1
How do you solve the love depression that I talked about in the very beginning, looking at the data in your own life?
2
Now, to begin with, to do this requires risk, taking risk.
3
One of the characteristics that I find that's actually inhibiting falling in love the most,
4
and this once again gets back to the literature that I look at every single day and what I write about,
5
is that younger people, believe it or not, are actually less risk -taking than people were when they were young who are now my age.
6
And this gets a lot to the work of Jean Twenge, a wonderful social psychologist at San Diego State University,
7
who talks about how young adults are growing up much more slowly.
8
And the way that she measures that is with risk -taking behavior.
9
Now, some of it's pretty innocuous and healthy, like driving.
10
Some of it's less healthy, like drinking and using drugs, which, you know, everybody says, oh, young people, they're drinking and taking drugs more than ever.
11
No, wrong.
12
A lot less, as a matter of fact.
13
They're also less likely to fall in love.
14
They're also less likely to have sex.
15
And it has everything to do, she says, of a lower willingness to take personal risk.
16
Now, risk is funny because there's bad risks and there's good risks.
17
But risk in general is not an unhealthy thing.
18
On the contrary, that's characteristic of being an entrepreneur with your life.
19
And I don't recommend being an entrepreneur with your life by taking dangerous drugs and driving 100 miles an hour.
20
That's stupid.
21
But risks with your heart?
22
It's another matter.
23
That's the most entrepreneurial thing that you can do.
24
Years ago, not that many years ago, I was giving a speech on Capitol Hill for a bunch of Capitol Hill staffers, people in their 20s.
25
Now, for a little bit of background, Washington, D .C is the world's most dysfunctional dating market.
26
I mean, it's everybody's climbing and it's all about power
27
and it's just not a healthy way for people to fall in love, I have found.
28
And so they were really deeply interested when I was talking about this topic.
29
And I said, look, if you really want to be an entrepreneur, real entrepreneur in your life, give your heart away, take a risk.
30
That's the ultimate risk of, you know, putting at risk valuable resources in search of explosive returns.
31
That's the definition of entrepreneurship.
32
I thought it was clever anyway.
33
A couple of weeks later, a guy comes up to me on a plane and, because I'm always on a plane.
34
And he says, Professor Brooks.
35
I said, yeah he says i was at
36
that talk you gave on capitol hill about being an entrepreneur with my life
37
and to give my heart away and take a risk
38
and i said yeah he says
39
and i can't get it out of my head i said yeah he said
40
so i'm on my way right now to tell a woman
41
i've been secretly in love with for two years how i feel i'm gonna spill it
42
and i'm like dude it was only a speech you know
43
i'm not trying to ruin your life i was kind of worried about that because i'm thinking yeah i mean, this could have consequences.
44
And I said, you know, here's my email.
45
Let me know how it turns out.
46
He said, okay.
47
And I didn't hear from him, which seemed like not great.
48
Well, I did see him some months later at a party, a holiday party at the company that I was running.
49
And he showed up and he said, remember me?
50
And I said, yeah.
51
And I said, how did it go?
52
How'd it go with that woman that you were in love with?
53
And he said, he shot me down.
54
She wasn't in love with me.
55
Not at all.
56
She was in love with another guy.
57
She introduced me to him.
58
It was horrible.
59
And I was very contrite.
60
I said, I'm sorry.
61
I wasn't trying to ruin your life.
62
And he said, no, no, no. He said, the reason I came is because I wanted to thank you.
63
I said, thank me for what?
64
And he said, because, you know, that was the thing I was most afraid of in my life.
65
I mean, I just couldn't, I couldn't bear the thought of that happening.
66
And it did.
67
And I didn't die, and I'm not afraid anymore.
68
You get the point, right?
69
This makes you stronger.
70
Now, to be sure, it is unbelievably painful to be rejected.
71
I have studied the pain of social rejection.
72
The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex of the brain is designed in the limbic system to make you hate social rejection.
73
Even in little games when they put people in machines to look at the activities of their brains,
74
and they simulate rejection by having a ball -tossing game that you're looking at on a screen,
75
and two other people start excluding you from the game, it starts to feel painful in this dorsal anterior cingulate cortex of your brain.
