One can know a man from his laugh, and if you like
a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say that he
is a good man. |

The Way Our
Mind
Works
The language of brain are pictures, sounds, feelings, tastes
and smells, i.e. inputs from your senses.
Your brain cannot work with
negative information, i.e. inputs you haven't experienced. It can work only
with positive information, i.e. "information from the experiences of your
five senses, which it then manipulates in the emotional blender we call the
imagination," says Nicholas Boothman, the author of
How To Connect in
Business. |

Beliefs and
Values
Beliefs are the
assumptions we make about ourselves, about others in the world and about how
we expect things to be. "These assumptions determine the way we behave and
shape our decision-making process.
They are often based on emotions rather than facts. We tend to notice
'facts' that reinforce our beliefs," says Mo Shapiro, the author of

Listen Intently to the
Specific Words People Use
Ask a simple
open-ended question. Then,
be quiet and make note of the exact words the other person uses. When a
person answers an open-ended question, he stops focusing outward and goes
inside his mind. At that instant, he becomes relatively unaware of the words
he uses. Those words point back in time to meaningful memories and emotional
experiences.
Just
listen. "Most people tell you more about themselves than
they think. Add those words to the facial expressions and
body language. What you get is the
beginning of an in-depth psychological profile. Once you get that, you will
get a much better understanding of how to build
rapport and
trust; how to
connect to that person; what to
promise, and how to fulfill those promises," advises Michael Lovas, the
author of Reading People...

Meditate
Meditation is an effective way to understand the world and yourself.
By exploring the here-and-now of yourselves you can explore the world.
Unless you investigate the world within you can never know reality – you
will only know your beliefs about it, or your intellectual conceptions
of it. By observing yourselves, however, you can come to
know reality directly and
can learn to deal with it in a

Positive,

way.
