As an older person, hope you young folks take this for what it's worth: when survival is your motivator, for example your health is failing and you will die if you continue to eat garbage fast food and PROCESSED foods, then it is VERY EASY to lose weight. Yeah, uh, don't do this. Good luck. lol Actually i did it. Age 52 from 230 to 170. Been holding 170 to 180 for years now. How'd I do it. I learned about nutrition and food, then learnt to cook using TH-cam. Took me a few months, equipt my kitchen with inexpensive restraunt supply cook ware, because it is fast and easy to clean, and setup work stations, that allow me to prep and make meals, very quicly. It is a process. Optimize the process for your own tastes and healthy foods. Yes, every once in a while, just for fun, I'll go eat an Arby's beef and cheddar, and compared to my homemade beef and cheddar sandwich, there is no comparison, and I end up taking one bite, and throwing the Arby's away, remembering how disgusting it is.

I listened to this guy before. By default I don't trust him to be honest and I find it highly unlikely he'd be allowed this much free reign to say this alot of what he's had to say. I can only and will only assume on general principle, once CIA, always CIA.
He isn't saying anything that isn't already well known and established. He does present it with a certain bias/from a particular world view, which is inevitable.
I was on the debate team in high school. How this served me was, I was (and still do constantly) always having to understand the opposite argument in order to create a better argument. It helped me sooo much to the point that i never lost the habit of understanding another point of view or perspective. It really has served me well in life.
Ooooh ….easy Spike. Let’s NOT plant names on another person as of the color of the skin Jesus Christ really! I like what you were saying until you referred to somebody ““ a spook” God doesn’t tell me a lot about the color of your skin and your open-mindedness or there lack of. ☮️
It's very hard to detect when some people lie as their baseline behaviour doesn't change if they are low in empathy and don't care about lying. It just comes naturally to some people. Someone who has some level of empathy will have an alteration of voice, slightly higher pitch and tremor. I've noticed as I can just tell when people are lying to me. It's often because of what they omitt. The only way I've learned this is years of experience in reading body language after being very poor at reading social cues for over 30 years. I had to force my self to learn for personal safety reasons as I was too trusting. We are taught to trust people in positions of authority and they are the ones most likely to abuse power.
Yes, but there must be something to those people too. I've watched an interview with Bundy and he would laugh and lean back when he said he didn't hurt anyone.
So it’s my responsibility as a communicator with high openness to accept on a conversational basis the viewpoints of people whose relationship I value, if they happen to be close minded and disagreeable. I love it.
I’ve seen several interviews with Andrew and he’s clearly an intelligent person and good communicator. One interview is probably enough for me because it’s kind of the same basic information which is important if you don’t know it, but not worth listening to multiple times. He’s clearly hitting the podcast and TH-camr circuit as a way of promoting or advertising his own business.
I am a very strong empath, l relie on my gut fellings, its allways served me well, previding your a honest person, people have let me down, that is my stength.
False. Both are perspective. Perception is about how you get information. Perspective is what you do with the information in terms of a framework for re-evaluating the world around you and within you.
Question. I get what he's saying but also get what you're saying. Would you consider yourself a logical person? Perhaps your gut has been trained on logic so your gut is good intuition. For example I was raised Christian and still am. So for years I've trained my mind and actions on what I consider is the morally right thing to do. So my "gut" is just my brain referring to my Christian training. In that sense my gut is (hopefully) not my feelings - as Andrew implies it is - rather, it's the moral framework that I believe in. It could be the same for people with other religions or people who are staunch atheists too. My "gut" has also been pretty accurate, like I know the kind of people to avoid in life because my experience has shown me the potential negative outcomes. So to me my gut is usually no longer my initial feelings insomuch that it's my belief structure and experience (my gut tells me things based on what I see and believe, not my emotions). Curious to know what you think!
“Perception” is sense-related in ways that we ‘perceive’ through sight, hearing, and other personal attributes as individuals. “Perspective” can include external, non-personal information with shared assessment according to their situations, whether environmental or social;. We can certainly share the same experience, attitude, and perspective; but we can only perceive from our own individual abilities. Proper definitions help our understanding and communication. Andrew you are one of the most intelligent, wise, and informed educators alive. Thank you for sharing your enormously valuable promotion of facts!!!!
My favorite statement from people is “I can believe that” when I am in conversation with them and my response is to “tell them look it up if you don’t.”
