Being Resilient During Uncertain Times | Tony Robbins

Social Intelligence and Detecting Deception!

Human beings are 'social animals' less by choice and more by necessity. Yes! If we go back to the early days of our civilization, the evolution had brought us to a juncture where we had to concede to the fact that we were neither the fastest nor the strongest animal around and thus had to be smartest. And the smartest thing to do was to stay in groups and use that collective strength and intelligence to survive.

The strategy succeeded but also left us with a responsibility bordering on a burden. We had to learn to deal with the complexities of managing relationships. And with that came many acts to be performed 'day to day' - managing impressions, shaping perceptions, tracking conditions and making adjustments. This art of 'diplomacy' was required, yet there was a side-effect attached to it - the risk of getting turned into 'manipulation'.
