Understanding your audience's psychology is the key to crafting communication that resonates.Persuading others isn't about magic spells or mind-reading tricks. According to Emily Falk, the real secret is simpler: know what your audience finds relevant, and you'll be able to craft a message that resonates.Falk is a professor of communication, psychology, and marketing at the University of Pennsylvania, Vice Dean of the Annenberg School of Communication, and director of the Communication Neuroscience Lab. In her book What We Value: The Neuroscience of Choice and Change, she reveals that our brains have what she calls a "social relevance system" — our ability to understand what other people are thinking and feeling. "I use social relevance as this kind of catchall for these thoughts about what other people are thinking and feeling, which also helps us predict what they're gonna do and how we might communicate successfully with them," she explains.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Falk and host Matt Abrahams explore how to put this insight into practice, from the power of storytelling to leveraging "neural synchrony" to create shared understanding. Whether you're motivating a team or influencing a customer, Falk offers science-backed strategies for tapping into your audience's psychology and communicating with relevance.Episode Reference Links:Emily FalkEmily's Book: What We ValueEp.39 Brains Love Stories: How Leveraging Neuroscience Can Capture People's EmotionsEp.188 Mind Reading 101: To Know What Your Audience Thinks, Just Ask  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:47) - Neuroscience & Behavior Prediction (04:05) - Brain Systems in Persuasion (05:28) - Tailoring Messages for Impact (08:06) - Psychological Closeness & Relevance (10:34) - Power of Storytelling (13:48) - Neural Synchrony & Shared Meaning (15:33) - Better Conversations Through Sync (20:11) - Rapid-Fire Q&A with Emily Falk (24:23) - Conclusion  ********This Episode is brought to you by Strawberry.me.

Great ideas often die, not because they're wrong, but because no one knows how to influence others to act on them. In leading today's complex organizations, it's not enough to be right. The real challenge for leaders is getting people to change behavior, and stay changed. In this episode, we sit down with Joseph Grenny, co-author of Crucial Conversations and one of the world's leading experts on influence and behavior change, to unpack the science and strategy behind lasting behavior change using his powerful Six Sources of Influence framework. We explore the difference between persuasion and true influence, why most change efforts fail, and how even well-intentioned leaders often rely on the wrong tools—like incentives or policies—when they should be focusing on motivation, social systems, and structural design. Joseph shares real-world stories, including how The Other Side Academy transformed the lives of former felons without a single failed drug test in over a decade. We also look at corporate examples, such as how to pitch ideas internally, how to harness peer pressure the right way, diagnose resistance to change, and why influence always begins with empathy, not authority. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Psychiatrist Carolyn Rodriguez studies hoarding disorder and says that all of us have attachments to our possessions. But for many, these attachments can disrupt daily life and even pose health risks. For those with loved ones who struggle with hoarding disorder, she says treatments exist, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Lately, she's been studying how virtual reality can augment CBT through virtual discarding practice and ways brain stimulation may improve symptoms. But, Rodriguez says, never underestimate the value of empathy for those in need of help, as she tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

In this  episode I speak with behavioral economist Dr. Katie Milkman who breaks down the powerful concepts of friction, nudge, and sludge that fundamentally shape how professionals make decisions in healthcare, finance, and education. Milkman, author of "How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where you Are to Where you Want to Be" and co-founder of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative, reveals how choice architecture influences everything from patient compliance to retirement savings, explaining why good intentions often fail and how smart design can bridge the intention-action gap.  Katy explains how removing friction and eliminating sludge can dramatically improve outcomes for physicians treating chronic diseases, leaders implementing organizational change, and designers creating user experiences that actually work.  This research-backed discussion provides actionable insights for social scientists, healthcare professionals, and decision-makers who want to understand the psychology behind behavior change and apply evidence-based strategies to improve professional and patient outcomes in their respective fields.

