Now that so much of our communications are digital, such as texts, emails, and chats, we miss out on the tone and facial expressions to help us understand the intent and content in communication. It’s important to know ourselves well enough to know what areas we’ll be more easily influenced and are susceptible to being deceived. The greater our desire for something to be true, the easier it is for us to be scammed.

Today’s guest is Mark Bowden. Mark is a world-renowned body language expert, keynote speaker, and best-selling author. He is the founder of the communication training company, TruthPlane. Mark is also a member of The Behavior Panel on YouTube.

Show Notes:

[1:08] - Mark shares his background and what motivated him to specialize in human behavior.
[2:34] - There are parts of the brain that are activated when we first meet someone new.
[3:56] - Think about how many people you see on a regular day. Some you will notice and some you will not.
[7:03] - There are certain parts of the brain that can overwrite natural instinct.
[10:02] - Mark demonstrates how body language changes when there is perceived risk.
[14:50] - Body language signals can be perceived inaccurately. People can also change their body language to send different signals.
[17:15] - So many signals that our brains rely on in communication disappear when we cannot see the person we’re talking to.
[19:16] - Mark gives an example of how the human brain perceives the bait of a scam.
[22:48] - The first step in critical thinking is to suspend judgment.
[25:58] - “You can only con a greedy man.” Think about what you want so much that if it were offered, you lose your sense of judgment.
[28:33] - If anyone ever tells you that something seems like it isn’t true, suspend judgment and look into it.
[30:32] - It’s a risky world. There are people who have dedicated their lives to deceiving others.
[35:13] - Part of critical thinking is asking other people whom you trust about what they think.
[39:56] - Sometimes we will set people up to see how they will respond.
[43:11] - It is best to have an open mind and be willing to see things for what they are over what you want them to be.
