You have been on, you know, on the scene for a while, but I think it's reasonably safe to say really burst into the national consciousness through a book about habits.

And the answer to how do we make this instinctual is to make it into a habit.

We think of a habit as one thing, but it's actually made up of three parts.

It's been you know talked about in a number of best selling books before and and well documented by psychologists um books like Power of Habit and Atomic Habits that talk about this beautifully I think...

Or you can Google Super Communicators or The Power of Habit, which is the first book that I wrote.

Charles Duhigg wrote about this as a keystone habit. He said, making your bed every morning is correlated with better productivity, a greater sense of wellbeing and stronger skills at sticking with a budget. That was in his book, The Power of Habit.

I think Charles Duhigg was just a guest on our sibling show, People I Mostly Admire. Yes?

He said a lot of us grew up watching Friends, the sitcom. They're all matched right, when Ross is surprised, he's like, and his jaw drops and his eyes get really wide. He takes a deep breath in and he pauses and he freezes and every they zoom in on his face so now everybody thinks this is what normal people look like when they're surprised. And so he also brought up Amanda Knox because she was mismatched and we don't trust people who are mismatched. So she wasn't crying and screaming and tearing her hair out when her roommate got murdered. She was like hugging her boyfriend and kissing him a little bit and just staring and they were like she did it based on her eyes or whatever because she was mismatched. That's Gladwell's.

She had mentioned that in her book about stress that you can actually tell people that they seem like the kind of person who can handle this and you see that person feeling better about their own capability and handling a specific situation or problem so that's kind of nice.

I've been raving about this book for years and years.

She kept going like multiple times throughout the last month and a half, having been reading this book, Super Communicators.

She is normally not interested in any of the guests on the podcast at all let alone reading the books and she keeps like I would say at least five times she was like so it's reading in this super communicator.

His books have sold a bazillion copies because they're quite good.

We do have signed copies of The Power of Habit and Super Communicators in the painted porch.
