Chapter 1:Summary of Irresistible"Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It" is a book by Chris Voss, a former international hostage negotiator for the FBI. The book provides a detailed, insider's view into high-stakes negotiations, blending practical advice derived from Voss's remarkable career with the science of human psychology.Here's a summary of the key concepts and techniques presented in the book:1. The Importance of Tactical Empathy: Voss emphasizes understanding the emotions and mindset of the other party in a negotiation. He argues that by demonstrating empathy towards their feelings and viewpoints, you can create a connection that facilitates more productive negotiations.2. Mirroring: This simple yet effective technique involves repeating the last few words your counterpart has just said. It not only shows you are listening but also encourages the other person to continue talking and possibly reveal more about their position or desires.3. Labeling: This involves putting a name to a person's feelings or emotional state, which helps validate these feelings and build rapport. For example, saying “It sounds like you're feeling pressured” can help the other person feel understood and more open to solutions.4. Accusation Audit: Before a negotiation starts, Voss recommends listing every negative thing the other party could say about you and addressing them proactively. This reduces fear and defensiveness on both sides.5. Calibrated Questions: The book stresses the value of asking open-ended questions that start with "how" or "what," which encourage the counterpart to think and speak more about their position. These are designed to let the other side feel in control while you steer the conversation.6. The “No” Advantage: Contrary to popular belief, Voss argues that "no" is a powerful word in negotiations, not a failure. Getting to "no" makes the counterpart feel safe, secure, and in control, and it opens up the discussion for more honest and open dialogue.7. Bend Their Reality: Voss discusses negotiation tactics that alter the other party's perception of their choices outside of the negotiation table. Techniques like anchoring their emotions with extreme requests, or using a calibrated question when they decline, help manage their expectations and lead the negotiation towards a favorable outcome.8. Creating the Illusion of Control: The author describes how to ask calibrated questions and frame choices so that the other side feels they are making their own decisions, even though you are controlling the options available.9. “That's Right” vs. “You're Right”: Getting the counterpart to say “That's right” by summarizing their perspective accurately generates better cooperation. In contrast, “You're right” is often a polite shutdown to an unwanted conversation.10. The 7-38-55 Percent Rule: Essential in understanding communication in negotiations, Voss points out that only 7% of a message is based on the words used, 38% comes from the tone of voice, and 55% from the speaker's body language and facial expressions."Never Split the Difference" is rich with strategies for negotiating more effectively, focusing on psychological tactics and practical advice, derived from years of real-life high-stress negotiations. The book is a guide for anyone who wants to improve their negotiation skills, whether in business, personal relationships, or any other aspect of life.Chapter 2:The Theme of Irresistible"Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked" by Adam Alter is a book published in 2017 that explores the development of addictive technologies and the psychological and social implications of our growing dependence on them.

We've had a lot of new listeners join us of the past year, so while we're hard at work on our next season, we thought we'd share some favorites you might have missed from the archives. Since this episode was first published, the Surgeon General has issued an advisory about the effects of social media on youth mental health, and, more recently, called for warning label on all social media platforms. Time with family, friends and loved ones is supposed to be at the center of the holiday season … but in our screen-dominated world, how many of us can say that's still true?Our devices are purposefully designed to monopolize our attention and make themselves hard to put down. So even though we know that spending too much time staring at screens is bad for us, the addiction can be hard to break. With the New Year almost upon us, why not try to make a new start? Join Dave as he tries to put down his phone and find a little spiritual renewal with advice from marketing professor Adam Alter and Tech Shabbat advocate Rabbi Sydney Mintz. Adam Alter is the author of Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked. To find out more about Adam's work, including his forthcoming book, Anatomy of a Breakthrough, visit his website. In addition to serving as the Rabbi of Temple Emanu-El in San Francisco for 25 years, Sydney Mintz is also an activist, writer, and performer. Find out more about the many projects she's involved in on her website. Find out more about the ideas behind Tech Shabbat in Tiffany Shlain's book 24/6: Giving Up Screens One Day a Week to Get More Time, Creativity, and Connection. To learn more about the spiritual aspects of Shabbat, Rabbi Mintz recommends reading The Sabbath, by Abraham Joshua Heschel.

