or embarrassed by the criticism,
54
She actually leaned into it with humour and self-assurance,
55
where she actually wore a potato sack and did a photo shoot with it,
56
and she looked incredible.
57
The way that she held herself,
58
the way that she responded to the situation,
59
actually turned this into a huge win for her.
60
And so through doing this,
61
she literally proved that she could look great wearing literally a potato sack.
62
And if you look at the pictures of her photo shoot,
63
her posture, the way that she holds herself,
64
hands on hips, shoulders back,
65
head high, smiling, confident, comfortable,
66
relaxed, open body language, this is exactly embodying presence.
67
And so next time that you enter a room,
68
take a breath before you go in and enter it with presence and intention.
69
And this realization actually really helped me when I was struggling with social anxiety when entering a room,
70
feeling a little bit nervous coming into a room.
71
I would just stop, pause,
72
take a deep breath into my belly,
73
and then remind myself that I can actually move slowly.
74
There is no rush.
75
Shoulders back, head up, and take a moment to actually take in the room when you enter it and look around,
76
see okay who is where,
77
and really knowing that you you are here for yourself.
78
You're not here to put on a show for others or perform for anybody else.
79
In the biggest meta-analysis ever done on power poses,
80
including around 10,000 people, researchers found that whenever participants took power or upright postures,
81
they didn't only feel better,
82
but they were actually more confident than if they shrunk themselves or were hunched over.
83
And it didn't matter whether you were a 50 year old man in the US
84
or a woman in her 20s in Hong Kong,
85
because these findings were true for both men and women of all ages,
86
literally across the world, across cultures.
87
In the definitive book of body language,
88
communication experts Alan and Barbara Pease painstakingly trawled through literally thousands of recorded sales negotiations from the and 70s and 80s.
89
And they found that in these face-to-face business deals,
90
body language made up between 60 to 80% of the communication that was happening.
91
They also found that it only takes four minutes for someone to form about 80% of their opinion of you.
92
And so much of this comes from this sense of presence.
93
And the second shift is attunement.
94
Attunement is the skill of tuning your attention to another person in real time so that they feel accurately seen,
95
heard, and emotionally met through your presence.
96
And so only from a place of being truly present in yourself Can you then actually attune to somebody else?
97
And there are a few behaviors that help you to embody this sense of attunement.
98
Firstly, no rushing to fill awkward moments.
99
It's not your responsibility to manage the emotions of others.
100
The next thing is to make eye contact.
101
Psychologists found that whenever a stranger actually looks directly at you in the eye,
102
you actually tend to feel closer and more similar to them.
103
Just a note here, this is not meant to be a scary, like, murderer stare.
104
This is meant to be a warm gaze where you're really seeing them.
105
The third shift is to be interested, not just interesting.
106
The most magnetic people aren't trying to impress you just by being interesting.
107
They're actually genuinely interested in you too.
108
This is the central insight from Dale Carnegie's classic book,
109
How to Win Friends and Influence People,
110
which completely changed the way that I view relationships and communication when I first read it.
111
And it's backed by everything in the warmth, competence literature.
112
And speaking of books and literature,
113
even if you've read a book like,
114
let's say, How to Win Friends and Influence People,
115
you don't always remember the bits that you actually want when you need them.
116
And so, for example, when prepping for this video,
117
even though I've read Dale Carnegie's original book at least two times from cover to cover,
118
to refresh my memory on the key points,
119
I actually turned to this guide from Shortform,
120
who are kindly sponsoring today's video.
121
If you want to check them out,
122
I've put a link in the description down below where you can get a free trial and $50 off the annual plan.
123
Essentially, Shortform is a digital library of super-powered guides to thousands of non-fiction books,
124
and one way that I use it is that if I'm about to create content,
125
film, or I'm writing an outline,
126
I can super easily search up a book in Shortform,
127
and within seconds, I've already got the quickfire summary right in front of me.
128
As you can see here,
129
there's a one pager which gives you the big picture of Carnegie's book in under 10 minutes.
