Why Some People Can Talk to Anyone (It's Not Charisma)

In this video, you'll discover why social competence was a survival skill for hundreds of thousands of years, what changed around 200 years ago that made avoidance possible, and how the iPhone gave your nervous system an escape hatch it never had before. You'll learn what the UC Davis research on phone use and social anxiety actually found, why every time you escape discomfort your nervous system learns it's dangerous instead of safe, and how the vagus nerve — through Polyvagal Theory — directly controls your ability to feel calm around other people. The person who can talk to anyone isn't genetically different from you. Their nervous system just learned a different lesson.
