If you’ve watched 48 Hours for years, you may remember the case of involving Noura Jackson. She was convicted of murdering her mom Jennifer. Now, it appears, she has gotten the Tennessee Supreme Court to over-turn the verdict and grant her a new trial.
I did not believe Noura Jackson when I first wrote about her in April of 2010. You can read my original thoughts here.
If you want to practice your skills at understanding human behavior, there is no better place to start than watching people negotiate.
If you are good at understanding others, in negotiations you will be able to call people out as honest when they tell you this is their final offer. Or you will be able to know when someone is bluffing and there is still room for negotiation. And there is no better TV show for this than Pawn Stars on the History Channel (U.S.)
I love watching negotiations and calling out the bluffs or seeing when someone else misses the cues and tries to continue when its truly over. It’s heaps of fun and the best part? You get immediate feedback on if you saw it correctly or not. If not, maybe watch it again and see if you can identify what you’ve missed.
In the video above, they don’t do much negotiating, but you can clearly identify anger in the guy who wants to sell his statue. Notice how he glares over his glasses? It’s a look that is very telling that he is not pleased.
How often are you right? It will give you a measure of how good you are at reading people!
I love doing this for fun.
Children often display this expression that is molded with their hands. What emotion or feeling do you think causes it?
I saw this on CBS 60 Minutes Sunday and thought it was absolutely fascinating. I love how Brad Katsuyama became curious and did some investigating and got to the truth! I love people who break the mold, question things and explore like this.
Does what Brad uncovered surprise you?
Piaget Crenshaw spoke out to CNN about what she saw happen to Michael Brown in Ferguson and I wanted to state that I believe her. I believe she is telling us the truth.