130
And then if you want the specifics,
131
you can go in chapter by chapter with extra content,
132
commentary, and even exercises to really consolidate those concepts and hammer them home.
133
All of the content on Shortform is curated by their team of human editors and writers.
134
So it's quite a significant step up from your average AI generated summary.
135
And I'm someone who loves having a great structure,
136
which you might have noticed if you've seen some of my videos.
137
And every guide in short form is very well organized.
138
And so here it's sectioned by fundamentals,
139
likability, arguments, feedback, which meant that I was able to dive right into the exact parts that I needed.
140
And I ended up saving a whole bunch of time versus
141
if I had had to go back to the original book and tried to find any of my notes on that.
142
Essentially, I love short form and what they do.
143
And so if you'd like to try them out,
144
I've left a link in the description down below.
145
And that will give you a free trial and $50 off of the annual plan.
146
So now let's get back into the video.
147
And this was one of my key takeaways from Dale Carnegie's book.
148
Imagine that everyone you meet has an invisible sign above their head that says make me feel important,
149
and not through flattery but through genuine attention and curiosity.
150
And Carnegie wrote
151
that you can make more friends in two months by becoming
152
interested in other people than you can make in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
153
Another way to show that someone is important to you is to use their name.
154
Carnegie wrote that a person's name is the sweetest sound in any language to them,
155
and so if you repeat it when you first hear it and then use it naturally in conversation,
156
that signals to them that you matter.
157
And the neuroscience behind this is whenever you actually address someone by their first name,
158
their brain's cortico-subcortical auditory attention network gets activated.
159
Cortico-subcortical auditory attention network isn't the most catchy name that rolls off the tongue super easily,
160
but essentially what that means is
161
that part of our brain is dedicated to filtering any sound inputs and raising a little flag of,
162
pay attention this is interesting and so
163
when you use someone's first name then it raises this flag
164
of like oh pay attention this this is something about me this is something to do with me
165
and so it makes them feel seen
166
and it also grabs their attention the next thing is to remember small details about people follow up on things
167
that people mentioned weeks ago if you remember that oh so
168
and so actually has this event that they were planning this birthday party for one of their family members Oh,
169
maybe check in on, oh,
170
how was the birthday party?
171
And this is the highest leveraged social behavior that most people actually neglect entirely because it proves your interest was real,
172
not just performed.
173
And this proof is the difference between something that is a performed signal versus an honest signal.
174
The concept of an honest signal is something I learned about
175
when I was doing an intercalated year in biological anthropology during my Cambridge medical degree.
176
Honest signaling can be defined as when somebody's actions can honestly communicate a real trait
177
or intent because the signal is hard to fake or costly so it really reliably predicts what they actually are like.
178
A historical example of one of the most magnetic and influential women is Cleopatra.
179
And actually, Cleopatra wasn't conventionally beautiful.
180
Coins from during her reign show that she had sharp features and a long nose,
181
which at the time was not the beauty standard.
182
And I know beauty standards are changing all the time and they're a little bit arbitrary,
183
but yet two of the most powerful men at the time,
184
Julius Caesar and Mark Antony,
185
were both captivated by her and fell in love with her.
186
And beyond that, she held political power for decades through her charisma and intelligence.
187
Cleopatra spoke nine languages, and this wasn't because she had to,
188
but because she chose to speak to every foreign dignitary in their own language.
189
This is the ultimate honor signal of saying,
190
I see you, and I'm going to meet you where you are.
191
Plutarch, who was a Greek philosopher,
192
said that conversing with Cleopatra had an irresistible charm,
193
and the way that she interacted with others was naturally engaging.
194
She wasn't performing interests, she was actually educated,
195
curious, and genuinely deeply invested in the people around her,
196
and her real superpower was making people feel seen and understood and important and like they truly matter.
197
And that was the exact same insight that Carnegie had only 2,000 years earlier.
198
And there's a Chinese proverb about this,
199
which I think about a lot.
200
And it goes like this.