Thank you for your good lectures. I enjoy it every minute, even if it is sad, when i realize, it is to late for me. Whish i would of known all this when i was younger. I could of avoided many things i have faced and my loved ones. Thank you sir.
My instincts, whether you call it gut, intuition, guided, have saved me many times. I never panicked over Y2K, did not run out and buy a generator, never panicked over Covid, did not get the shot.
He didn't mean to ignore your gut. Intuition is just another data point to be considered. If your gut speaks up, it's definitely something to consider, especially if your "gut" isn't usually leading your logic.
This also includes your gut instinct. While I do rely on gut instinct in very serious situations I do try to remain neutral in daily choices. If I am alone on a dark street at night, I don’t question when I feel a bit prickly. The trouble with gut instinct is if you made the opposite choice or did the opposite thing you would probably let it go if it turned out in your favor. You would make up some excuse. Well, I was over reacting or whatever. People will remember having a gut feeling and not listening to it if the outcome is bad. Basically things we call bad or events that we call negative have far more impact on our psyche than things or events we call good.
Good interview. Real good usable advice. Meditation is a medicine. Reading and study is just knowledge. What works is real-world practice. To get better one has to make a conscious decision about what and who they want to be, then assume progressive manageable risks towards the direction he wants to go with intent, journaling, learning from the experience, rewarding yourself when works and repeat. Each time, mimicking/faking, to best of one abilities, the traits of the type of person they would like to acquire.
Hi Doug-You asked him really good questions. I would love to hear him speak on the indoctrination process which he mentioned getting toward the end. Maybe you could have him back on at some point. 🙂
yep, and a plumber uses a pipe wrentch. Leverage tools. He's just using hte tools he uses in his job. That said, this character other characters on YT are interesting. I really do knot know why this dude, a young relatable dude, is speaking to all of us. And why. IDK. But espianage, spy crarft, and geopolitics is at the worst state in my life, and i lived thru the cold war. We really did think we were gonna be vaporized. War Games was a serious movie and had tremendous affect and effects on the American population. "The medium is the mAssage" , eh hem, i mean mEessage. --- Marshall McCluhan
Some people are just intuitive and their intuition is pretty spot on. If your super negative or super positive, then your gut instinct could be influenced by your brain straight up.
I’ve more recently learned this with my anxiety. I notice the process start and can feel my heart rate pick up and I can catch it and start to slow my breathing and I will feel my heart rate come back down.
I don't even think about the outcomes most of the time. I wake up in a panic almost every day, for no apparent reason. Play last almost all day, with a couple of breaks. And it keeps me awake at night. I need to figure it out.
I have had the same experience. You are not alone - always remember that! It took me years to tame the beast of my panic attacks. My faith did help me. Prayer. Meditation.
@@AdoreeBeing did age and time help? Recently out of a long relationship of constant damage control and instability, on so many levels. I already feel like I'm starting to calm down. But I really hope age and corresponding variables might give me some relief. Faith and struggling meditation has just kept my head above water so far. I wish I was tired enough to find contentment with what I have and not what I aspire to. Does that just eventually come? I know results may vary. But I've felt on the verge of a heart attack, daily for years now.
I think you helped me learn how to communicate with people. I suck at it. Like i really really don't know how to do it. It's never been an easy thing for me, and after TBI, it's become near impossible. I could watch this over and over and learn something new every time. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ❤❤❤
1. They dont look you in the eye. 2.

@@thundergrace even in this talk he said you shouldn't pay too much attention to micro expressions because you don't know where they're coming from, instead of ruminating and jumping to conclusions through faulty logic, how about you just ask them how they think and feel, chances are, they'll probably tell you.
Don't trust your gut? I listened to this interview because I think gut instinct is our best advisor. I wanted to hear his reasoning for saying not to trust it. It turns out that his definition of ,gut, is not mine. It sounds more like the mind. If you want to hear his explanation yourself, skip to 23:12 Overall I think the information is very good. The only questionable statement is that nothing is good or bad, but gray, depending on how it's used. It sounds a lot like the end-justify-the-means argument. It seems to me that most of the corruption in high places is because of that type of thinking.
