What Makes People Like You & The Power and Benefits of Asking for What You Need

You know when you see a really good dancer? What separates the good ones from the not-so-good ones? Well, it is all about one specific part of the body. I start this episode by telling which body part that is and why it is so important. http://www.nature.com/articles/srep42435 Ever wonder why some people are so much more likable than others? Nicholas Boothman knows. He has researched this and authored a book on the subject called How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less (https://amzn.to/3RVLybP) Listen as he joins me to explain what it is that will get people to like you and how to avoid doing and saying those things that turn people off. It seems like common sense that if you need something from someone else, you just ask them. Yet asking for help is hard for so many of us. We like to think we can and should do things for ourselves. However, asking others for help may be a really smart things to do for reasons beyond what you ever imagined. It not only does NOT make you look weak, it does just the opposite. And the truth is people like to help – but only if you ask. Listen as I talk about this with Wayne Baker, professor of Business Administration & Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. He is also author of the book All You Have to Do is Ask (https://amzn.to/2VMts12) and he joins me to explain the amazing power and benefits of asking for what you need. As we have discussed before, there is very little evidence that Vitamin C has much effect in preventing or curing the common cold. But there is conclusive evidence that Vitamin C is good for another problem that all of deal with from time to time. Listen and I will tell you what that is. https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200304/vitamin-c-stress-buster PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
