nothing more comfortable and 24 01:00:47,416 --> 01:00:49,083 relaxing than finding a 25 01:00:49,083 --> 01:00:51,333 nice public bench or sidewalk 26 01:00:51,458 --> 01:00:54,166 to curl up and totally vulnerable to our 27 01:00:54,166 --> 01:00:57,000 fellow mankind for a nice, peaceful nap. 28 01:00:57,750 --> 01:00:59,208 Nope, that's a hard pass for me. 29 01:00:59,458 --> 01:01:00,500

nostalgic quote, and then a 33 01:01:05,375 --> 01:01:06,458 second quote to tease our 34 01:01:06,458 --> 01:01:07,791 book review later in the 35 01:01:07,791 --> 01:01:08,083 episode. 36 01:01:08,500 --> 01:01:10,333 Hopefully one of these quotes will indeed 37 01:01:10,333 --> 01:01:11,583 kickstart your day in 38 01:01:11,583 --> 01:01:12,583 a positive direction. 39 01:01:13,375 --> 01:01:15,500 The first quote is from Kevin Bacon, who 40 01:01:15,500 --> 01:01:17,625 said, "Part of being a man is 41 01:01:17,625 --> 01:01:19,166 learning to take responsibility 42 01:01:19,333 --> 01:01:20,250 for your successes 43 01:01:20,250 --> 01:01:21,583 and for your failures." 44 01:01:22,750 --> 01:01:25,875 And the Baconator is not wrong, but I'd 45 01:01:25,875 --> 01:01:26,666 just suggest that 46 01:01:26,666 --> 01:01:28,375 that's part of maturity, man 47 01:01:28,375 --> 01:01:28,958 or woman. 48 01:01:29,791 --> 01:01:31,291 And today's teaser quote from the book 49 01:01:31,291 --> 01:01:33,416 review is, "Success in 50 01:01:33,416 --> 01:01:34,958 dealings with people depends 51 01:01:34,958 --> 01:01:37,083 on a sympathetic grasp of the other 52 01:01:37,083 --> 01:01:38,000 person's viewpoint." 53 01:01:39,125 --> 01:01:41,250 And as usual, we'll unpack that here in 54 01:01:41,250 --> 01:01:42,166 just a few minutes during 55 01:01:42,166

01:03:53,833 --> 01:03:55,083 You know, maybe I shouldn't knock it 119 01:03:55,083 --> 01:03:56,500 until I just try taking 120 01:03:56,500 --> 01:03:58,000 out all of my aggressions 121 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,458 and frustrations, just dancing my little 122 01:04:00,458 --> 01:04:02,166 heart out in an empty barn. 123 01:04:03,041 --> 01:04:03,625 Apologies, Kevin. 124

a few moments to reflect on 152 01:04:59,333 --> 01:05:00,166 lessons learned from 153 01:05:00,166 --> 01:05:00,875 the current book we're 154 01:05:00,875 --> 01:05:01,166 reading. 155 01:05:01,500

live by. 165 01:05:16,375 --> 01:05:18,125 Yesterday, we finished up chapter seven 166 01:05:18,125 --> 01:05:19,125 of part three, and 167 01:05:19,125 --> 01:05:20,291 that chapter was entitled 168 01:05:20,333 --> 01:05:21,833 How to Get Cooperation. 169 01:05:22,750 --> 01:05:24,458 And to begin this chapter, Carnegie 170 01:05:24,458 --> 01:05:25,666 called on some previous 171 01:05:25,666 --> 01:05:26,958 foundations he taught us 172 01:05:26,958 --> 01:05:29,375 earlier in the book, reminding us that, 173 01:05:29,375 --> 01:05:30,375 quote, "No one likes to 174 01:05:30,375 --> 01:05:31,666 feel that he or she is being 175 01:05:31,666 --> 01:05:33,791 sold on something or told to do a thing. 176 01:05:34,500 --> 01:05:36,333 We much prefer to feel that we are buying 177 01:05:36,333 --> 01:05:37,375 of our own accord and 178 01:05:37,375 --> 01:05:38,625 acting on our own ideas. 179 01:05:39,041 --> 01:05:40,625 We like to be consulted about our wishes, 180 01:05:40,875 --> 01:05:41,833 our wants, and our thoughts." 181 01:05:42,166 --> 01:05:42,458 End quote. 