201
This proverb translates to when three people walk together,
202
there must be one who can be my teacher.
203
And essentially, it means that whenever you're with other people,
204
there's always something that you can learn from them.
205
And so whenever I think of this phrase,
206
it reminds me to have that beginner's mind when speaking to someone and recognizing that,
207
oh, this person has had a whole life worth of experiences and things that they've done and memories,
208
which I have almost no idea about.
209
And there is always something interesting and important about other people.
210
The second section is about making people feel alive.
211
The first shift here is to lead with warmth,
212
because most people wait to see if someone likes them before opening up.
213
But magnetic people flip the script and turn it on its head because they lead with warmth.
214
They assume connection and then they let the other person catch up.
215
So walk into a room assuming that people like you and leading with liking them back.
216
And this isn't actually naive,
217
it's a strategic emotional choice to lead and influence that dynamic.
218
Studies have found that warmth is the primary dimension that people assess you on.
219
Before they evaluate your competence,
220
your intelligence, or your status,
221
they're asking one key question,
222
is this person's intent towards me good?
223
And so one experiment that I ran was shifting my interactions with people from just a like polite acknowledgement,
224
which was my previous, to actively giving warm energy a smile and greeting them.
225
And I noticed that people immediately responded to warmth with more warmth.
226
And actually they want to be friendly and have connection.
227
You just have to go first.
228
Something that really helped me to train this muscle was having a regular compassion and loving kindness meditation practice.
229
And this is backed up by research where even just a
230
couple of minutes of loving kindness meditation can boost your feelings of social connection,
231
empathy, and positivity towards others.
232
It helps to rewire your default orientation towards warmth, compassion, and goodwill.
233
And that internal shift actually shows up subtly in your face,
234
your body language, your voice, without you even trying.
235
And this changed the game massively for me.
236
The second thing here is to be vulnerable and imperfect.
237
Because I used to think that if only I was flawless and perfect,
238
then people would like me and accept me.
239
Until I realized that this actually wasn't the case at all and is actually the opposite.
240
Times where I have tried to pretend like I had it all together ended up feeling more distant than
241
when I shared my imperfect, messy humanity and mistakes.
242
Because while perfection is impressive,
243
it can also either be intimidating or just keep people distant.
244
So remember when Jennifer Lawrence famously fell up the stairs
245
while accepting her Best Actress Oscar back in 2013 and that became an internet moment?
246
This is an example of the pratfall effect in action,
247
where they found that making small mistakes like spilling a coffee makes competent people appear more attractive precisely
248
because it shows that they are human.
249
And another thing here is that vulnerability signals security,
250
because only someone who truly feels safe and secure in themselves can afford to show those imperfections.
251
And that paradox is part of what makes it magnetic.
252
This doesn't mean oversharing or trauma dumping or being self-deprecating all the time or intentionally falling and spilling your coffee everywhere.
253
It actually just means being authentic and human in the small moments.
254
The third piece of aliveness is passion.
255
So in case you didn't know,
256
my husband, Ali, is absolutely obsessed with Harry Potter fanfiction.
257
And people kind of love this and find this interesting.
258
People who are genuinely lit up by something are more compelling to be around and actually just make us feel alive.
259
Because this passion is contagious.
260
And as humans, we love to feel brought to life.
261
Maya Angelou once said that people will forget what you said,
262
people will forget what you did,
263
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
264
And this is what aliveness actually looks like.
265
It's not about just having a hobby for a day,
266
but it's the accumulated energy of a life fully lived.
267
And you actually can't fake that.
268
Biographer Alex Haley once wrote about Maya Angelou that when she walks into the room,
269
you know she's there.
270
It's a palpable thing.
271
And that wasn't about how she looked.
272
It was actually about the life force and passion that she carried.
273
Once when she was interviewed on Oprah,
274
she was asked about this presence with which she walks into a room,
275
which she has become famous for.
276
And she responded, yes, all of my history as an African-American woman,
277
as a Jewish woman, as a Muslim woman,
278
I'm bringing everything that I ever knew,
279
everything good, strong, kind, and powerful.
