About this episode
Today Eddie once again shares his impressive vocabulary. Today’s word of the day is isopraxism. In essence, it means mirroring. When you repeat back to someone their own words or behavior, you’re engaging in isopraxism.
Eddie mentions that this kind of mirroring can increase as your sense of connection to people. It’s not about awkwardly mimicking them. It’s about falling into their patterns of speech in order to make them feel comfortable.
Eddie credits this insight to the book Never Split the Difference, a hostage-negotiation book, Don’t let that lead you to dismiss the idea. He has found the practice to be helpful in navigating his kids’ bedtimes. You’re welcome to use the strategy there too. We’re a full-service self-help podcast.