182 01:05:43,291 --> 01:05:45,458 Carnegie suggested that we plant seeds of 183 01:05:45,458 --> 01:05:46,291 an idea with the 184 01:05:46,291 --> 01:05:47,416 other person and then sit 185 01:05:47,458 --> 01:05:50,250 back and watch the idea grow, all on its 186 01:05:50,250 --> 01:05:51,083 own into what the other 187 01:05:51,083 --> 01:05:52,416 person often will feel 188 01:05:52,416 --> 01:05:53,791 was an idea that they had 189 01:05:53,791 --> 01:05:54,750 come up with on their own. 190 01:05:55,250 --> 01:05:56,916 This was the other person basically 191 01:05:56,916 --> 01:05:58,875 selling themselves on your idea. 192 01:05:59,541 --> 01:06:01,833 Carnegie's principle number seven was let 193 01:06:01,833 --> 01:06:03,000 the other person feel 194 01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:04,541 that the idea is his 195 01:06:04,541 --> 01:06:05,458 or her own. 196 01:06:06,166 --> 01:06:08,250 And today we begin and finish chapter 197 01:06:08,250 --> 01:06:09,666 eight of part three 198 01:06:09,666 --> 01:06:11,041 with this chapter entitled, 199 01:06:11,625 --> 01:06:13,958 A Formula That Will Work Wonders For You. 200 01:06:14,666 --> 01:06:16,791 And in these shorter chapters, Carnegie 201 01:06:16,791 --> 01:06:17,833 comes right out of the 202 01:06:17,833 --> 01:06:19,000 gate laying it out for us. 203 01:06:19,291 --> 01:06:21,166 Here he states, quote, "Remember that 204 01:06:21,166 --> 01:06:22,125 other people may be 205 01:06:22,125 --> 01:06:23,833 totally wrong, but they don't 206 01:06:23,833 --> 01:06:24,416 think so. 207 01:06:24,875 --> 01:06:25,625 Don't condemn them. 208 01:06:26,083 --> 01:06:27,500 Any fool can do that. 209 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,166 Try to understand them. 210 01:06:29,791 --> 01:06:32,958 Only wise, tolerant, exceptional people 211 01:06:32,958 --> 01:06:34,333 even try to do that." 212 01:06:34,625 --> 01:06:34,916 End quote. 213 01:06:35,666 --> 01:06:38,500 And you probably recall earlier on in the 214 01:06:38,500 --> 01:06:39,541 book review when we were 215 01:06:39,541 --> 01:06:40,833 talking about understanding 216 01:06:40,833 --> 01:06:42,166 the other person's perspectives. 217 01:06:42,875 --> 01:06:43,333 Well, good. 218 01:06:43,583 --> 01:06:45,625 In this chapter, Carnegie is doubling 219 01:06:45,625 --> 01:06:46,875 down on that philosophy, 220 01:06:47,375 --> 01:06:48,750 suggesting we really need 221 01:06:48,750 --> 01:06:50,625 to focus on what is driving the other 222 01:06:50,625 --> 01:06:52,583 person, identifying the 223 01:06:52,583 --> 01:06:54,083 reasons why they are taking 224 01:06:54,083 --> 01:06:55,375 the position or acting 225 01:06:55,375 --> 01:06:56,333 the way they are acting. 226 01:06:57,041 --> 01:06:59,041 If we can determine these reasons, then 227 01:06:59,041 --> 01:07:00,583 Carnegie says, quote, "You 228 01:07:00,583 --> 01:07:02,541 have the key to his actions, 229 01:07:02,541 --> 01:07:03,750 perhaps to his personality." 230 01:07:04,291 --> 01:07:04,625 End quote. 231 01:07:05,291 --> 01:07:07,041 To find someone else's perspective, 232 01:07:07,500 --> 01:07:08,875 Carnegie suggests honestly 233 01:07:08,875 --> 01:07:10,291 putting yourself in their 234 01:07:10,291 --> 01:07:11,750 place, asking yourself, 235 01:07:11,750 --> 01:07:13,125 quote, "How would I feel? 236 01:07:13,333 --> 01:07:14,291 How would I react?" 237 01:07:14,291 --> 01:07:14,666 End quote. 238 01:07:15,291 --> 01:07:16,708 Remember, we are all naturally 239 01:07:16,708 --> 01:07:18,708 self-focused people, mostly 240 01:07:18,708 --> 01:07:20,250 interested in our own world. 241 01:07:20,708 --> 01:07:23,333 And every person we meet is the same way, 242 01:07:23,708 --> 01:07:24,291 interested in their 243 01:07:24,291 --> 01:07:25,291 own world and their own 244 01:07:25,375 --> 01:07:27,291 issues, their own concerns, et cetera. 