Summary

Ever wonder what someone is thinking when they flex their eyelids? Or purse their lips? In this episode of the Align podcast, Vanessa Van Edwards and I chat about the science of people. Without even realizing it, we constantly give away what we are thinking in our heads through our body language. Vanessa explains what the most common cues may mean and she also explains how we can adjust our social interactions based on our readings of people. Vanessa is Lead Investigator at Science of People. She is the bestselling author of Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People, translated into 16 languages, and Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication. More than 50 million people watch her engaging YouTube tutorials and TEDx Talk. What we discuss: 02:15: What stands out in today’s daily interactions? 08:10: Should you be faking it until you make it? 14:03: What does the eyelid flex cue mean? 31:00: Why is it so hard for people to get away with lying? 39:09: The importance of having tools 42:44: When are you trying too much? 48:52: What to do when you sense shut-down? 55:36: What is the ideal eye-contact ratio in western cultures?
