How to Win People Over<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carnegie provides several pieces of advice for how to get people to like you<\/a>. First, he says, demonstrate understanding toward their emotions.<\/strong> For example, angry people are often angry because they feel unheard. Once you sympathize with them, they\u2019ll soften their anger substantially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: One way we naturally try to relate to others\u2019 emotions is through emotional mirroring<\/em><\/a>, when we automatically reflect other people\u2019s emotional expressions (such as their facial expressions, tone, and body language<\/a>) back to them. This can be helpful in demonstrating understanding toward their feelings, but it can also backfire, particularly when the other person is experiencing negative emotions. For example, if you\u2019re speaking to someone who\u2019s angry, mirroring that anger back to them can further escalate their feelings<\/a> and leave you feeling stressed out. Instead, acknowledge their feelings and let them know you want to talk about them, but stay calm and collected on your part.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Present Yourself Amiably<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Carnegie also advises that you adopt a positive demeanor when approaching people.<\/strong> If you want others to enjoy meeting you, you must make it clear that you enjoy meeting them<\/em>. So smile and show that you\u2019re happy to see them. This will convey that you mean well and instantly endear you to others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Carnegie asserts that approaching people with a smile will convey a positive demeanor and happy feelings, but this may not be true in all cultures<\/a>. In countries like Russia and Poland, people may interpret smiling as a sign that someone is less intelligent. Additionally, in countries that have high levels of corruption in society, people often interpret smiling as a sign of deception or dishonesty. In these contexts, a neutral expression<\/a> might be a more appropriate way to signal good will.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Establish a Connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Carnegie says it\u2019s important to behave in ways that will form and reinforce a personal connection<\/a> with the other person.<\/strong> Be sure to use people\u2019s names frequently when you\u2019re interacting with them. No other word is more significant to a person than their name\u2014remember it, pronounce it correctly, use it often, and respect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Research suggests that there are neurological reasons that using someone\u2019s name can be beneficial in conversation: Hearing your name activates brain regions associated with attention, memory, and identity<\/a>. This naturally makes you more attentive and engaged. However, mispronouncing someone\u2019s name can invalidate their identity<\/a> and make them feel disrespected and alienated. If you have trouble remembering people\u2019s names, make an effort to practice<\/a> by repeating someone\u2019s name back to them after you hear it, writing it down, and making sure you\u2019re using the name the person prefers to go by.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Carnegie says to listen well. Try to get others to open up<\/a>, and give them your undivided attention<\/strong>\u2014this will make them feel important. Ask questions that they\u2019ll appreciate and want to answer. They\u2019ll leave your conversation feeling like you\u2019re a wonderful person to have a conversation with, even if you\u2019ve barely said anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Many communication experts recommend active listening<\/em><\/a>, an approach that uses some of the same techniques Carnegie does: paying close attention, showing interest, and asking questions. Active listening also involves paying attention<\/a> to nonverbal cues<\/a> and paraphrasing or summarizing what the person you\u2019re listening to says. However, critics of this technique suggest that focusing too much on how <\/em>to listen can cause you to miss out on what the other person is actually saying<\/a>. It might seem performative instead of genuine and could potentially irritate the other person<\/a>. Instead of getting hung up on how to execute the listening process, try to convey a heartfelt interest and curiosity in what the other person has to say.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
