Mike Carruthers: 本节讨论了笔迹分析的科学性问题,指出其在法庭上的应用存在争议,并缺乏标准化的测试方法。两种类型的笔迹分析,法医笔迹分析和笔迹学,其有效性都受到质疑。 Brad Klontz: 致富的关键在于拥有正确的理财思维模式,而非仅仅依赖高收入或创业。大多数百万富翁是白手起家,他们通过勤俭节约、持续储蓄投资,并对财务状况保持警惕来积累财富。他们更注重拥有更多的时间自由,而非物质财富。拥有内部控制点,即对自身行为负责,也是致富的关键因素之一。 Amir Raz: 暗示的力量广泛存在于日常生活中,它影响着人们的感知、决策和行为,甚至生理状态。暗示的有效性取决于暗示者的可信度、暗示的时机和方式等多种因素。安慰剂效应就是暗示力量的典型体现,它证明了人们的预期和信念能够对生理产生显著影响。 Mike Carruthers: 对笔迹分析的科学性提出了质疑,认为其有效性缺乏证据支持,并指出法庭上对其应用的争议。 Brad Klontz: 强调了正确的理财思维模式对致富的重要性,指出大多数百万富翁是通过勤俭节约和持续储蓄投资实现财富积累的,并对财务状况保持警惕。 Amir Raz: 深入探讨了暗示的力量及其运作机制,解释了暗示如何影响人们的感知、决策、行为和生理状态,并以安慰剂效应为例说明了其影响力。

Shownotes Transcript

Is handwriting analysis a real thing? Can an “expert” really tell if handwriting is forged or real or is it just their opinion?

What does it take to become wealthy? There seems to be a lot of confusion about who becomes wealthy and why. Most millionaires today did not inherit their wealth, they are self-made millionaires. How they became wealthy has a lot to do with their mindset. Wealthy people think differently about money according to my guest Brad Klontz. He is a financial psychologist whose work has been featured in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and the Washington Post. He is also co-author of a book called Start Thinking Rich: 21 Harsh Truths to Take You from Broke to Financial Freedom (https://amzn.to/4fgIt0K). )Listen and discover the simple strategies of building wealth that you can start today.

The power of suggestion is something most of us don’t truly understand and yet we are constantly being bombarded by suggestions all day. The power of suggestion can make you buy things, do things and believe things you might not otherwise. Even the placebo effect is an example of the power of suggestion at work. Joining me to explain the workings of the power of suggestion is Amir Raz. He is a neuroscientist and well-known expert on the science of suggestion. He has held positions as Canada Research Chair, Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology and Neurosurgery, and Psychology at McGill University, and he is author of the book The Suggestible Brain: The Science and Magic of How We Make Up Our Minds (https://amzn.to/3BSHVzA).)
