    You have changed the way I think about being authentic. I have been on this planet for 56 years and have always struggled when meeting new people. I tried alcohol for a number of years which did get rid of my inhibitions but created other problems as you can imagine but that is another story. I always used to dislike "phonies" passionately for not being authentic. Acting, they were just acting. As an example I can think of an ex that would behave one way in private and another way in a group environment and I always thought - what a phony. 56 years! That's how long I have misunderstood positive communication with others. I get it now and forgive the people in my life that weren't being what I believe to be genuine. So a big thank you to you and the universe for our paths crossing. I will work on being inauthentic to make my world a more colorful place.

    Hi Mark, the very fact that this TED Talk from over seven years ago is still having a great impact is so amazing. I loved this talk and will take what you advice on board. I love watching The Behaviour Panel and just saw the Donald Trump video where Chase mentioned this talk. The fact that he couldn’t lift his beer after deploying your advice made me laugh and had me so intrigued that I made a beeline to this site. I loved it, I’ve subscribed and look forward to learning much more from you. Manny thanks for this and best wishes ‘friend’. X

    Being raised Christian, I've been inauthentic since I was thirteen years old. It has served me well and didn't hurt any of those who felt better about themselves because of the positive attention I directed towards them. This attitude I project has emboldened many to become my friend. During my lifetime, there have been those who were suspicious but, in time, they came around and learned to appreciate my inauthenticity. It helps a lot that I try not to judge, as I believe everyone does the best they can with the experiences they've had, and that I truly love my fellow human beings and accept that we are ALL imperfect. Keep spreading the good word, Mark, and maybe the world will be a nicer place for all of us.

    This is a video that we need to watch 3-5 times before we grasp the profound message. One message I received it this, when there are people on Smartphones, being 100 percent indifferent to people around them, they can miss out on all sort of wonderful opportunities, they need need to attempt to be in-authentic, do not be themselves, stop being indifferent and give a smile to their world.

I frankly had to think for a little while about what you were really getting at. Perhaps different people might walk away with different conclusions. You could have ended the talk with a bunch of poetic “niceities” that would sum up the key points and ideas instead you left us hanging a bit. I deeply appreciate you of falling into that temptation of summing up your talk because it shows you trust the intelligence of the audience! Absolutely brilliant and thought provoking. Thank you!

      Its a strange thing, reading your comment 4 yrs on. It sounds like you are coming from a place of having a desire to support and heal others. These kind of doctors are a gift to mankind. However many of us over the years have grown to mistrust the medical profession, regardless of how they try to project themselves. Its as if many within it do not really believe deepdown, what they are saying themselves..and therefore use bully tactics to drown out all contradiction or dissent; overriding, discouraging and even destroying a 'patient's' ability to think for themselves or to contend... and in some areas even trying to take away their right to do so. It is commanding respect with the sword of 'authority'. They even do it to their fellow practioners and scientists.
      When we need help, we seek out others who know more than ourselves. We are grateful for those we encounter who have genuine compassion. But there are many times when people place their trust in the hands of those who are not their saviours, but even deceivers..Even if that is not intentional.
      It is even more apparent in the present times, when we are being lied to so much, but many 'choose' to 'believe' what they are told out of fear ... not out of genuine trust or confidence in the medical profession, but because they are not told they have other options.
      And I say none of this with any kind of disrespect to you at all. I admire what physicians are capable of, so I do not mean this personally.
      But many of us have witnessed the side effects of all the narrow mindedness that has been allowed and actively encouraged, esp by those organisations who profit by assuming a monopoly over the lives of others.

And you’re probably wondering why I’m saying this! Reason being is, I’m completely blind, and as a person who is blind first of all, I guess I must be in authentic as I know people can be uncomfortable around persons with physical disabilities. The other reason you describe extremely well with detail. Yep! This is why I consider you one of my favorites, especially when it comes to reading body language. Thanks Marc!

    Extremely thought provoking.
    I don't want 1/4 of my default perceptions to be indifference.
    Going forward it won't be.
    Thank you, friend. 😊

    Brilliant! I'm learning so much! I never felt respected so now I'm old and grew to not ever make any attempt to reach, impress, or, win over, any adult at work. I work with young people and I did want to reach them, but didn't know about the truth plan. Well those students, don't TRUST anymore than I do, so if I can add the truth plane to my work, perhaps they will trust me a little bit.

    Hi Mark, I'm a standup comic - I just want to point out something you may be missing! From 13:00 - 16:00...They love you!! It's a very odd but important thing to note, right? Technically speaking, they're laughing, which has to indicate some sort of companionship, despite you dropping all your techniques you'd talked about the first 13 minutes. In fact, I'd argue they like you *more* from 13:00 - 16:00; the proof is in their genuine response (more authentic laughter) to your genuineness!
    I truly do believe that if you really commit to selling your authentic self, people will love you (of course, this is very challenging for most to do and opens up a host of philosophical questions; and so I would agree, the standard techniques of smiling etc. are probably good to default to). But perhaps assimilating this understanding of what's going on from 13:00 -16:00 that causes people to love you would open up a whole new avenue for you to think through. As it's a lot more specific to the individual (this expression of the true authentic self) it's probably more nuanced than the standard, general techniques.
    Great talk!

    What if you truly aren't "Indifferent" to those around you, but rather "Empathetic"? I don't find myself to be indifferent to strangers around me at all, since childhood, to the point I've had to "learn" indifference due to the fact that I would take on the heartache and pain of other's so much that "I" suffered while helping them to feel better about what was going on in their lives, rescuing them from their suffering, even though I had been suffering my own personal life issues at the same time, which in turn caused me more suffering due to taking on someone else's pain with them....I do find this all to be totally fascinating and appreciate the lesson so very much!

    Amazing talk. To be honest, around the 14:25 mark is when I started getting anxious. Of coarse I realize what the speaker was going for. Still I got so uneasy, to the point of agitation as he went on. Oddly enough there were people laughing during that part - it seemed an out of place response to me. But I gotta say - the talk was done masterfully and I know the speaker was trying to illicit the negative response in that bit, I was just surprised at how uneasy it's made me feel.

    I've often wondered why I 'act' open-hearted, open-minded, acknowledge that I am listening (willing to listen), remain empty-handed, moderate my eye contact (not too much/not too little), refrain from fidgeting etc with a person I DISLIKE or feel UNCOMFORTABLE with. I've wondered if I was some sort of fraud/fake ... or survival instinct? It is wonderful to learn from Mark's talk that it is healthy INAUTHENTICITY!

Might be a good idea to have them completely open then and seem more welcoming! Thanks for inspiration!