Katy Milkman is the James G. Dinan Professor at the Wharton School, the host of Charles Schwab's Choiceology podcast, and co-directs the Behavior Change for Good Initiative. Sophia Pink is a PhD student at the Wharton School studying decision-making and behavior change. They join Julie Kratz on the Allyship in Action podcast to discuss their new research on the gender gap in competition. They highlight that women are, on average, less likely to enter competitions (like applying for jobs or promotions) than equally qualified men, a phenomenon observed across many decades and countries, even at the top of the labor market. Key takeaways form this conversation: The Persistent Gender Gap in Competitive Environments and Its Consequences: The discussion begins by establishing the well-documented phenomenon that women, on average, are less likely to enter competitions (like applying for jobs or promotions) than equally qualified men. The speakers emphasize that while this reluctance is not inherently negative in all contexts, it can significantly disadvantage women in crucial career advancement opportunities, particularly for leadership roles that often require navigating multiple competitive stages. This theme highlights the problem and its potential impact on gender equity in the workplace. Leveraging Psychological Insights for Intervention: The Power of Stereotype Reactance: The central focus of the new research is the innovative application of "stereotype reactance" as a potential solution. The researchers hypothesized and found that informing women about the existing gender gap in competition could paradoxically increase their likelihood of applying for jobs. This is attributed to women's potential desire to resist conforming to negative stereotypes and a motivation to take action against the observed inequality. This theme underscores the use of behavioral science principles to design effective interventions for addressing the gender gap. Systemic and Just-in-Time Approaches for Organizational Change: The conversation moves beyond individual behavior change to discuss broader organizational strategies. Recommendations include implementing "default" mechanisms where individuals are automatically considered for opportunities unless they opt out, and providing timely reminders or prompts at the point of decision-making. The speakers emphasize that while long-term cultural shifts are challenging, these more immediate, systemic adjustments and "just-in-time" interventions can create a more equitable playing field by mitigating the impact of confidence barriers and internalized norms. This theme focuses on practical, actionable steps organizations can take to address the competition gap and promote gender equity. Actionable Allyship Takeaway: When you see a woman hesitating to pursue an opportunity for which she is qualified, gently remind her of the gender competition gap by saying something like, "Hey, men tend to apply for this, don't let gender stereotypes hold you back," to encourage her to take the chance .

Why do most transformation efforts fail, even when people are deeply committed? In this thought-provoking episode of The Leadership Project, Michael Lopez, transformation coach and author of Change, unpacks the science behind why change is so hard and what we've been getting wrong all along. With over 20 years of experience helping organizations navigate complex change, Lopez challenges the conventional, rational-only approach and introduces six brain-based strategies to make change stick, both personally and systemically.Rather than focusing on willpower or generic frameworks, Lopez dives into the biology of transformation. He explains how the brain and body respond to change as a perceived threat, which often sabotages even our best intentions. Using real-world examples, including a remarkable case where a failing nuclear plant climbed from the bottom 10 percent to top 10 percent performance in just a year, he reveals how aligning change efforts with our neurobiology unlocks lasting results. His framework begins with understanding what's really going on, fostering individual ownership, and building a movement rather than enforcing compliance.The episode also flips popular beliefs on stress and failure. Lopez makes a compelling case that stress, when properly framed, is not the enemy but a key ingredient for growth. He unpacks how challenge strengthens the anterior mid-cingulate cortex, the part of the brain that helps us overcome difficulty. From building new habits to transforming entire teams, you'll walk away with a practical, science-backed blueprint to navigate change effectively and sustainably. Whether you're leading others or leading yourself, this is a must-listen.

Have you ever wanted to just start over, to hit control, alt, delete on your life and start from scratch? A few years ago, my wife Mel and I asked ourselves a terrifying question: What if we let it all go and started over? The answer sent us down an unexpected path, one that taught us a lot about freedom, burnout, and the science of change. In this episode, I unpack our story, explore the psychology behind the Fresh Start Effect, and reveal why the timing of change might matter more than the tools.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Have you heard these myths about toxic work environments? 1. "It's just part of the job, suck it up." 2. "If you speak up, you'll be seen as a troublemaker." 3. "You're overreacting, it's not that bad." I'll share the truth about these toxic workplace myths, but trust me, you'll want to stick around for the real strategies. In this episode, you will be able to: Mastering strategies for creating psychological safety at work can transform team dynamics and boost productivity. Navigating toxic work environments requires understanding the impact on employee well-being and organizational success.

Are you a serial snacker? Is there ALWAYS room for dessert? Do you find yourself feeling hungry throughout the day, despite just eating? Or maybe you notice reaching for a bag of chips whenever you're feeling stressed? Did you know that there are actually different types of hunger that can shape our eating habits? Spoiler: You're NOT broken!Welcome to Salad with a Side of Fries, the podcast where we dig into the surprising truths about how we eat and why. Today, host and health coach Jenn Trepeck is tackling a topic that's far more complex than it seems: hunger. We're going to explore the fascinating world of hedonic hunger, the kind driven by pure pleasure, and how it can often override our natural homeostatic hunger, that biological signal that tells us we actually need fuel. We'll also explore how processed foods significantly impact our hunger signals and strategies for managing each type. Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about your cravings and your plate, because by the end of this episode, you'll have a whole new understanding of what it means to truly be hungry. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Hedonic hunger, driven by dopamine, can override the biological drive of homeostatic hunger(06:48) Hunger is not a moral failing, and how to identify homeostatic hunger(12:01) Cravings versus hunger, and studies show high nutrient density diets reduce hunger pains and cravings(16:58) Is it hunger, or is it restriction, and hedonic hunger involves eating for pleasure, triggered by ultra-processed foods or stress(22:47) Controlling hedonic hunger(27:35) Emotional hunger is eating to cope with emotions, and recognizing emotional eating is key to managing it(33:50) Conditioned hunger is defined as a learned response to stimuli or situations(37:55) Hidden hunger is defined as cellular micronutrient deficiency, often from processed foods(43:00) Toxic hunger is defined as discomfort from processed food toxins(47:34) Nutrient-dense, whole foods emphasized as key to balancing all hunger typesKEY TAKEAWAYS:Hunger is multifaceted and often extends beyond the need for energy. There are several types of hunger—hedonic, emotional, conditioned, hidden, and toxic—that are distinct from basic physiological (homeostatic) hunger. This indicates that a complex interplay of pleasure can drive eating, emotions, learned responses, and even cellular deficiencies or toxic exposures, rather than just an empty stomach.Understanding the various drivers of hunger is crucial for managing eating behaviors effectively. Recognizing whether hunger is due to a biological need, an emotional state, a learned trigger, or even a cellular deficiency allows individuals to address the root cause more effectively. For example, emotional eating requires different strategies than homeostatic hunger.Food quality has a significant impact on hunger and overall well-being. Eating Nutrient-dense foods can reduce true hunger pains and cravings, while processed foods contribute to "hidden" and "toxic" hunger due to nutrient deficiencies and the presence of toxins. This underscores the importance of whole, unprocessed foods not just for satiety, but also for preventing various forms of discomfort and health issues often mistaken for hunger.QUOTES: (07:13) "The body only has so many ways to communicate with us." - Jenn Trepeck(14:21) “Eating nutrient-dense foods minimizes hunger pains." - Jenn Trepeck(21:06) “Hedonic hunger is when people get into that shame and blame and beat themselves up.” - Jenn Trepeck(31:12) “One of the best questions my therapist ever asked me was, where am I not being fed?" - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: HungerThe Bulls-Eye of Change