76
Imagine when somebody says to you, you love me, but I don't love you.
77
It's going to be unbelievably painful.
78
It's intensely painful, as a matter of fact.
79
And I've talked about this kind of pain in past episodes in the past.
80
But here's the thing that's how you learn that's the only way
81
that you learn what do you learn you learn about what went wrong you learn
82
that you won't die you learn more what you're looking for you learn
83
that that wasn't the person for you and why that's why it's
84
so critically important to get into the cycle of try fail suffer Try.
85
Try again.
86
Now, I've got a lot of data on how long it actually takes for people to get over their heartbreak.
87
And the answer is usually a few months, not a few years.
88
It's very unusual that you have a breakup and it lasts years and years.
89
On the contrary, you will actually get over it sooner than you think.
90
And six weeks from now, you'll be on a date with somebody else going, I can't believe I was on.
91
I love that loser so much.
92
That's the typical thing that we actually find.
93
But you also, the learning that you get is really the big, big benefit from this.
94
There's a really interesting paper on this that, you know, a 2018 study that looked at 160 daters who were in their 20s.
95
And then they broke up around the age of 22,
96
which is the kind of the modal age to have your first big breakup of somebody that you're truly in love with, it turns out.
97
And then it asked them what they learned.
98
And it turns out that those who actually believe they learned from their breakup,
99
they had much higher relationship satisfaction subsequently and lower relationship conflict in their next relationship.
100
In other words, learn, learn, learn, do the postmortem, figure out what actually went wrong, and you will benefit from this.
101
But you have to fail as part of the process here so that you can get better.
102
That means take a risk and be willing to fail.
103
What do they learn, by the way?
104
They learn three things.
105
Here's what breakups teach you.
106
Social cognitive maturity, right?
107
That's like, I know why I behaved like an idiot and I won't do that again because I'm matured.
108
Number two is romantic agency.
109
I know what I want now.
110
And number three is coherence.
111
You all know what that is because you've been following the show.
112
That means why things happen the way they do.
113
I know why my last relationship failed and I'm going to fix those mistakes in the future.
114
You only get that from experience.
115
This is why, you know, people, they tend to do best in marriages, for example, after they've had a few breakups,
116
not 50 breakups, not 200 breakups.
117
We're talking about a few breakups.
118
It's kind of like a mature startup is the way that that works.
119
A couple of false starts along the way.
120
Mature startups, not mergers, certainly not hostile takeovers.
121
Anyway, I'm not going to press that metaphor.
122
All right, that's number one.
123
Take more risk.
124
That's the first of the protocols of how to fall in love and stay in love.
125
Number two, don't look for your body double.
126
Look for your compliment.
127
This is really important.
128
Now, you know, I'm really interested in how technology is affecting how people fall in love and stay in love.
129
62 % of long -term relationships now are starting on the apps.
130
That's kind of how people meet.
131
I talk to young people and I say, you know, why don't you just go up and, you know, when you're having a drink after work,
132
go up and talk to somebody because they're like, because I don't want them to think I'm a serial killer.
133
Yeah.
134
I mean, society is very complicated and how people meet actually changes.
135
And I've got a lot of thoughts on that.
136
It's very important if you can to meet people in real life.
137
And usually that's actually not in a bar that's around common interests, whether it's a running club,
138
or church, or whatever your thing actually happens to be.
139
But probably, for those of you who are watching this and you're in the dating pool, you're probably using the apps because most people are.
140
What should you be looking for?
141
The answer is not somebody who's exactly like you.
142
And one of the problems with many of the apps, the apps are getting better at this,
143
and I'm very bullish on what the apps are going to be able to do.
144
I'm not anti -technology, but what they've often done in the past is allowed
145
you to curate your dating profile to eliminate everybody who doesn't
146
have a lot of overlap with you beyond just some basic values to we vote the same way, we listen to the same music,
147
we want to go live in the same city, we work in the same industry, everything.
148
And pretty soon you're looking in the mirror and that is truly not hot.
149
I hope that's not hot to you.
