Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with producer Jason DeFilippo.

On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets and skills of the world's most brilliant and interesting people

and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you.

Today, if you've ever heard of the concept of emotional intelligence or EQ, today's guest literally invented the term.

Today we're talking with one of the OG science writers when it comes to human behavior and how our people skills actually matter as much or even more than our other cognitive abilities

and can be an even greater predictor of success, by the way. Today we'll cover some brain science and how blind people can sometimes still see emotions.

This will blow your mind. The evolution of our brain and why we reflexively mirror the emotions of others is another topic of the day.

And this is how we can sometimes read people's minds, so to speak. Something I'd think we'd all like to master.

We'll even touch on the science behind why we start to look like our partners, how emotions become contagious,

and even some of the science behind why people act like jerks on the internet. I was surprised there even was science behind that, but you know, you be the judge.

Daniel and I had a great time doing this show. He and I have a lot in common and really clicked here.

This episode was like talking to an old friend. If that old friend, of course, had been one of the most revolutionary thinkers in the field of human performance and behavior.

If you want to know how we manage to book all these great guests and manage relationships with high performing people, amazing folks of all walks of life and lots of them, by the way.

Check out our six minute networking course. It's free. It's at Jordan Harbinger.com slash course. I would love to teach you these skills. They're not that hard. They take a few minutes today.

And most of the guests on the show actually subscribe to the course in the newsletter. So come join us. You'll be in great company even if I do say so myself. All right. Here's Daniel Goldman.

One thing that when I was reading the books, I kept kept coming up on, which is almost cliche at this point, which is that technology is keeping us from connecting.

And I think everyone has talked about this or heard about this on the news recently. But I wanted to have you on the show because you're the you're the expert on the science of this instead of just like my parents.