245 01:07:28,083 --> 01:07:30,000 Carnegie suggests that if we can be aware 246 01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:31,000 of this fact when we 247 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:32,458 enter into conversations 248 01:07:32,916 --> 01:07:35,041 and acts with other people, then we will, 249 01:07:35,041 --> 01:07:36,041 quote, "Have grasped 250 01:07:36,041 --> 01:07:37,666 the only solid foundation 251 01:07:37,833 --> 01:07:40,416 for interpersonal relationships, namely 252 01:07:40,416 --> 01:07:41,541 that success in 253 01:07:41,541 --> 01:07:43,250 dealings with people depends on 254 01:07:43,250 --> 01:07:45,041 a sympathetic grasp of the 255 01:07:45,041 --> 01:07:46,291 other person's viewpoint." 256 01:07:46,958 --> 01:07:47,375 End quote. 257 01:07:48,416 --> 01:07:50,625 Here, Carnegie describes how a husband 258 01:07:50,625 --> 01:07:51,458 utilized this 259 01:07:51,458 --> 01:07:52,875 perspective dealing with his wife. 260 01:07:53,708 --> 01:07:55,333 And in this brief story, the husband, 261 01:07:55,583 --> 01:07:56,250 from his own 262 01:07:56,250 --> 01:07:58,625 perspective, did not understand why 263 01:07:58,625 --> 01:08:00,833 his wife spent so much time caring for 264 01:08:00,833 --> 01:08:02,041 her garden and the lawn. 265 01:08:02,916 --> 01:08:05,041 And when he told her he wasn't sure why 266 01:08:05,041 --> 01:08:06,500 she wasted so much time 267 01:08:06,500 --> 01:08:07,833 on it because it didn't 268 01:08:07,833 --> 01:08:08,916 look any better than 269 01:08:08,916 --> 01:08:10,041 when they had moved in. 270 01:08:10,583 --> 01:08:11,916 I mean, first off, ouch. 271 01:08:12,583 --> 01:08:15,416 But well, after taking Carnegie's course, 272 01:08:16,083 --> 01:08:17,125 the husband changed 273 01:08:17,125 --> 01:08:18,791 his approach, realizing 274 01:08:18,875 --> 01:08:20,416 how foolish he had been. 275 01:08:20,916 --> 01:08:22,291 Kind of seems like the obvious one. 276 01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:24,875 But the husband said it hadn't occurred 277 01:08:24,875 --> 01:08:26,416 to him that she might 278 01:08:26,416 --> 01:08:27,791 possibly enjoy the work 279 01:08:28,125 --> 01:08:29,458 and might appreciate a 280 01:08:29,458 --> 01:08:30,458 compliment on her diligence. 281 01:08:31,291 --> 01:08:32,416 Well, he did just that. 282 01:08:32,416 --> 01:08:33,833 He complimented her on what a 283 01:08:33,833 --> 01:08:35,458 fantastic job she was doing. 284 01:08:35,875 --> 01:08:38,500 He noticed how hard the soil was, and he 285 01:08:38,500 --> 01:08:39,583 often helped her pull 286 01:08:39,583 --> 01:08:40,916 some weeds moving forward. 287 01:08:41,500 --> 01:08:44,000 The result of this, quote, "A happier 288 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:45,250 life for both," because 289 01:08:45,250 --> 01:08:46,458 he had learned to look 290 01:08:46,458 --> 01:08:48,916 at things from her point of view, even if 291 01:08:48,916 --> 01:08:51,666 the subject was only weeds, end quote. 292 01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:54,125 Carnegie cites a quote from the book 293 01:08:54,125 --> 01:08:55,208 "Getting Through to 294 01:08:55,208 --> 01:08:57,125 People" by Dr. Gerald Nirenberg, 295 01:08:57,416 --> 01:08:59,541 quoting, "Cooperativeness and 296 01:08:59,541 --> 01:09:01,166 conversation is achieved 297 01:09:01,166 --> 01:09:02,625 when you show that you consider 298 01:09:02,625 --> 01:09:05,458 the other person's ideas and feelings as 299 01:09:05,458 --> 01:09:07,041 important as your own," end quote. 