Most people have tells that reveal that they're lying. These tells are not universal. The "can't look you in the eyes while lying" idea is false. If you tell people that you notice their change in voice or body language, you're showing them what their tells are, and helping them become a better liar. Asking the right questions is a relatively simple technique and, paired with active listening and identifying red flags—this will pay dividends in influencing and persuading those around you. Ask: Open-Ended Questions In the 70s, someone told me never to trust anyone if you could see white surrounding their eyeballs. They showed me a picture that got imprinted in my brain, and it creeped me out. This weird eyeball thing is called san pa ku, and the sound of the term combined with its creepy look made me think of voodoo. For decades, I’ve been secretly looking for this odd eyeball deal in people, and whenever I find it—the iris floating like that, white both on top and bottom—I worry that the person is, well, bad. I only saw it a few times, and you can bet your bottom buttons that I ran the other way. Could I trust them, lol? Well, lo and behold, the author talked about this! Turns out that san pa ku is a Japanese term. God how I love the sound of it! The author didn’t say not to trust anyone with san pa ku, phew, so I can stop with that—sounds like I had been told some voodoo superstition?! But according to the author, this eye funny can be a good indicator that a person is under stress. Ha, I had thought it was a permanent condition, something you were born with; nice to learn it’s temporary. I’m just glad that when I’m stressed (which happens to be a lot of the time), my eyeballs don’t go all san pa ku. Eek, at least I don’t think they do! This is a very long way of saying the author gets beaucoup points for including san pa ku. I never thought I’d hear about it; it was just some dreamy memory that I mentioned to no one. I loved being able to recall it and finally learn the truth about it.Cliched and redundant in parts. A lot of obvious tips. Sorry. I know that’s harsh, but I cannot lie. The word empathy is defined as the ability to emotionally understand another person by assuming their point of view. However, a lot of people think of empathy as being synonymous with weakness. They see an empathetic person as someone who is gullible and easy to manipulate psychologically. Empathy, in fact, is a strength. It utilizes your discernment and powers of observation. By being empathetic, you become a better negotiator, which is why empathy should be your weapon of choice in your arsenal of communication strategies. We are most vulnerable when in transit between locations like walking to/from your car. Parking lots and garages are popular locations for theft and assault. Make sure you have at least one hand free and scan your surroundings. If both of your hands are full you're an easy target.
