People can say anything they want to with words, so we don't ever really say exactly what we feel.

But our body language does not lie.

It's very difficult to lie with your body language.

Even the finest actors in the world find it very difficult to lie with their voice because the voice reveals people's feelings.

You want to be observant.

the most important skill that you can have in in the work world in the business world and in life

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 incorrectly 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 what the boss is like there

are all these levels of power going on you want to get outside of yourself

and simply observe right and not be thinking about yourself as much

and if you become a really good observer of people

which is something that i developed over all of these different jobs

that i had i wasn't necessarily the best uh person figuring out the game

but i was very observant about people and their nature

and their flaws and such

if you become an astute observer of the people around you

you will have this the game will be much easier to

to manage right you will know this is a person who

is insecure i cannot offend them i cannot say the right the wrong thing to them.

This is a person who's strong and secure.

I want to be with them.

I want them to mentor me.

They can, you know, you want to be able to take criticism from other people.

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

And so it sounds like sort of half the battle is sort of naming what other people are.

So saying like, oh, this, this happened.

Robert did this thing, which tells me he cares about how he's perceived perception

and relevance is important to Robert so I'm going to name a person like

that right and so often

when you're young you're just thinking I I I mean me

you don't even know to name another right interesting well the thing also

that you want to understand is everything is a sign so

when you're observing another thing is enjoy this aspect of it

because it's actually a lot of fun it's like watching a movie and observing people and understanding them.

But everything people do is a sign.

So if they're showing up late at meetings or they're not returning your phone calls, it's not some innocent event.

It means something.

It's coming from some place within them.

They're telling you something about themselves indirectly.

If their desk is a mess, right, they can't organize their desk, it's a sign of something else going on inside them, right?

If they're not returning your phone calls, on and on and on every little thing that people do.

Sometimes when I read an email, I can sense that there's a little bit of anger as an undertone.

You can sense people's tone, not just in what they say, but in how they write something, right?

There's not this usual kind of polite tone.

There's a little bit of a sharpness.

There's a word or two that indicates that they're upset, they're angry.

Every little thing that people do is a sign.

You're not paranoid because it's actually a lot of fun

and you're decoding what's going on because people wear masks they smile

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

but inside they're thinking something else

and you have to be able to pick up all of

these signs yeah it seems like a lot of us have lost a lot of

that gut intuition like we don't we're told to not trust

your first instinct yeah you know we're told to not cross the street when we feel a certain way, because that could be rude to somebody else.

We're sort of continuously being told to mask this feeling we get in our gut.

How do you reopen that again?

Like if you're sitting in a room with a bunch of people in the workplace

and you're trying to figure out how to play this game,

what is the mental game Robert plays to sort of pick up these undercurrents that somebody might not be able to see?

Well, I wrote a book called The Laws of Human Nature, sort of my last book, and I have a very long chapter in there about nonverbal communication.

And it's extremely important skill to develop.

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

In fact, They generally do.

They never really exactly say what's on their mind.

That's how it is in the social world.

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

So we don't ever really say exactly what we feel.

But our body language does not lie.

It's very difficult to lie with your body language.

Even the finest actors in the world find it very difficult to lie with their voice

because the voice reveals people's feelings right

so you want to be observant we're very good at picking these kind of cues up

so you may not realize it but you sense

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

that in the i talk a lot about in the art

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

that this man

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

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

because you're not as you say in our culture it's not something

that we value and then we go on we have a relationship

and then we find the hard way out

that our original gut instinct was the correct one

so you want to trust these feelings they're very valuable we are animals we think we're all

so intellectual we've got our our frontal cortex that governs everything

but inside we operate on emotions on instincts on feelings on

sensations it's a nonverbal form of communication it comes out in people's gestures

and how they move how they stand right they're at a party you're talking to them

but their feet are pointing in a different direction they're not

so interested in you their eyes reveal if they're really listening to you

or not a real smile lights up the whole face a fake smile's all kind of tight

100

that's wonderful i really like right yeah on

101

and on it's insane language you can understand exactly what people are thinking

102

but you have to do this to be able to reach

103

this kind of level of understanding you have to shut off

104

your own mind you have to shut off all your internal chatter You have to observe

105

and you have to see exactly what, try to read and detect what that particular sign means.

106

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

107

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

108

And as I said, I wrote a whole chapter about signs that you can look at tomorrow and learn about this language.

109

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

110

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

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