I appreciate the explanation of ego and egotistical, out of rice that was my lack of truly gasping the concept of R.I.C.E . Great information Thank-you
In eastern culture, A popular proverb is, “I want to cut my horn to become a calf again” Means, someone is meant to understand to others, which was comparatively outdated or earlier version (in mind). Its very challenging sometimes to listen & understand others views about something that , May be understood long ago. This recall of that same concept may require some patience & energy but has high chance to learn may be something new from same material/content/conversation. The speaker is accurately touched a few points thTs very close to agreement of understanding.
When I tell someone that's your perspective and they tell me, " no, that's what it is." And im like "okay so you can't see outside your perspective... Cool"
Gut instinct is something that has to be developed if your not highly aware and sensitive. Remember he is talking to 90% of people. But even your gut can be wrong at times only because some people can be very unpredictable. I know someone now who has no bad intentions to harm anyone and she is never meaning to harm anyone but she is so impulsive that she can't even tell that her actions may be harmful.
Our environment can shape our honesty. If honesty is shamed or derided, then we withhold being honest. It's not safe to communicate honesty. Kids have the energy to be honest. But, do the parents have the strength to respond ethically? Or do they fall back on conditioning and become reactive and lack any authentic response? You need to reflect on your own self-interest and put it in perspective. Are you putting protecting your ego ahead of the best interest of the people you truly should care about? Without the people we truly care about, exactly what are you living for?
In a scene, the Penguin rhetorically stated, " why ask why when its better to ask how." If I remember. In health care, generally, it IS more effective to ask How rather than the other, to lessen any likelihood of defensiveness and promotes therapeutic relationship- an ongoing and comprehensive assessment have more open ended questions and the more focused and emergency assessments have more closed -ended questions.
Over explanation is my trait. Mostly i do it, so others understand things better, or to vent, or for information where i think it is important to know. My head is 24 h, 7/7 working. Very draining, but my brain can not rest. I have to know everything and understand everything in detail. Also..., being allways curious is a big driver. Analizing, rotating... Only...you can never have enough knowledge, so learning never ends.
Hmmm not sure if I agree with the point about not wasting time talking to someone unwilling to change. There is a chance that you can plant a seed in their mind and even though it may take time - sometimes months, sometimes years - it can cause them to change. I have done this numerous times.
Great explanation about a 456 year-old still being a 13-yr old in a 45 yr old's framework! That's how we're able to maintain a sense of still being a kid, right? Was just explaining to my daughter, the value of taking a university class in an amphitheatre with 100 other students: the growth sustained when listening to other people's perceptions and perspecta on the subject matter. If we gain nothing else from the class, we grow in our thought processes.
He's wrong about micro expression. Sorry, andrew, but Dr. Paul Ekman, founder of these micro expressions, was given a grant to travel the world and study how different cultures express themselves. Because common believe at the time was that different ethnicities do show expressions differently. He studied vastly different cultures from around the world for like 13 years or so and discovered that each ethnic race used the same muscles to express happiness, sadness stress and so on. It's interesting to hear the verbal side to this. I love learning from you.
Fear is closely related to being surprised. All emotions can be positive or negative. I describe fear as an alarm to do something. - I was literally thinking cognitive dissonance before you said it. We are born with one fear- as we age we typically lose that fear through cognitive dissonance.
Can someone explain the one that got away situation. I don’t have this, if someone is in my past I feel like it’s how it was meant to be. So do people think about other people when they’re in a new relationship? I’d hate to have someone settle for me. 🤷♀️ at that point why bother for both of us
It makes sence what he says, but I doubt anyone relied solely on intelect when making decisions, especially people in his line of work. It happened to me a lot that everything seemed alright, but there was that weird feeling and most of the time it turned out to be legitimate. So, never dissregard gut feelings.
In line with your comments re shades of grey and ethical dilemmas: I’d like to point out all the cases where a person of group is convinced they are motivating (“getting someone to do something that is in their own interests”), when actually what makes them the expert or authority on what is actually in that person’s interests and it may not be? Lots of “motivation” out there that is actually manipulation because a (sometimes even well-meaning) person or group “knows best” what is in another’s interests.
If manipulation is getting someone to do something in your interests, and motivation is getting them to do something in their interests... then what is getting them to do something against their or your interests? This is where the vocabulary games used to justify lying come into play. With liars, there is an inconsistency- look for their alignment with both their interest and your interest, and look at the alignment between their words and their actions in support of their words and in support of your self interests. Better than lie detection is the ability to influence behavior to meet a shared interest. Next is finding out how even with their lies they are giving you information that points out the truth
Always trust your gut! Every time I didn't, I had very bad experiences.
