In this episode, we delve into the fascinating realm of nonverbal communication with the esteemed guest, Dr. David Matsumoto. We explore the significance of understanding validated indicators of mental states, cautioning against relying on unvalidated behaviors. Our discussion also highlights the positive influence of disciplines like Judo and Jujitsu in fostering discipline and perseverance in both children and adults.

Additionally, we address effective strategies for managing emotions and improving disciplined listening, including the importance of enhancing breathing capacity through meditation, exercise, or other methods.
