We all are dealing with information overload.
Our brains deal with this overload
by filtering information.
One filter is by the source of information
and whether or not
we trust it.
If I don’t trust someone,
I discard the information
they’re sharing outright.
I don’t investigate it.
I completely erase it from my brain.
On the flipside,
if I trust the source completely
and I’m in a rush,
I’ll act upon that information.
Turns out…
other people do that same thing.
A study performed by Martin Lindstrom
for his book
Brandwashed
shows that
“Deep trust is communicated
subconsciously.
It’s rarely expressed explicitly,
nor is imparted loudly
or didactically.
To trust deeply
not only can change our minds,
but it has the power
to alter our most ingrained behaviors.”
If you’re a trusted source,
people will act upon your information.
Think before you speak.
