Physical movement through doorways can lead to a mental reset. Use this knowledge strategically, such as when transitioning between tasks.
42. Narrative Transportation:
Craft a compelling story when conveying information. People are more likely to be engaged and remember information presented in a narrative format.
43. The Contrast Principle in Shopping:
When shopping, start with the most expensive option. Subsequent options will seem more reasonable in comparison, influencing purchasing decisions.

A subtle touch on the arm during a negotiation can create a sense of connection and increase the likelihood of reaching an agreement.

Pair a specific sensory stimulus (like a scent or sound) with a focused work session. Over time, the stimulus alone can trigger a more productive mindset.