300 01:09:07,583 --> 01:09:09,291 It's been a while in the book since 301 01:09:09,291 --> 01:09:10,833 Carnegie chose to repeat 302 01:09:10,833 --> 01:09:12,041 a quote because he thought 303 01:09:12,041 --> 01:09:13,208 it was so important. 304 01:09:13,791 --> 01:09:14,625 Well, here it is. 305 01:09:14,958 --> 01:09:16,625 Here's the next quote that he thinks is 306 01:09:16,625 --> 01:09:18,291 so important that he's repeating it. 307 01:09:18,791 --> 01:09:20,875 And he's citing Dean Donman of the 308 01:09:20,875 --> 01:09:22,000 Harvard Business School, 309 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,500 who said, quote, "I would 310 01:09:23,500 --> 01:09:25,833 rather walk the sidewalk in front of a 311 01:09:25,833 --> 01:09:27,166 person's office for two 312 01:09:27,166 --> 01:09:28,458 hours before an interview, 313 01:09:28,916 --> 01:09:30,875 than step into the office without a 314 01:09:30,875 --> 01:09:32,541 perfectly clear idea of 315 01:09:32,541 --> 01:09:34,166 what I was going to say and 316 01:09:34,166 --> 01:09:36,916 what that person, from my knowledge of 317 01:09:36,916 --> 01:09:38,041 his or her interest and 318 01:09:38,041 --> 01:09:39,916 motives, was likely to 319 01:09:39,916 --> 01:09:40,416 answer." 320 01:09:41,250 --> 01:09:43,125 Carnegie is saying that this philosophy 321 01:09:43,125 --> 01:09:44,333 of contemplating the 322 01:09:44,333 --> 01:09:45,375 other person's perspective 323 01:09:45,625 --> 01:09:47,291 takes time, but it's 324 01:09:47,291 --> 01:09:48,750 time very well spent. 325 01:09:49,791 --> 01:09:52,250 Carnegie again repeats himself verbatim 326 01:09:52,250 --> 01:09:53,333 from all the way back 327 01:09:53,333 --> 01:09:54,291 in chapter three of part 328 01:09:54,291 --> 01:09:56,791 one, saying that if the reader gets only 329 01:09:56,791 --> 01:09:58,125 one thing out of reading 330 01:09:58,125 --> 01:09:59,583 this book, he says it's 331 01:09:59,583 --> 01:10:02,833 this, quote, "An increased tendency to 332 01:10:02,833 --> 01:10:04,666 think always in terms of 333 01:10:04,666 --> 01:10:05,958 other people's point of 334 01:10:05,958 --> 01:10:08,583 view and see things from their angle as 335 01:10:08,583 --> 01:10:10,125 well as your own," end quote. 336 01:10:10,625 --> 01:10:12,500 And he continues to say that this one 337 01:10:12,500 --> 01:10:13,708 thing, quote, "may 338 01:10:13,708 --> 01:10:15,666 easily prove to be one of the 339 01:10:15,666 --> 01:10:17,458 most important stepping stones in your 340 01:10:17,458 --> 01:10:18,583 career or your life." 341 01:10:19,583 --> 01:10:21,791 Well, here it is in a chapter entitled, 342 01:10:22,250 --> 01:10:23,500 "A Formula That Will 343 01:10:23,500 --> 01:10:24,708 Work Wonders For You." 344 01:10:25,708 --> 01:10:27,375 Carnegie's principle number eight is, 345 01:10:27,875 --> 01:10:29,083 "Try honestly to see 346 01:10:29,083 --> 01:10:30,375 things from other people's 347 01:10:30,375 --> 01:10:31,000 point of view." 348 01:10:32,208 --> 01:10:33,583 And I'm glad this point came up again 349 01:10:33,583 --> 01:10:34,875 because it just serves as a 350 01:10:34,875 --> 01:10:36,291 good reminder to constantly 351 01:10:36,333 --> 01:10:38,166 consider the other person's perspectives. 352 01:10:39,583 --> 01:10:41,791 Well, from your perspective, I'm guessing 353 01:10:41,791 --> 01:10:43,000 you're pumped up and 354 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:43,791 you're ready to get on 355 01:10:43,791 --> 01:10:45,250 with your