Dude, you are correct.
I didn't and have no idea what is going to happen at all. I am probably at the end of any possible hope.
Exactly, I would have died several times if I didn’t listen to my gut!
I think the idea is that your gut can be conditioned and transformed so be aware to what you are conditioned into and if the case is conditioned response or instinctual/gut response.
Amen

I listened to this guy before. By default I don't trust him to be honest and I find it highly unlikely he'd be allowed this much free reign to say this alot of what he's had to say. I can only and will only assume on general principle, once CIA, always CIA.
It's the hair.
He isn't saying anything that isn't already well known and established. He does present it with a certain bias/from a particular world view, which is inevitable.
Well you're wrong. This guy is extremely smart
I feel the same. Im surprised he's been allowed to use the CIA handle, especially on YT.
@@didafm no one is questioning his intelligence.
I could listen to his stuff all day long. Love Andy Bustamante. He’s so inciteful and intelligent.
Hahahaha....you got no guts!
True, he is gold. I relisten and learn more.
You could be going through brainwashing..
@@guccisimo1He should go through one of his CIA Re-education Camps... I mean, Clubs!
"Insightful", not incite-ful. 🙂
The one time I didn’t listen to my gut it ended poorly
Yes I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH HIM ON THAT PART MY GUT INSTINCTS HAS BEEN RIGHT 95 PERCENT OF THE TIME WHEN I DON'T LISTEN I PAY THE CONSEQUENCES
I was on the debate team in high school. How this served me was, I was (and still do constantly) always having to understand the opposite argument in order to create a better argument. It helped me sooo much to the point that i never lost the habit of understanding another point of view or perspective. It really has served me well in life.
My “gut” saved me on the battlefield more times than I can count. I think I’ll listen to my gut over a spook
Ooooh ….easy Spike. Let’s NOT plant names on another person as of the color of the skin Jesus Christ really! I like what you were saying until you referred to somebody ““ a spook” God doesn’t tell me a lot about the color of your skin and your open-mindedness or there lack of. ☮️

Wow! Wow! Wow! I will put this on my shelf! Love this! Knowledge is much power. THANK YOU 💯% !
It's very hard to detect when some people lie as their baseline behaviour doesn't change if they are low in empathy and don't care about lying. It just comes naturally to some people. Someone who has some level of empathy will have an alteration of voice, slightly higher pitch and tremor. I've noticed as I can just tell when people are lying to me. It's often because of what they omitt. The only way I've learned this is years of experience in reading body language after being very poor at reading social cues for over 30 years. I had to force my self to learn for personal safety reasons as I was too trusting. We are taught to trust people in positions of authority and they are the ones most likely to abuse power.
Yes, but there must be something to those people too. I've watched an interview with Bundy and he would laugh and lean back when he said he didn't hurt anyone.
This guy is amazing. I could listen for hours. One of the smartest people Ive ever heard.
sad to see that most people will dismiss this information, but it is life changing if you are open to it...
So it’s my responsibility as a communicator with high openness to accept on a conversational basis the viewpoints of people whose relationship I value, if they happen to be close minded and disagreeable.
I love it.
I think this is not only fascinating; but, is absolutely incredible.
That’s what he’s trained to make you think.
DUDE! you know your stuff -- better than any ive seen.
He's a con man psy op. Grow up.
I think Andrew is an executive business coach, leveraging his CIA training. Interesting guy and I wish him success.
I’ve seen several interviews with Andrew and he’s clearly an intelligent person and good communicator. One interview is probably enough for me because it’s kind of the same basic information which is important if you don’t know it, but not worth listening to multiple times. He’s clearly hitting the podcast and TH-camr circuit as a way of promoting or advertising his own business.
Another amen on meditation not helping fear.
Thanks!
I am a very strong empath, l relie on my gut fellings, its allways served me well, previding your a honest person, people have let me down, that is my stength.
0:20 Perception(how you see it) vs Perspective(how others see it).
False. Both are perspective. Perception is about how you get information. Perspective is what you do with the information in terms of a framework for re-evaluating the world around you and within you.
Every time I’ve listened to my gut, it was always 💯 % correct. Almost 50 years old so no one will ever be able to change my mind.