How victim, villain, and helpless stories sabotage our most important conversations.The hardest conversations aren't just about what you say to the other person. According to Joseph Grenny, critical conversations begin with the stories that you tell yourself.As a leading expert on business performance and communication, and a New York Times bestselling co-author of Crucial Conversations, Grenny explains that navigating high-stakes communication starts by examining the internal narratives we bring into these situations. “You and I use three consistent types of stories in these moments that don't serve us well,” he says: Victim stories (emphasizing our innocence), villain stories (demonizing the other person), and helpless stories (justifying our poor responses). "Those three kinds of stories are what amp up our emotions and justify us in our unhealthy responses," he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Grenny joins Matt Abrahams to share practical strategies for mastering difficult conversations through what he calls "TLC" — truth, love, and competence. From recognizing your motives during conflict to accepting your role in creating it, he offers tools for staying focused on what you really want rather than getting hijacked by short-term emotional impulses.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium Episode Reference Links:Joseph GrennyJoseph's Book: Crucial Conversations  Ep.105 Radical Candor: The Communication Shift That Can Transform Your CareerEp.148 Conviction and Compassion: How to Have Hard Conversations  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:16) - Influence & Why It Matters (04:15) - Truth & Love: The Foundation of Accountability (06:35) - Showing You Care & Respect Others (08:19) - Recognizing Motives in High-Stakes Moment (14:13) - Managing Emotions in Crucial Conversations (20:08) - The Final Three Questions (25:24) - Conclusion    ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

EP. 213: In this episode of The Dr. Tyna Show, I'm joined by one of the world's leading experts on peptides and cellular medicine, Dr. William Seeds. Dr. Seeds is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with over 25 years of experience and the founder of the Seeds Scientific Research and Performance Institute. He's also hosting the upcoming Peptide World Congress this June 2025 in Las Vegas, where I'm honored to be speaking on the main stage! Together, we dive into a conversation that goes far beyond the basics of GLP-1s. We explore how these peptides can support not just weight loss, but also behavior change, neuroplasticity, and metabolic function. Dr. Seeds shares fresh insights into how GLP-1s affect the brain, why they must be paired with strength training, and the dangers of overreliance or overdosing.  Topics Discussed:  What are the benefits of GLP-1 medications beyond weight loss? How do GLP-1s like Ozempic affect neuroplasticity and behavior change? Why is strength training essential when using GLP-1 peptides for fat loss? Can you customize GLP-1 dosing based on patient sensitivity and metabolism? What are the risks of overusing or overdosing GLP-1 medications like Ozempic?

In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, we explore the evolving landscape of wellness strategies, focusing on how pharmaceutical supports can be integrated into a holistic approach to health for midlife wellness. We discuss the importance of maintaining fundamental wellness practices while considering medical interventions as complementary tools rather than replacements. Key Points from this Episode: Understanding the role of pharmaceutical supports, including hormone therapy, weight management medications, and prescribed supplements in modern wellness The critical importance of maintaining fundamental health practices like hydration, sleep, nutrition, mindset, and movement Why taking an integrated approach (combining medical interventions with basic wellness practices) leads to better outcomes This episode emphasizes that while modern medical interventions can be valuable tools in our wellness journey, they work best when built upon a strong foundation of basic health practices. The message is clear: it's not about choosing between medical supports and fundamentals – it's about thoughtfully combining both for optimal results.
