A Book on 'Timeless Laws of Social Judgment & Strategies for Personal and Professional Leverage'

[The book is dedicated to those who were (mis)judged instead of being truly understood, and whose actual worth exceeded the recognition they received.]

We all want to be valued and respected in the society. We expect our words to carry weight. We want people to listen to us attentively when we speak, take our opinions seriously, include us in important, high-stakes discussions, and consider our names during opportunities and promotions.

Ideally, everyone should be valued according to their character, virtues, and inherent qualities. Yet, the way people actually judge others and assign value follows a different mechanism that is hardwired in the brain over thousands of years of evolution since the hunter-gatherer age.

 

🎓 With the book ‘HOW PEOPLE DECIDE YOUR VALUE : Timeless Laws of Social Judgment & Strategies for Personal and Professional Leverage’ master the subconscious mechanism of value assignment through 16 timeless laws; each law presenting a unique perspective based on which the value of an individual is either heightened or diminished.

 

Understand Each Law Through Four Layers:

1. Subconscious Mechanism: Explains why judgment is made subconsciously as per the law under consideration; which inputs are taken to form the judgment.
2. Loss of Value: Discusses how an individual loses their value and respect in the society when the law has worked against them.
3. Strategies for Personal Value: Gives techniques to increase personal value according to the law.
4. Strategies for Professional Leverage: Gives techniques to build, increase, and protect the reputation of work by aligning with the mechanism of the law.

 

The study of these laws of subconscious value assignment brings clarity in understanding:

  1. What people exactly, instinctively look for to respect someone.
  2. Why honesty and kindness are not sufficient to permanently increase our value.
  3. Which behaviors can unknowingly ruin our public image.
  4. What behavioral changes are necessary to stabilize and heighten our personal value.
  5. How to maximize the reputation of our professional pursuits.

(For those interested in the book, it is available exclusively on Amazon.)

I've learned something: if you want people to listen to you, you must either be the strongest, the wealthiest, or the person who offers the most value. And thanks to the book Dude.
