How your brain learns best in 6 steps

I was reading a good Book-of-the-Day on a beautiful California morning. The author of Riveted explains how you can make your message go viral (it takes real skill, or you will be ignored and forgotten).

Jim Davies says you have to understand 6 things about the human brain to win friends and influence people:

  1. We are interested in stories about humans…
  2. We pay particular attention to things we hope or fear are true…
  3. We delight in finding patterns…
  4. We are attracted to incongruity, apparent contradictions, novelty, and puzzles…
  5. The nature of our bodies—the nature of our eyes and other sense organs, affects what kinds of things draw us…
  6. We have certain psychological traits, many of which are evolved, that make us like and dislike, believe and disbelieve…

So when you speak, write, and interact with other people, make sure you utilize all 6 of these to compel, fascinate, and persuade everyone you meet.

Stay strong,
Tai

P.S. I’m doing a new live talk this Thursday, November 12th at 12 PM PST (3 PM EST / 8 PM London Time). I’ve received hundreds of emails from people on how much they’ve learned from these free talks. So, remember to save your spot before it fills up.
