  • Blake Eastman has dedicated his entire life to psychology and nonverbal behavior. In 2009 he founded The Nonverbal Group, a behavioral research and education company in New York City which conducts large scale studies on human behavior and uses a wide range of technologies to systematically deconstruct and improve human communication. Eastman dives deep into a number of subjects revolving around how we communicate with one another, including the ability to read nonverbal cues, his thoughts on big talkers vs. silent types, how we can communicate with our partners without complaining, the value of watching ourselves communicate on video, understanding the power structures and social dynamics at work, and so much more.
    Eastman has also served as an adjunct psychology professor at the City University of New York for six years where he taught General Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Group Dynamics. He is also a former professional poker player and the founder of School of Cards, the first brick-and-mortar poker school in New York City.

    1:00:00 came up with this theory myself….. when you walk into a room, are you there for yourself and how people perceive you, or are you there to make a pleasant experience for the people around you. Amazing how much this changed my life.
    Although it is hard to differentiate this between people pleasing. I think people pleasing still is fundamentally based on how the self is perceived. It’s more like “ do things for others while realizing that what they think of you is none of your business”

      @@pearpo All of these are true. However what the original commentator said, is indeed the case that is not discussed as often. It used to be perceived as a stereotype for employees to complain about "difficult bosses/managers" etc. And it used to be a stereotypical response to that stereotype to think that "it is the position that molds the character" or even that "this position requires people to become such characters". In reality, it is the other way around and this has been both known by popular wisdom but also today proven by science as well : power attracts narcissists and sociopaths much more than it attracts people in the middle of the altruism-sociopathy spectrum. Speaking of male sociopaths alone, who are more easily defined than narcissists (because anyone can be labelled as such, the definition is more loose), these are about 5% of the male population but they are about 30% of the upper management, high-end positions in whichever company, corporation and organisation. This means that sociopaths out of a combination of inner drive but also tons of machinations and back-stabbing they have 6 times more chances of climbing the corporate/organisational ladder. Hence it is not any "erroneous perception" of employees that their bosses are difficult, it is rather that they so often happen indeed to be difficult. The chances of falling on a sociopath boss/manager can be as low as 1 in 5 and as high as 1 in 3, probably more closer to the latter. When dealing with sociopaths, there is not much to do, it is not that these people can change who they are, they will keep on acting as they consider fitting. With sociopaths you deal them only with violence (of any sort, I do not mean just physical), but this is kinda difficult for employees, and the ones who stand-up are the first in line for firing.

    Something that broke my heart when my brother was being charged w a felony and might’ve gone to prison was how my family treated him/the punishment he was facing (he only had to go to jail thankfully) and no one could understand/care WHY he did what he did, and how my family had a big hand in him being brought to that situation. I felt I was the only one who still saw him for who he was at that time. When I first heard the situation we were so close and both in shitty situations, I actually couldn’t comprehend why he’d been arrested, thinking he’d acted completely rationally for the situation.

If he had another option, he would have done that instead. He knew I would give it to him! I had already given so much! For him to admit he needed me to help him more would have killed him. So he lied and stole. I can honestly say I learned so much in this situation bc if it wasn't someone I love, I don't trust that I would have thought so long about it and came to forgiveness.

    Men are different than women in distinct ways that I've seen two separate communication experts miss out on. Most women are open to communicate with and will be kind to men whether or not we're attracted to them. We will engage them as much, and sometimes more than men we're very attracted to because we're less nervous. Men tend to be the opposite, and we know this because women talk about how they're treated differently by men when they gain weight or as they age.
    Secondly, women do not know whether we're attracted to most of the men we end up with when we first meet them. We can actually grow to love a man and become attracted to him for his personality. Men don't tend to do this.

It's brutal. I suppose that could be true for men in an opposite sort of way. Yet, I honestly believe many men get set in their ways more often. To have thought that attractive women were very kind to them could just mean that they weren't very attracted. Some sly men will learn later on that when a woman is intimidated or treats him with disdain that it probably means we like him... and we learned this from little boys who do the opposite (we "mature" faster, and see them as "mates" earlier).

    There have been studies in narcissists and they actually signal one another through body language and non verbal cues. I discovered this while dating a covert narcissists. I’m very good at picking up patterns and I noticed a lot of energy and signaling between him and other narcissistic women. Believe it or not I prayed to god for discernment and the next time it happened I picked up on a very negative energy or vibration, I could feel this or sense this when he was lying as well. It made him very uncomfortable because oddly enough he thought I was able to read his mind. this is how they scout out who is going to be willing to cheat. The other woman was also a covert narcissist. Narcissists view cheating as a game of superiority, if they can cause you partner to cheat to them it means they are superior to you so they active try to get people to commit adultery.

      Broken people attract broken people
      And most times broken people target healed people as a cover or to copy their behaviors to o conceal their dark behavior
      Narcissists are selfish and self serving; they are spiritually weak and Godless.
      Narcissists are anti love which is anti God which makes them the enemy
      Because when one is spiritually weak/Godless and self serving they are susceptible to demonic oppression/influence and possession

    Eastman talks about how his team reads people's behavior through quantitative means-reading number and type of detailed movements from video, for example-and then talks about how "cool" it was to learn from his professor how to manipulate data sets to get data to illustrate whatever your predetermined POV or thesis is. This is a deeply troubling morale/mindset for a researcher to have, especially as we increasingly use behavioral predictions in our digital systems to determine who/what people are, what they should buy, which partners they should pair with, which jobs they should have, etc.

