Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Being an Illuminator, seeing other people in all their fullness, doesn't just happen. It's a craft, a set of skills, a way of life. Other cultures have words for this way of being. The Koreans call it nunchi, the ability to be sensitive to other people's moods and thoughts.
The Germans (of course) have a word for it: herzensbildung, training one's heart to see the full humanity in another.
How to Know a Person
David Brooks
To summarize Sleeper Persuasion with a Trigger:
1. Predict something you think is likely to happen in the future even if others think it is not likely.
2. Associate a product with the prediction. In my case, the product is my book. In Trump’s case, the product is Trump as a candidate.
3. Wait for the trigger to happen, or for confirmation bias to make people think the trigger happened.
4. Remind people that you predicted whatever is happening.
You might wonder what happens when one of your sleeper predictions turns out to be wrong. The answer is that people won’t remember, or won’t care. And unless you put a deadline on your prediction, you can always say it will happen later.
