The Jordan Harbinger Show

And that's the absurdity as part of the story.

The part of the experiment that we specifically replicated was just about word lists like we didn't do the exciting porn part sure you didn't.

I think there are true believers. I think people believe that this stuff is real.

It's been described as like the gesture in the core of science because it's like a really absurd thing which is not really good.

I think we can safely assume that he believes that this is true.

So basically that is what that paper and that was posted on a mainstream psychology journal.

So it kind of illustrates that there's something maybe a bit funny with the way we do science.

And so if you dig into the statistics of the paper, there are lots of reasons where he might have been able to find what looked like a real result but actually there wasn't.

I think there are true believers. I think people believe that this stuff is real. I think people believe that we have a like a tiny, tiny tendency.

I think that study was actually fraudulent, that was made up.

while we were thinking about your question we came across a book you might find interesting it's called Breaking Into My Life and it's written by a woman who grew up with a bipolar mother I haven't read the book so I can't make any promises but it might be helpful to read someone else's experience with a parent like yours apparently the book is very revealing very helpful we'll link to that in the show notes

And you have to understand really what is driving and constraining the other in the Battlegrounds this book I just finished.

It's a page turner, Jordan. I'm telling you.

It was a long weekend but it was a good one.

You mentioned in the book, 'Battlegrounds' which will link in the show notes that going back to what you were saying, exploiting the initiative, we run the risk of slash are not doing this in Iraq and Afghanistan where we're kind of like okay, we did this big surge and we got them on their back foot. Now let's get everybody out of here and go home.

But it's including notes though. It's a page turner, Jordan. I'm telling you. Well, I read the whole thing. It was a long weekend but it was a good one.

It's a page turner, Jordan. I'm telling you.

it was like 19 hours. What is that in pages? 400 or something? 500 pages?

Guy Kawasaki, great author, I don't know if you read him, his book...

And I realized after reading that book I'd started maybe two or three companies, like I love the art of the start.

Guy Kazaki great author I don't know if you read him his book he's on the show yeah he's a friend okay awesome so he wrote this book called Art of the Start and literally I recommended it as the most important entrepreneur book anyone should read when they started business it really takes you through every aspect of thinking it through and I realized after reading that book I'd started maybe two or three companies

Today Steven Johnson author of Far Sighted is going to help us hone the process and get better at the skill of decision making.

the process of making decisions hasn't really evolved much in I don't know 100 years.

the only tool that most of us have for making complex decisions like that's the vast majority of people if they're ever taught anything about decision-making it's yeah right down to pros on one side and cons and other and see which list is longer which is better than nothing probably but it's so limited

it's almost like okay this tell me the show isn't just about like consider multiple options when making a decision right like people are going on where's the beef but people rarely do it that's the thing and they don't kind of realize it in they don't say okay let's have this period where we're just really keeping our mind open and we're deliberately trying to explore other kinds of options that are out there

his newest book is called Enemy of All-Man Kind the true story of piracy power and history's first global manhunt

that was kind of the quest that I went on in writing far-sighted as to figure out like what is the kind of the state-of-the-art in decision-making theory or science and to what extent can we like actually use these things in the real world

Stephen thank you so much it's been a great show been a fun interesting show and of course decision making is always something that if you're like able to get one percent better at it if that extrapolates or sort of ripples through your whole life well that's a worthy pursuit

his newest book is called Enemy of All-Man Kind the true story of piracy power and history's first global manhunt

but basically what the exercise does is ask you to play the role of a competitor looking to kill your company put your business out of business and then figure out ways to defend against those threats

There's absolutely no question that losing my sight the way that I did, this sort of bizarre progressive way that I lost my sight, turned out to be among the best things that ever happened in my life.

I literally saw firsthand as I was losing my sight the awesome and empowering ability that we have, the way our minds create the realities we experience.

I am so blessed the life that I live is phenomenal, family, personally, you know, as a man, spiritually, in business, and it's directly a result of this Eyes Wide Open vision.

I find the harder I work the more I have of it [luck].

We can't have a tendency to sort of misperceive the force of luck in our lives at least a couple of ways, so we think that luck is sort of good or bad.

I literally saw firsthand as I was losing my sight the awesome and empowering ability that we have, the way our minds create the realities we experience.

We can fund, obviously, circumstances beyond our control, but how those circumstances manifest themselves in a way we experience our lives is entirely within our control.

I am so blessed. The life that I live is phenomenal, family, personally, you know, as a man, spiritually, in business, and it's directly a result of this Eyes Wide Open vision. I wouldn't want to live my life any other way.

I'm a big fan of luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

I loved it and it's funny because the book reflects your personality but the narrator is kind of like this clinical person so I can just see her being like so do you really want me to read that zinc is necessary for bow chicka wow wow

it started out that I was supposed to narrate the book and then I didn't get to narrate the book I had a big ugly cry about it because I lay down some heavy stuff in this book and I wanted to be it to come from me.

Women listen to me on social media on podcasts all the time and then like I want them to feel held and supported and also I think I'm kind of funny yeah the narrator was so not funny

it was like Hillary Clinton trying to be relaxed and cool just didn't like that.

well that's why the books designed to like get in and get out so chapter one is like a quiz so if you're asked to dominate you're like quiz done go to the protocol get that going

the audiobook I loved it and it's funny because the book reflects your personality but the narrator is kind of like this clinical person so I can just see her being like so do you really want me to read that zinc is necessary for bow chicka wow wow

it's book sucks it was twelve dollars for the book three thousand dollars to replace everything you have to throw

I rarely refer to myself as doctor by the way, it's on the book title, it's on a book cover right now I'm just ribbing you.

In the book you do talk a lot about empathetic statements and there's there's quite a bit more to this but one of the rules was when you can't think of what you want to say, fall back on the empathetic statement, the target will carry on the conversation and give you time.

I'm sure that you agree there could probably use a little polish myself but thank you for your time and no you're polished, your polish buddy, you're doing it again.

the book goes into reciprocation which is kind of the Robert Cialdini stuff from back in the day, we're going to be doing something with him hopefully pretty soon.

the book title is The Truth Detector, links to that will be in the website in the show notes, please use our website links if you buy the book it does help support the show.

In the book, The Truth Detector and X FBI agents guide for getting people to reveal the truth.

This is the follow-up from your previous book, The Like Switch which will definitely have to have you come by and talk about at some point.

And so I wrote that and my first thought before writing it was okay I know that a lot of public figures when they write a memoir they tell their story to someone that person writes it down yeah and then the person I can't believe I'm using air quotes twice in the interview but the person writing the memoir the public figure just sort of helps the writer edit it yeah.

we were reading the book Before Our Work Week and we didn't have the news.

But then we were reading the book "Before Our Work Week" and we didn't have the news.
