1
People can say anything they want to with words, so we don't ever really say exactly what we feel.
2
But our body language does not lie.
3
It's very difficult to lie with your body language.
4
Even the finest actors in the world find it very difficult to lie with their voice because the voice reveals people's feelings.
5
You want to be observant.
6
the most important skill that you can have in in the work world in the business world and in life
7
is knowing how to observe people and not be
8
so wrapped up in yourself and be outer directed so
9
when you're in a situation like you've entered a job for the first time
10
your tendency is to be all insecure
11
and think did i say the wrong thing am i doing am i dressing incorrectly am i fitting in
12
and you're not observing you're thinking about yourself
13
right and the whole game is to be observing it's like you're observing the world the different games
14
that are going on what people are doing what they're like
15
what their tastes are like what the boss is like there
16
are all these levels of power going on you want to get outside of yourself
17
and simply observe right and not be thinking about yourself as much
18
and if you become a really good observer of people
19
which is something that i developed over all of these different jobs
20
that i had i wasn't necessarily the best uh person figuring out the game
21
but i was very observant about people and their nature
22
and their flaws and such
23
if you become an astute observer of the people around you
24
you will have this the game will be much easier to
25
to manage right you will know this is a person who
26
is insecure i cannot offend them i cannot say the right the wrong thing to them.
27
This is a person who's strong and secure.
28
I want to be with them.
29
I want them to mentor me.
30
They can, you know, you want to be able to take criticism from other people.
31
In other words, be less insecure and be more kind of outer motivated and paying attention to the people around you.
32
And so it sounds like sort of half the battle is sort of naming what other people are.
33
So saying like, oh, this, this happened.
34
Robert did this thing, which tells me he cares about how he's perceived perception
35
and relevance is important to Robert so I'm going to name a person like
36
that right and so often
37
when you're young you're just thinking I I I mean me
38
you don't even know to name another right interesting well the thing also
39
that you want to understand is everything is a sign so
40
when you're observing another thing is enjoy this aspect of it
41
because it's actually a lot of fun it's like watching a movie and observing people and understanding them.
42
But everything people do is a sign.
43
So if they're showing up late at meetings or they're not returning your phone calls, it's not some innocent event.
44
It means something.
45
It's coming from some place within them.
46
They're telling you something about themselves indirectly.
47
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?
48
If they're not returning your phone calls, on and on and on every little thing that people do.
49
Sometimes when I read an email, I can sense that there's a little bit of anger as an undertone.
50
You can sense people's tone, not just in what they say, but in how they write something, right?
51
There's not this usual kind of polite tone.
52
There's a little bit of a sharpness.
53
There's a word or two that indicates that they're upset, they're angry.
54
Every little thing that people do is a sign.
55
You're not paranoid because it's actually a lot of fun
56
and you're decoding what's going on because people wear masks they smile
57
and they say i love your ideas cody you're brilliant you're wonderful
58
but inside they're thinking something else
59
and you have to be able to pick up all of
60
these signs yeah it seems like a lot of us have lost a lot of
61
that gut intuition like we don't we're told to not trust
62
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.
63
We're sort of continuously being told to mask this feeling we get in our gut.
64
How do you reopen that again?
65
Like if you're sitting in a room with a bunch of people in the workplace
66
and you're trying to figure out how to play this game,
67
what is the mental game Robert plays to sort of pick up these undercurrents that somebody might not be able to see?
68
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.
69
And it's extremely important skill to develop.
70
And what that means is people can say anything they want to with words.
71
In fact, They generally do.
72
They never really exactly say what's on their mind.
73
That's how it is in the social world.
74
Because if you said what was exactly on your mind, you would be offending a lot of people.
75
So we don't ever really say exactly what we feel.
76
But our body language does not lie.
77
It's very difficult to lie with your body language.
78
Even the finest actors in the world find it very difficult to lie with their voice
79
because the voice reveals people's feelings right
80
so you want to be observant we're very good at picking these kind of cues up
81
so you may not realize it but you sense
82
that something is wrong about this person that you've just met this is something
83
that in the i talk a lot about in the art
84
of seduction i've dealt with with women who've written me back they had a gut feeling
85
that this man
86
that they met was wrong there was something bad about him they got a bad feeling from it
87
but what happens is you don't trust that feeling and then
88
because you're not as you say in our culture it's not something
89
that we value and then we go on we have a relationship
90
and then we find the hard way out
91
that our original gut instinct was the correct one
92
so you want to trust these feelings they're very valuable we are animals we think we're all
93
so intellectual we've got our our frontal cortex that governs everything
94
but inside we operate on emotions on instincts on feelings on
95
sensations it's a nonverbal form of communication it comes out in people's gestures
96
and how they move how they stand right they're at a party you're talking to them
97
but their feet are pointing in a different direction they're not
98
so interested in you their eyes reveal if they're really listening to you
99
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.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
