Descripción del Episodio

“Never cry at work!” has been common, long-standing advice for employees. Still, people DO cry at work sometimes – so what do other people think of those people? This episode begins with how people perceive their colleagues when they see them crying on the job. https://time.com/4513209/cry-crying-at-work-tears/

Some people are just more persuasive than others. If you would like to be one of those more persuasive people, listen to my guest Brian Ahearn. Brian Ahearn is here to talk about how to apply the science of influence and persuasion in your everyday life so people will do what you ask them to. Brian is author of the book, Influence PEOPLE: Powerful Everyday Opportunities to Persuade that are Lasting and Ethical (https://amzn.to/2oH9xlu).

The world seems a lot more cautious than it used to be. All you have to do is look at all the warning labels on a new step ladder to understand what I mean. Certainly kids today are taught to be far more cautious than in earlier generations. Sure, it’s good to be careful, but there are some unintended consequences to living in a world where there are so many rules and warnings. Tracey Brown has researched our overly cautious society and found some very surprising things which are in her book Playing By The Rules: How Our Obsession with Safety is Putting Us At Risk (https://amzn.to/2nUUSTJ). Tracey joins me to reveal that the world today is not as dangerous as people think and how all these rules are harming our children and our way of life.