Question. I get what he's saying but also get what you're saying. Would you consider yourself a logical person? Perhaps your gut has been trained on logic so your gut is good intuition. For example I was raised Christian and still am. So for years I've trained my mind and actions on what I consider is the morally right thing to do. So my "gut" is just my brain referring to my Christian training. In that sense my gut is (hopefully) not my feelings - as Andrew implies it is - rather, it's the moral framework that I believe in. It could be the same for people with other religions or people who are staunch atheists too. My "gut" has also been pretty accurate, like I know the kind of people to avoid in life because my experience has shown me the potential negative outcomes. So to me my gut is usually no longer my initial feelings insomuch that it's my belief structure and experience (my gut tells me things based on what I see and believe, not my emotions). Curious to know what you think!
no shot this is true lol.
I’m 56. You are about to enter the time in your life when everything will change your mind. Enjoy the ride, my friend.
@@toniduncan3316 Im 56 too. You are 100% right. Wish I was 35 again when I knew it all.🤔
@@veryrare876 Lol
I agree with this gentlemans perspective AND feel it is missing the importance of intuition.
“Perception” is sense-related in ways that we ‘perceive’ through sight, hearing, and other personal attributes as individuals. “Perspective” can include external, non-personal information with shared assessment according to their situations, whether environmental or social;. We can certainly share the same experience, attitude, and perspective; but we can only perceive from our own individual abilities. Proper definitions help our understanding and communication.
Andrew you are one of the most intelligent, wise, and informed educators alive. Thank you for sharing your enormously valuable promotion of facts!!!!
My favorite statement from people is “I can believe that” when I am in conversation with them and my response is to “tell them look it up if you don’t.”
I learned so much great questions great answered thankyou
I really get so much from this guest…he is really smart!
I got a lot from listening to Andrew today. Thank you. Lots of applicable knowledge
WOW! Brilliant Interview!!!! 💓
It’s crazy you can tour with your best hits as a cia agent
🤭🤭
He should totally give a Ted talk in Iran. I'm sure it would be a blast.
😂
Thank you for your good lectures.
I enjoy it every minute, even if it is sad, when i realize, it is to late for me. Whish i would of known all this when i was younger. I could of avoided many things i have faced and my loved ones.
Thank you sir.
My instincts, whether you call it gut, intuition, guided, have saved me many times. I never panicked over Y2K, did not run out and buy a generator, never panicked over Covid, did not get the shot.
4:35 this guy is smart. Man. I subbed. I really liked that.
Awesome ❤Andrew kicks butt
love it. I have to try and use the info Andrew provided
Great insights. Many thanks.
He didn't mean to ignore your gut. Intuition is just another data point to be considered. If your gut speaks up, it's definitely something to consider, especially if your "gut" isn't usually leading your logic.
Thank you. I needed this.
This interviewer asks really good questions.
An individual's perspective shapes his personal perceptions.
This also includes your gut instinct. While I do rely on gut instinct in very serious situations I do try to remain neutral in daily choices. If I am alone on a dark street at night, I don’t question when I feel a bit prickly. The trouble with gut instinct is if you made the opposite choice or did the opposite thing you would probably let it go if it turned out in your favor. You would make up some excuse. Well, I was over reacting or whatever. People will remember having a gut feeling and not listening to it if the outcome is bad. Basically things we call bad or events that we call negative have far more impact on our psyche than things or events we call good.
Good interview. Real good usable advice. Meditation is a medicine. Reading and study is just knowledge. What works is real-world practice.
To get better one has to make a conscious decision about what and who they want to be, then assume progressive manageable risks towards the direction he wants to go with intent, journaling, learning from the experience, rewarding yourself when works and repeat. Each time, mimicking/faking, to best of one abilities, the traits of the type of person they would like to acquire.
Great information
This helped me greatly. Thx.
Very well explained
You asked all of the questions I wanted to know thanks doug
Hi Doug-You asked him really good questions. I would love to hear him speak on the indoctrination process which he mentioned getting toward the end. Maybe you could have him back on at some point. 🙂
Thank You -good discussion .Greetings from Poland
Very informative
His interviews are meant to be a recruiting tool
yep, and a plumber uses a pipe wrentch. Leverage tools. He's just using hte tools he uses in his job. That said, this character other characters on YT are interesting. I really do knot know why this dude, a young relatable dude, is speaking to all of us. And why. IDK. But espianage, spy crarft, and geopolitics is at the worst state in my life, and i lived thru the cold war. We really did think we were gonna be vaporized. War Games was a serious movie and had tremendous affect and effects on the American population. "The medium is the mAssage" , eh hem, i mean mEessage. --- Marshall McCluhan
Can you please elaborate?
