Episode #44 Are You Decisions Truly Yours Or Are You Being Influenced?

I am going to be talking about how I save money, how I control myself, how I understand other people and how I understand advertising. By understanding advertising, I can understand how people in government and corporations are trying to sell me things or how they want me to behave. So, this book, The Psychology of Persuasion, touches on a lot of aspects of my life. I am going to teach you a couple of things I learned from this book. I really recommend you read it, so you can draw your own conclusions. Depending on where you are in your life, depending on who you are, what you do in life, if you are a business owner, if you are an employee, if you have a family or not, this is an informative book for you to read. I am going to begin with reciprocation and how it works... Reciprocation works quite simple. I give you something and then I get something in return from you. It's human nature to help others and be helped in return. Simon Sinek, the author of the book Start with Why, talks about all the chemicals that our body produces and how reciprocation actually releases oxytocin into our system, which helps to bond with others. What reciprocation does is if you do something good for somebody else, that person may feel indebted to you. For example, McDonald's in some countries used to give each child a balloon when they would come in. So, they had many repeat customers. Another example, I have a good friend who is good at reciprocation; he does a lot of good things for me and therefore I feel indebted to him. Now I know when someone is doing it from his heart. You can feel it and I know that his motives are good. Therefore, whatever he needs or wants I am there for him because he is always there for me.