280
I bring it all with me into every situation.
281
And so when I walk into a room,
282
people know that somebody has come in.
283
They just don't know that it's 2,000 people.
284
And there was a blog post that I once read which beautifully paraphrased Angelou's approach.
285
When you walk into the room with every positive word that anybody's ever said to you,
286
with every gentle hand that's ever laid rest on your body,
287
you walk into the room with every piece of art that has ever inspired you,
288
you walk into the room with every song that you love.
289
You walk into the room with your great-grandma's hands and your great-grandpa's determination.
290
You walk into a room with all of that and people will say that you have charisma.
291
Because it's this reminder that each one of us sitting here right now,
292
we are the product of an entire life.
293
So many people and interactions who have built us into the person that we are today.
294
And every time we walk into a room,
295
whether we recognize it or not,
296
we are walking into that room,
297
carrying all of this, bringing all of this with us.
298
And so this redefines charisma as not just a trick or a technique,
299
it's actually something accumulated through a life fully lived and a presence built from everything that you've absorbed,
300
suffered, loved, learned, and decided for yourself.
301
So it almost doesn't matter what the passion specifically is.
302
Someone who talks about their passion for 14th century ceramics with
303
genuine excitement is more magnetic than someone who doesn't have anything that brings them alive at all.
304
And so having these genuine interests,
305
intellectual pursuits, or other things like hobbies give you this texture and depth and conversational energy.
306
I actually made a whole video about hobbies if you wanna check it out,
307
I'll leave a link somewhere over here.
308
And so this aliveness dimension of magnetism is actually about the vitality that makes being around you feel activating rather than draining.
309
And so now that we've gone through these six shifts to make you the most magnetic version of yourself,
310
the next step is to take action.
311
So at the end of every single video,
312
I always invite you to choose at least two action points that you'd like to take forward and write them down somewhere,
313
whether that's on a notepad or in your journal or in the comments below or in an email to a friend,
314
the most important thing is execution.
315
And if you liked this video,
316
I think you'll enjoy this one right here where I share eight game-changing habits of top performers.
317
And since you've made it this far,
318
feel free to hit subscribe for more self-development videos every week to create a life that you love.
319
As always, thank you for watching,
320
take care of yourselves, and remember that the journey is the destination.
321
I'll see you in the next video.
322
Bye!

이 수업에서는 매력적인 사람의 심리학과 자신감을 키우는 방법에 대해 알아보고, 실생활에서 적용할 수 있는 몇 가지 간단한 변화를 연습할 것입니다. 이 비디오를 통해 매력을 느끼는 경험과 주변 사람들과의 연결을 더욱 깊게 만들기 위한 방법을 배울 수 있습니다. 또한, 매력을 높이는 데 도움이 되는 심리적 기법을 영어로 익히며, 영어 쉐도잉과 영어 회화 연습을 할 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다.
핵심 어휘 및 구문
- magnetism (자석 같은 매력)
- presence (존재감)
- self (자아)
- witnessed (목격된)
- significant (중요한)
- spirit (정신, 영혼)
- connection (연결)
- confidence (자신감)
연습 팁
이 비디오에서는 온화하고 안정된 톤으로 진행되므로, 영어 발음 교정을 위해 천천히 따라하는 것이 중요합니다. 각 문장을 반복하기 전에 몇 초의 간격을 두고 원 문장을 들어보세요. 이렇게 하면 표현의 감정과 억양을 정확히 캐치할 수 있습니다. 비디오에서 제시된 방법들을 사용하여 shadow speech를 할 때는 특히 느린 리듬을 유지하며 자연스럽게 발음하도록 노력하세요. 그리고 가능하다면, 자신이 발음한 것을 녹음해 보며 피드백을 주는 것도 좋은 연습 방법입니다. 향후 유튜브 영어 공부를 할 때는 이러한 기법들을 잊지 말고 활용해 보세요.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
