  Speaker 1: We all have bad days. One day, you might be
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: getting ready to leave work only for your boss to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: stop you and tell you that you need to work overtime.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: You're upset by this, but he made some reasonable points,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: so you stayed anyway. The day has been frustrating, so
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you drive recklessly, seeking an adrenaline rush to momentarily escape
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the stress, knowing that you have no one to talk to.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: You could probably call your friends, but you don't want
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to come off as a downer, constantly venting your frustrations
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to others, so you keep everything to yourself. You wonder,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: how did it get like this? There is something that
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: can help you, a tool that can answer your questions
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and help you defend yourself from feeling that way. That
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: tool is psychology. You don't need a degree or expensive
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: textbooks to wield the power of psychology. The knowledge is
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: out there, you just need to find it. Psychology is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: multi-purpose and can take many forms to help you in
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: every aspect of your life. A shield against manipulation. That
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: hypothetical boss of yours raised some good points, or so
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: it seemed. How sure are you that you weren't just
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: being manipulated? Putting the hypothetical situation aside, your friends, family,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and peers could manipulate you in ways you are unaware of.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: We're not saying this to make you paranoid. Anyone can
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: be manipulative. You've probably manipulated someone before, even if it
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: was unintentional. The only way to really know whether or
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: not someone is trying to manipulate you is by finding
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the key factors of manipulative tactics. This is an aspect
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of psychology that is well researched, for better or worse.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Some of the most commonly circulated books that help millions
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of people are not so secret guides on how to manipulate.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Dale Carnegie's famous book, How to Win Friends and Influence People,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: has helped many people grow in their careers and feel
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: more confident through the power of psychology. The book isn't
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: shy about what it's teaching you. With the title proclaiming
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: that it will teach you to influence people, learning about
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: manipulation can shield you from manipulators. What is and isn't
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a sneaky tactic becomes obvious when you know what to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: look for. Make sure you aren't being taken advantage of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: because anyone can learn to manipulate. For example, one notable
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: fan of Dale Carnegie and his book was the infamous
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Charles Manson. A Mirror for Accountability Learning to see through
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: others isn't the only benefit. Psychology can help you become
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a lot more honest with yourself too. We often go
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: between believing we are a good person and believing we're
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the worst person without any real idea of what it
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: is that makes us the way we are. We judge
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: ourselves subjectively, but psychology can help us see ourselves objectively.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: In the hypothetical situation, we drove recklessly to avoid our emotions,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: trying to de-stress in a way that is not helpful,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: engaging in self-sabotaging behavior, and even putting others in danger.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: We also hesitated to reach out to others for support,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: fearing we might burden them with our problems and be
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: seen as negative. If we look into our past, we
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: might see that our parents were quick to anger, so
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: we avoided them as much as possible and kept all
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: our feelings to ourselves. Now that learned behavior has bled
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: into our other relationships and friendships. By learning psychology, not
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: only can we identify the traits that negatively affect us,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: but we can use that knowledge to find healthy ways
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to address these negative traits. Moreover, if we can understand
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that our personal psychology is influenced by everything we go through,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: we can be more empathetic and see others in a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: more objective light. A health potion for our relationships. Our
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: relationships are inevitably affected by our behavior. As we become
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: better people, our relationships should grow stronger, right? Well, not exactly.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Relationships take more than just being a good person. Making
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: friends or starting to date someone is only half the battle.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: You need to maintain those relationships. Learning psychology can help
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you do that. There are so many resources that can
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: help you with relationships, whether they are books, research papers,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Instagram posts or YouTube videos. There are a lot of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: ways to digest the research of psychologists. Understanding the concepts
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of attraction, love languages and relationship satisfaction can already be
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: eye-opening and are all fairly easy to research. In the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: hypothetical situation, you may feel like you have no friends
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: or partner because your tendency to keep to yourself leaves
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: others feeling like you're reserved or distant. Similarly, in this scenario,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you might feel a sense of disconnect from the world
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: around you. Instead of feeling frustrated by this perceived lack
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of connection, you can objectively examine your relationships and internal struggles.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you can start by investing more time in nurturing
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: friendships and recognizing the ways you've been unintentionally pushing people
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: away and why. Know that tools to address these challenges
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: are all at your fingertips. A lot of psychology deals
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: with intuition. And if your intuition is telling you something
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is off, learning psychology can help you articulate what that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: problem is and help you and your partner find the solution. Remember,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: when it comes to relationships with others, collaboration is always necessary.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So you can't expect to know all the answers without
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: actually collaborating. Learn about yourself, learn about the people around
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you and use psychology to understand how it all fits together.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Learning psychology is not the same as therapy. It won't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: solve all of your issues, but it will help a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: lot in your day-to-day interactions. With psychology, you might speak
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to your boss in a way that gets you out
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of overtime without getting you fired. You might realize that
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: getting home safely is more important than speeding through traffic
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to avoid dealing with your frustrations. And you realize you
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: have the power to change the loneliness and disconnect your feeling.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Because reaching out, connecting with others and nurturing relationships are
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: within your control. Psychology is everywhere. It's in everything. It
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to just be the tool you use to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: find out if you have depression or anxiety. If we