@@estyron27858 From someone who needs to edit such short comment? guess not.
You miss the point
Some people are just intuitive and their intuition is pretty spot on. If your super negative or super positive, then your gut instinct could be influenced by your brain straight up.
Bustamante 2024... BRILLIANT!
I’ve more recently learned this with my anxiety. I notice the process start and can feel my heart rate pick up and I can catch it and start to slow my breathing and I will feel my heart rate come back down.
Love YOUR THINKING ❤
I don't even think about the outcomes most of the time. I wake up in a panic almost every day, for no apparent reason. Play last almost all day, with a couple of breaks. And it keeps me awake at night. I need to figure it out.
I have had the same experience. You are not alone - always remember that! It took me years to tame the beast of my panic attacks. My faith did help me. Prayer. Meditation.
@@AdoreeBeing did age and time help? Recently out of a long relationship of constant damage control and instability, on so many levels. I already feel like I'm starting to calm down. But I really hope age and corresponding variables might give me some relief. Faith and struggling meditation has just kept my head above water so far. I wish I was tired enough to find contentment with what I have and not what I aspire to. Does that just eventually come? I know results may vary. But I've felt on the verge of a heart attack, daily for years now.
They can also be tired of being misunderstood.
I think you helped me learn how to communicate with people. I suck at it. Like i really really don't know how to do it.
It's never been an easy thing for me, and after TBI, it's become near impossible.
I could watch this over and over and learn something new every time.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ❤❤❤
Protect Andrew! He’s a genius.
Hey can you ask Andrew how to tell if someone likes you or doesn't?
Your on the wrong platform
i like you!😂
1. They dont look you in the eye. 2. They have a grimace on their face 3 they dont answer and walk away 4 they give you the finger 5 they yell at you 6 they put you down all the time 7 and last they ghost you dont want anything to do with you. many other things ...they just give you mean looks....thats how you know...
Ask them.
@@thundergrace even in this talk he said you shouldn't pay too much attention to micro expressions because you don't know where they're coming from, instead of ruminating and jumping to conclusions through faulty logic, how about you just ask them how they think and feel, chances are, they'll probably tell you.
Don't trust your gut? I listened to this interview because I think gut instinct is our best advisor. I wanted to hear his reasoning for saying not to trust it.
It turns out that his definition of ,gut, is not mine. It sounds more like the mind.
If you want to hear his explanation yourself, skip to 23:12
Overall I think the information is very good. The only questionable statement is that nothing is good or bad, but gray, depending on how it's used. It sounds a lot like the end-justify-the-means argument.
It seems to me that most of the corruption in high places is because of that type of thinking.
Of course we were lied to, but so were you Superman.
Congition is how to proces experiences, also it has to do with NLP.
I appreciate the explanation of ego and egotistical, out of rice that was my lack of truly gasping the concept of R.I.C.E . Great information Thank-you
In eastern culture,
A popular proverb is,
“I want to cut my horn to become a calf again”
Means, someone is meant to understand to others, which was comparatively outdated or earlier version (in mind).
Its very challenging sometimes to listen & understand others views about something that , May be understood long ago.
This recall of that same concept may require some patience & energy but has high chance to learn may be something new from same material/content/conversation.
The speaker is accurately touched a few points thTs very close to agreement of understanding.
When I tell someone that's your perspective and they tell me, " no, that's what it is." And im like "okay so you can't see outside your perspective... Cool"
Great advocate point of view for an effective professional communicator.👌🏽✨🇺🇸
So excellent
Gut instinct is something that has to be developed if your not highly aware and sensitive. Remember he is talking to 90% of people.
But even your gut can be wrong at times only because some people can be very unpredictable.