Adam treats dependence and addiction in some ways different and unique than past guests who have covered addiction. One way is the business side. For example, early in this conversation, he talks about how people at companies that create products designed to addict, like cell phones, tablets, and the apps and games on them, don't allow their children to use them. Yet they gleefully reach trillion-dollar valuations based on making it difficult for children or anyone to stop using their products.Is this pattern not outrageous? Adam reinforces about how widespread the patterns are.The result is growth in addiction beyond anything before and people keep finding more ways to addict. People often feel isolated and helpless. Addiction wrecks your self-esteem. We miss that our culture supports it. Adam shares how they keep us coming back for things we don't even like.Adam teaches at one of the world's top business schools. He doesn't oppose business, but he explores our culture's addiction problems. He elaborates on the problems, research, and possible solutions.At the end, I ask him his thoughts about the viability of contracts and society when people can control others as predictably and effectively as by coercing through threat or violence. We as individuals are outmatched by corporations and institutions able to control people this effectively with big, long-term consequences.Adam's home pageHis book Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked Hosted on Acast.

"The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked"

In this episode, professor of Marketing at New York University's Stern School of Business and the Robert Stansky Teaching Excellence Faculty Fellow, Dr. Adam Alter, returns to the podcast. Today, we'll discuss his new book, Anatomy of a Breakthrough: How to Get Unstuck When It Matters Most. Whether you've had a great year, a downright awful year or a lukewarm, we're-making-it year, the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 bring a mental fresh start.

Tech companies, including Apple, Facebook, Netflix, and others, go to great lengths to hook us and keep us addicted to their devices and programs. The deliberateness and details of how they do it are shocking. And the addiction is so harmful, many tech execs (like Steve Jobs) don't allow their own kids to use the devices. Listen, and learn from NYU's Adam Alter.

Welcome to an interview with Gaia Bernstein, a Law Professor, Director of the Institute for Privacy Protection and Co-Director of the Gibbons Institute for Law Science and Technology at the Seton Hall University School of Law. She writes, teaches and lectures in the intersection of law, technology, health and privacy. Gaia is also the mother of three children who grew up in a world of smartphones, iPads and social networks. Her forthcoming book: Unwired: Gaining Control Over Addictive Technologies shatters the illusion that we can control how much time we spend on our screens by resorting to self-help measures. Unwired shifts the responsibility for a solution from users to the technology industry, which designs its products to addict. The book draws out the legal action that can pressure the technology industry to re-design its products to reduce technology overuse. Gaia has academic degrees in both law and psychology. Her research combines findings from psychology, sociology, science and technology studies with law and policy. Gaia's research has been featured extensively by the media including the New York Times, Forbes, ABC News and Psychology Today. Gaia has spearheaded the development of the Seton Hall University School of Law Institute for Privacy Protection's Student-Parent Outreach Program. The nationally acclaimed Outreach Program addresses over-use of screens by focusing on developing a healthy online-offline balance and the impact on privacy and online reputation. It was featured by the Washington Post, CBS Morning News and Common-Sense Media. Gaia delivers lectures to parents and general audiences about the harms of excessive screen time, the effectiveness of self-help measures, and the options for technology re-design through social and legal action.

Video games, social media, and technology in general are designed to be addictive. Jeremy Edge, LPC, explains why this can be particularly problematic for adolescents with ADHD, and how to instill healthy screen habits in your teen.

Many of us have made great efforts to control our technology use, but is it working? I've invited Gaia Bernstein, author of Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies to the podcast today to discuss how this is more than an individual issue. We explore digital connection along with how community efforts and national policies can help us gain control of our technology use.

