This week I sit down with Blake Eastman from The Nonverbal Group, who's analyzed over 550,000 poker player blinks and is probably the world's top expert on human behavior. Most of what people think about reading tells is complete BS - Blake breaks down what actually works, why your "gut reads" are probably wrong, and how trying to hide tells often makes you more readable.We go deep into how different cultures communicate, why First World social dynamics are kind of messed up, and even a tell he caught on me in mixed games (fixing that one). His insights on behavior aren't just about poker - he's worked with major CEOs, can predict when relationships will fail, and understands how people tick in a way that's actually mind-blowing.One of my favorite parts was breaking down why people think they're good at reading others but are actually terrible at it. Also got into some fascinating stuff about how writing daily and understanding social patterns can transform your life.