I know someone now who has no bad intentions to harm anyone and she is never meaning to harm anyone but she is so impulsive that she can't even tell that her actions may be harmful.
very smart man
Our environment can shape our honesty. If honesty is shamed or derided, then we withhold being honest. It's not safe to communicate honesty. Kids have the energy to be honest. But, do the parents have the strength to respond ethically? Or do they fall back on conditioning and become reactive and lack any authentic response? You need to reflect on your own self-interest and put it in perspective. Are you putting protecting your ego ahead of the best interest of the people you truly should care about? Without the people we truly care about, exactly what are you living for?
Good point!
I seen the exact opposite argument from this guy last week on another podcast. Telling us to trust our gut.
Very good 🎉
In a scene, the Penguin rhetorically stated, " why ask why when its better to ask how." If I remember. In health care, generally, it IS more effective to ask How rather than the other, to lessen any likelihood of defensiveness and promotes therapeutic relationship- an ongoing and comprehensive assessment have more open ended questions and the more focused and emergency assessments have more closed -ended questions.
Over explanation is my trait.
Mostly i do it, so others understand things better, or to vent, or for information where i think it is important to know.
My head is 24 h, 7/7 working.
Very draining, but my brain can not rest.
I have to know everything and understand everything in detail.
Also..., being allways curious is a big driver.
Analizing, rotating...
Only...you can never have enough knowledge, so learning never ends.
My intuition changes all the time depending on what mood I'm in.
Hmmm not sure if I agree with the point about not wasting time talking to someone unwilling to change. There is a chance that you can plant a seed in their mind and even though it may take time - sometimes months, sometimes years - it can cause them to change. I have done this numerous times.
Great explanation about a 456 year-old still being a 13-yr old in a 45 yr old's framework! That's how we're able to maintain a sense of still being a kid, right? Was just explaining to my daughter, the value of taking a university class in an amphitheatre with 100 other students: the growth sustained when listening to other people's perceptions and perspecta on the subject matter. If we gain nothing else from the class, we grow in our thought processes.
He's wrong about micro expression. Sorry, andrew, but Dr. Paul Ekman, founder of these micro expressions, was given a grant to travel the world and study how different cultures express themselves. Because common believe at the time was that different ethnicities do show expressions differently. He studied vastly different cultures from around the world for like 13 years or so and discovered that each ethnic race used the same muscles to express happiness, sadness stress and so on. It's interesting to hear the verbal side to this. I love learning from you.
Fear is closely related to being surprised. All emotions can be positive or negative. I describe fear as an alarm to do something. - I was literally thinking cognitive dissonance before you said it. We are born with one fear- as we age we typically lose that fear through cognitive dissonance.
Always trust your gut feeling.. it’s your first brain, your blueprint .. Neurologically, it’s there before your brain develops..
Don't ever trust anyone telling you not to trust your intuition, your intuition is EVERYTHING.
Is gut feeling and intuition the same thing?
@@masterchavez3337 yes
Can someone explain the one that got away situation. I don’t have this, if someone is in my past I feel like it’s how it was meant to be. So do people think about other people when they’re in a new relationship? I’d hate to have someone settle for me. 🤷♀️ at that point why bother for both of us
Your brain thinks, but your heart/guts knows.
The SuperEgo is important too!
It makes sence what he says, but I doubt anyone relied solely on intelect when making decisions, especially people in his line of work. It happened to me a lot that everything seemed alright, but there was that weird feeling and most of the time it turned out to be legitimate. So, never dissregard gut feelings.
Ah a person with intellect, who gets the message!
In line with your comments re shades of grey and ethical dilemmas:
I’d like to point out all the cases where a person of group is convinced they are motivating (“getting someone to do something that is in their own interests”), when actually what makes them the expert or authority on what is actually in that person’s interests and it may not be? Lots of “motivation” out there that is actually manipulation because a (sometimes even well-meaning) person or group “knows best” what is in another’s interests.
If manipulation is getting someone to do something in your interests, and motivation is getting them to do something in their interests... then what is getting them to do something against their or your interests? This is where the vocabulary games used to justify lying come into play. With liars, there is an inconsistency- look for their alignment with both their interest and your interest, and look at the alignment between their words and their actions in support of their words and in support of your self interests. Better than lie detection is the ability to influence behavior to meet a shared interest. Next is finding out how even with their lies they are giving you information that points out the truth
No play the shakuhachi. you learn about your attitude, un realistic expectations, your sense of discipline for practice and not quitting.
Yeah Andrew. I’m healthy and fit at 63 My motivation is for me. Not for some outward show