150
Why is it that more and more people often say who curate their dating profiles very, very studiously and very, very,
151
in a very careful way that they get a lot of dates, but they don't have much attraction.
152
And the answer is because there's too much compatibility and not enough complementarity.
153
Complementarity is difference and difference is hot.
154
That's really where it comes down to.
155
And, and again, this is a, this is a neurobiological phenomenon.
156
Famous study.
157
Many of you have heard about this.
158
This is the Wettekind et al study in biological sciences, an old study, 1995.
159
This is the famous t -shirt sniffing study.
160
And what it was, was in a nutshell really quickly, is that guys on the college campus,
161
these experiments always use undergraduate dudes because they'll do anything for 20 bucks.
162
They had to wear a t -shirt around for 48 hours, working out, going to class, no showers.
163
And then they would take those t -shirts and put them in shoeboxes
164
and drill holes in the shoeboxes and undergraduate women who didn't know them or didn't know who they were,
165
there's no identifying characteristics on the boxes, had to sniff.
166
I know it's gross.
167
Bear with me.
168
Sniff the t -shirts and say who's most attractive simply on the basis of the smell.
169
What do they find?
170
That those who are immunologically most dissimilar from them, the women, were most attractive to them.
171
Now, there's a reason for this.
172
This is called the MHC, the Major Histocompatibility Complex.
173
You know, based on smell, you don't know.
174
It's an indication to you because your brain knows so much more than you're consciously aware of.
175
Who is dissimilar enough from you, such that if you hypothetically have offspring, who's going to have a wider immunological repertoire?
176
You want people who have different defenses than you.
177
That's called, that's what the major histocompatibility complex actually is, which you ascertain through the olfactory bulb in your brain, among other ways of ascertaining that.
178
You can do it through, you know, sight and a lot of other ways as well.
179
The bottom line is this, more different, hotter, right but we're not curating for that
180
when we're spending too much time looking for the body double we're very narcissistic as creatures i get it
181
but the more narcissistic you are and the more
182
that you're picking your dating partners as opposed to somebody who actually loves you
183
and says i'd be the perfect person for her they're not saying
184
it's just like her they're saying it's enough like her
185
and then enough different than her as well that's principle number two of the protocol
186
Look for difference, not just similarity.
187
Number three, don't fear breaking up.
188
Don't fear the breakup.
189
I've talked about this a little bit before, but if you're paralyzed by the possible pain, you won't do what you need to do.
190
So this really is tied to step one of the protocol.
191
You know, if you're going into business and you're horribly, horribly afraid of having a mishap in business, you're going to make bad business decisions.
192
Now, if you're not afraid at all, You're also going to make bad business decisions.
193
But all of us are a little bit afraid.
194
I'm not worried about that.
195
But people who are paralyzed by fear almost always make non -entrepreneurial decisions.
196
And that's fatal when it comes to romance.
197
Don't fear.
198
Now, or let me be a little bit more specific about this.
199
Have courage, even if you do feel fear, because that's really what it's all about.
200
Feel the fear and act anyway.
201
Say, bring it on.
202
Bring on the risk.
203
when a relationship dissolves
204
that they they have a tendency to to rate mental pain at a pretty significant level
205
it's it's slightly more than three on a one to seven scale of mental pain severity people actually looked at
206
that measured that
207
but it falls it falls much faster than you think your brain is designed to make you think
208
that when you're in pain is never going to go away.
209
The reason for that is because your brain wants you to avoid doing things that are painful to you.
210
These things are threats.
211
But you know beyond your just basic troglodyte limbic system that there's lots of things that you need to do.
212
And that means you need to understand that whereas your limbic system is saying this pain is permanent, it's lying to you.
213
It's transient.
214
And therefore, you will walk into a situation in which there is possible pain.
215
What do we know about
216
that three on a one to seven scale it goes down on average by about 0 .07 points on
217
that scale each week so
218
if you're a 3 .5 in pain after a breakup on average
219
you can expect to feel a little bit better each week where after six weeks
220
you're going to feel less than half as bad about it
221
and by that point less than half as bad is a pretty normal level of pain in your life
222
and you're probably going to be dating again and that's within six months
223
Let's get started.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