Do you feel like you have no control over the time you spend on your cell phone?   In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Gaia Bernstein about why that's the case for so many of us. While it may feel like it, it's not your fault if you're addicted to social media. This is because there are experts in human psychology and behavior working for these social media giants who are doing everything in their power to keep you coming back for more.    But what most of us don't realize is they're also great at giving us the illusion that it's our fault that we can't stop picking up our phones to scroll through social media. They give us screen time monitoring tools, the ability to turn off notifications, and more tools of this sort to make us feel like we have some type of control over how we use our phones. And when we fail at staying off the platforms, we blame ourselves.   We also chat about the impact our screen time has on our relationships, our mental health, and our sense of connection with our community.    Gaia Bernstein is the Technology, Privacy, and Policy Professor of Law, Co-Director of the Institute for Privacy Protection, and Co-Director of the Gibbons Institute of Law Science and Technology. Professor Bernstein specializes in law and technology, information privacy, health privacy, intellectual property, law and genetics, and reproductive technologies. She is also the founding director of the Institute for Privacy Protection. She created and spearheaded the Institute's nationally recognized Outreach Program, which educated parents and students about technology overuse and privacy.   What we discuss:   01:43: How technology, law, and health came together for Gaia 06:41: How is personal connection impacted by technology? 08:10: Where is the line between the good and bad of technology? 10:53: How can we gain our power back again? 15:16: Data and privacy; what are we giving up? 18:28: Where did we go wrong with technology? 19:42: What's the harm of these technologies? 24:22: How can we get control back over technology? 28:03: What can we do to empower ourselves and the community? 34:08: How can we balance the dangers of technology? 42:07: Is technology making us less smart? 43:22: How would Gaia implement measures around technology? 51:09: Is Gaia optimistic about the future legal implications around technology? 55:58: Where to learn more about Gaia and unwiring yourself from addictive technologies   Find more from Darin:   Website: https://darinolien.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/ Book: https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/ Down to Earth: https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/     Find more from Gaia:   Website: https://gaiabernstein.com/ Book: Unwired: Gaining Control Over Addictive Technologies     More links:   Shop Bite and use code DARIN20 to save 20% on your Bite subscription.

"I think having a "Food and Drug administration' for technology would be great. And one of the other ones that people bring up is this idea of the Hippocratic Oath, which suggests that if you're in the medical field, you're supposed to above all else, do no harm. That's your kind of guiding light, and it's a really useful, basic philosophical idea to use as your guide when you make decisions because it forces you to do this kind of pros and cons analysis with everything you're doing.There is no Hippocratic Oath for tech, but it's a great idea, right? If Facebook says, 'We're going to introduce the like button, what's the worst that can happen?' Turns out some pretty bad stuff can happen. But if you don't ask that question, you just don't turn your mind to those questions - or maybe you aren't forced to, maybe you know that they're there, but you just don't really look at the sun because the potential negatives are kind of overwhelming. So I agree, some oversight would be great. And that's why a lot of people think government legislation is critical with respect to technology because we can't just rely on consumers to empower themselves when everything is being done to undermine that power, and the government might need to get involved in some form."Adam Alter is a Professor of Marketing at NYU's Stern School of Business and the Robert Stansky Teaching Excellence Faculty Fellow.

"I lived in New York City for a long time and about five years ago, my wife and I, with our two then very, very young kids, decided we wanted to leave the city. And I love Central Park. I love the city. There's so much to love about it. I wanted more outdoors, and I wanted more nature. I wanted water and trees, and I wanted things that I couldn't only find in Central Park. I wanted it to be all around. And so we moved out to Connecticut where we live, not so far from the water. There is unbelievable beauty out here. I run almost every day or go for long walks. And so for me, being in natural environments is really critical to my welfare. It's how I grew up in Australia. It's something that I missed for a long time when I was in the heart of Manhattan. A lot of people don't feel that way, but for me, that's personally very important." "We'll look at old news reels, and we'll look at ads from the fifties, sixties, seventies, the dawn of TV, really. And we look at those ads, and we sort of laugh in a superior way because they look so naive. And you're right, there is something very humane about them. They're very straightforward. They don't seem to be trying too hard to convince you of anything. And if they do, they just seem so obvious now. There's no trickery there. There's no chicanery. It's right there in front of you.

