Post 118: Cheat Code

January 19, 20231 min read

There is a story throughout many self-help books about a study of the sentencing behavior of judges. If you go before a judge right after they have eaten, they feel better, and they are more likely to give lighter punishments. If you go right before they have eaten, they feel worse and you get harsher punishments. The thinking goes the better someone feels when they are dealing with you, the better they treat you.

My question is why not use this to make my life easier? If I can treat the people I interact with in as kind and respectful a way as possible, then won’t the people I deal with treat me better? If I work to be present with the people I meet throughout my day, they are more likely to like me. The more that someone likes me, the better they treat me.

Takeaway: the happier I make the people around me, the happier I will be.
