Human Psychology

Lessons from Human Psychology


  1. The first lesson  is about the extraordinary power of flattery.  Everyone loves a dollop of flattering although some like it unknowingly. So to be successful use this power of flattery. But be genuine and sincere, there will be something about people that you can appreciate/compliment. Its proven that even if the person knows that he is being flattered he cannot help but enjoy the feeling.(Although it does not have the same impact as a genuine complement)
  2. Your mind has a mind of its own:-) It takes considerable practice to tame your mind. If you can channel your thoughts, then thats the first step towards mastery of self.
  3. We all generally want to be nice to to other people and liked by other people. 
  4. We dont like to say "no" many times. This is why the "Door-in-the-face" sales technique works! (more details here  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door-in-the-face_technique)
  5. We all crave for attention from the day we are born- babies crying when hungry, toddlers breaking stuff, teenagers acting wild,women spending time to get ready, men spending more time building their physique and/or moustaches/beards.
