Summary

The ability to accurately size someone up could spell the difference between life and death, whether you or the other guy gets the promotion, if that prospect purchases from you, or if she decides to date/marry you.

And, I can think of no better person to talk with us about predicting human behavior than Robin Dreeke, who spent more than two decades as a behavior analyst for the FBI. Today, we talk about being wary of trusting your gut, the difference between your gut and intuition, why if you're betrayed by others you may have actually betrayed yourself, manipulation, judgment, how to predict human behavior, and why it matters.

ROBIN DREEKE

My guest today is Robin Dreeke and he spent more than two decades as a behavior analyst for the FBI. He's dealt with extremely complex situations from handling Russian spies to navigating the internal politics on the Bureau.

He's written three books, It's Not All About Me, The Code of Trust, and his latest, Sizing People Up where he shares a six-step system he developed to predict anyone's behavior based on their words, goals, action, and situation.

This was such a fascinating discussion and one that if the lessons are applied, it will drastically improve every facet of your life.