They weren't bombarded.”https://adamalterauthor.com www.penguin.co.uk/books/431386/irresistible-by-adam-alter/9781784701659 www.simonandschuster.com/books/Anatomy-of-a-Breakthrough/Adam-Alter/9781982182960www.stern.nyu.edu/faculty/bio/adam-alterwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

It's one of the axioms in thinking about creativity in general. You need time. An artist, a writer. I'm a writer. I need time on my own. I also paint and draw. I cannot do that with other people around. It's just my process. But before you get there, before you get to that point where you need that time alone, that space apart, for almost everyone being around other people is good. It's good for creativity. It's both about diversity of opinion and idea and just about having more - just more information, more thoughts, more ways of looking at the world. And some of the most profound research I've come across in preparing for this book suggested that it's better to be around people who are deeply incompetent than it is to be around no one, which I found very surprising.I always thought, yeah, you want to surround yourself with people who are really good at the thing you're trying to do because it'll rub off on you, and you'll end up being better. You know, you'll pick up bits and pieces from them, but the really fascinating idea is that even people who do something worse than you do it are actually good for your creative process, which I hadn't really thought of much. But there's some really robust evidence to that effect, which suggests that there's not much cost to bringing other people's brains into the creative process, and I think that's one potential use of screens and tech, AI, and VR tech, is that you can bring in more ideas and greater diversity into the way you think about any creative process."https://adamalterauthor.com www.penguin.co.uk/books/431386/irresistible-by-adam-alter/9781784701659 www.simonandschuster.com/books/Anatomy-of-a-Breakthrough/Adam-Alter/9781982182960www.stern.nyu.edu/faculty/bio/adam-alterwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

"So there are analog solutions to the digital problem. I think the single biggest solution, for most people, at least in terms of low-hanging fruit, the most obvious place to begin is to just say, I'm going to carve out time every day, create habits where I will not be near my devices at certain times of the day. It might be dinner time, maybe no matter where I am, whom I'm with, or what I'm doing, I will not during dinnertime use a device. Or it might be the first hour of the day. A lot of people do that, spend the first hour of the day tech-free. Have a cup of coffee, if that's what you like to do, read a physical newspaper, or just read a book - whatever you want to do. Or be with your kids or loved ones, depends what your situation is. And then the same before bed. So between 60 and 90 minutes before bed, don't use a phone. And even those small changes, no phone at dinner time, no phone first hour of the day, no phone an hour before bed. That will change your life.It gives you back about two and a half hours of your day, which people when they start doing it, say, I can't believe I've lost that much time. So I think that there are many things we can do. We just have to make the decision to do them."Adam Alter is a Professor of Marketing at NYU's Stern School of Business and the Robert Stansky Teaching Excellence Faculty Fellow.

"So there are different parts of the brain responsible for liking and wanting. So wanting is unbelievably robust in the brain. In other words, the neural connections are very robust, and wanting is what drives most addictive behavior. It's when you really want something, like you want a cigarette, you want alcohol, a drug, whatever it is, that's your poison. And actually, screens for some people as well. The liking part. When you say to people, what does it mean to be addicted to something? A lot of people say it's, 'You really like it so much that you just keep going back to it.'It's actually not about liking. What actually happens is that, in the beginning, liking and wanting go together. So let's pick something like a cigarette. If you start smoking in the beginning, you like the experience of smoking, and you also really want the nicotine. You want the cigarette. They go hand in hand, but eventually what happens is the liking is much more fragile, and it decays. And what's left is the wanting. And often in the absence of liking, it's kind of like a bad relationship. Like if you're in a bad romantic relationship, it starts out being about wanting and liking, but then the liking goes away, and you just kind of want to be with a person, even though you know it's undermining your welfare. That's effectively addiction. The real skill today is figuring out how to create space between you and your tech devices."Adam Alter is a Professor of Marketing at NYU's Stern School of Business and the Robert Stansky Teaching Excellence Faculty Fellow.

Time with family, friends and loved ones is supposed to be at the center of the holiday season… but in our screen-dominated world, how many of us can say that's still true? Our devices are purposefully designed to monopolize our attention and make themselves hard to put down. So even though we know that spending too much time staring at screens is bad for us, the addiction can be hard to break. With the New Year almost upon us, why not try to make a new start? Join Dave as he tries to put down his phone and find a little spiritual renewal with advice from marketing professor Adam Alter and Tech Shabbat advocate Rabbi Sydney Mintz.