    Good that he explains that you need to calibrate for each individual's behaviour and the context of the situation. So many dipshits read body-language books, and take isolated moves out of context and apply them to every situation, claiming to be experts at "judging people". I remember years ago, some dude telling me that he knew I wasn't a good girlfriend for his mate, because as he was interrogating me, my eyes wandered off and broke eye contact. What he didn't realise was that they broke contact because my boyfriend (his mate) at the time was making eye-contact with me in the background and we were having a cute exchange. People see what they want to see. This was the same guy who told me that I couldn't be trusted because I was a Gemini.

      Putting labels on people prevents connection by increasing biases and decreasing individualism. As well as causing a mindset that focuses on other's perceptions of us instead of understanding our own true motives.
      Explain how to walk on eggshells, trying not to offend someone only to continually agrue your true intentions because you are put in a box based on their perception of your intentions?
      As stated, people are too lazy to unlearn what they believe. So instead of unlearning what you think of others, learn yourself first. Then, learn not to listen to anyone who wants to put you in a box. Never question your motives after you have discovered what they are, of course.

    In my practice, I constantly hear women tell me how much they hate being "judged". "Don't judge me" is a common command. Yet, incredibly, the same type of person judges others from people to fruit with much care and specificity. So why not behavior, I reply to them? Since denying judgmental thoughts is pathology, I suggest to accept that we judge but with a caveat -- the possibility of judging wrongly. Instead of having a fear of this, allow for corrections to conclusions of behavior. After all, manipulative behavior is all about creating false judgements of behavior and image. Allow yourself the latitude for changes in judgement but resist the notion not to judge. This "do not judge" mentality is IMHO an element of Postmodern indoctrination where "all behavior is equal"when it obviously is not, resulting in a phobia to judge. But, that's conditioning through miseducation for ya. Fix it. Or your results will be poor.

    because automatic suggestion in our mind is real and multiplies the belief, because the subconscious mind (with subconscious thoughts and beliefs)
    works 95 percent a day and the subconscious mind is 90 percent negative

Alot of people will immediately show you who they actually are because they feel it doesn't matter at that point.

When I come across someone like you described I will also shutdown, why put in any effort. Someone I know is how you described and this situation recently happened. Funny how when the tables are reversed they will start talking and being more engaging. It’s like it has to be on their terms.

Your better off being yourself, seeing how they react and reciprocate and that’s it. Don’t lie and don’t be fake but don’t purposefully be difficult to converse with.

    14:30 I can understand how most people understanding their background and why they committed some crimes deserve second chances, I can't understand how some would constantly commit crimes against children and feel no remorse for it, I feel that is a different type of problem.

    I could always tell when a younger sister lied from an early age. Her lip would make a funny quiver and shape. Later in life I could always tell when she lied which was just about everything.

      Did you ever think or find out that you were wrong? Or where you proven right once or twice and so you assume she lies about everything? Have you talked to her about it in a non-judgmental or accusatory manner?

    In the middle of the interview is the topic about people, that make you feel very important and that are very nice, smiling, so on.
    To my experience most (not all) of them are dangerous because often it is not genuine. In business I met 2 people like this, they where narcissist and left a lot of damage anywhere they went. Both really harmed my business. These people only feel smart when they trick you and they are not able to produce any wealth and thats why they try to steal it.
    The last was my ex long time ago who cheated in the end because she had it very easy making people liking her. Everybody's darling... But at least she was genuine nice without intention do destroy like narcissists do. Anyway, I'm happy having nothing more to do with any of this 3 people. I can recommend the books from Thomas Erikson for anybody with more interest on that topic

    Observation number 1. YOU said YOU don’t know WHY you don’t like yes or no answers.
    That there is lack of insight. And it’s a trigger. And you’re controlling your trigger by forcing everyone to give you an answer and an emoji. …. When in fact; you could accept single word answers and not control your “team”. …
    When you don’t know yourself … you lose an opportunity to self soothe.

    i tend to be more literal thinking, but i have learned over almost 40 years to actively think about what people are doing with their bodies and the tone of voice... I get it so wrong though still. I have to pay a LOT of attention to see this stuff

    I look at other people and mimick it. I just dont understand what people want from me in conversation most of the time. I thinknits becausebinwas alone alot as a kid ans switched schools constantly so i just dont know what I should and should not say. I generally avoid face to face converstaion alone with other people because it makes me super uncomfortable.

      There’s something deep rooted to all that
      Only therapy can draw it out, then stare it down, process it, and gain the understanding and learn the techniques to change the prior bad habits you used for survival and coping

    You can have some neuro divergent and therefore have difficulty looking into your eyes but at the same time be very correct and honest.

    Jerry marzinsky, Shakti modi and Scott peck are just a few mental health professionals who’ve come to conclusion that mental health issues are a matter of some sort of possession. Marzinsky has had schizophrenics who’ve healed themselves through fasting and scripture. They’ve done experiments to confirm that it is a form of influence outside of the individual. I used to work in the field and I’m leaning towards that y theory. Narcissists poses the same blueprint, of behavior, it doesn’t matter their age, their culture, the era that they lived. It’s identical across the board.

    Legitimately, right before you started talking about it, I was thinking how much I hate that random table with that random bottle on it and how distracting it was. And I can tell everything was very curated for the shot; you're using the rule of 3rds, etc... But, that table screams nonsensical to me. Btw, I love your walls. Also, what's up with the no shoes? And why would you decide to leave that in the shot when you could just cut it out?
