- James Bond: 5 Charisma Tips From The “Perfect Man"
Discover The 4 Emotions You Need To Make a Killer First Impression:

I was rematching James Bond: Casino Royale and this scene really struck me....
I realized that in many ways Vesper is speaking for the audience because James Bond represents our cultures masculine ideal. Whatever he is, is what so many young men are kinda wishing they could become. So in this video I want to investigate who exactly that aspirational man is. Because there is definitely something to be learned, some positive traits we can add to our lives. But there’s also some ideas of “masculinity” that we’d probably be better off discarding. So let's break down Bond in Casino Royale.
0:41 Eva Green as Vesper loves Bond as he is insanely capable
2:43 James Bond or 007 is mostly unreactive and emits confidence
4:40 Daniel Craig as James Bond is loved by women and flirting
6:56 He's willing to die for his ideals as in Casino Royale or in Skyfall

He stays who he is no matter what the other person is doing. He doesn't feel the need to artificially draw attention to himself.
Drawing attention to oneself can be lethal in Bond's line of work
The big problem is need of attention in our generation
@@abdisamadadam288 infinitely magnified via the cheery picked images we show off through the social media lense
@@bengough6772 the cheery picked images we post in social media effect and hurts our personality and confidence
@@abdisamadadam288 - I think it can be very accurately said that "needing" attention is a form of greed, and like all forms of greed, no matter how much you have it'll never be enough.
I think the real secret is trying to be the very best man or woman that you can be, with how you take care of yourself physically, both your appearance and your health, and how you strive to conduct yourself, which I hope is in a positive and decent way, in how you treat others, and how you treat yourself.
3:57 "Bond doesn't waste energy on needless anger, frustration, threats, or worry. If he can change something to his benefit, he'll act, but otherwise he just moves on. This makes sure that he doesn't get stuck in his head reliving past mistakes or worrying about the future."
This is an excellent point and is actually a trait of Stoic philosophy, which essentially says, "If something is in your control, then control it. But things that are outside of your control: don't worry about them, since you have no control over those things anyway." It's a remarkably helpful and practical philosophy. I'd never realized until watching this video that Bond does indeed embody the virtues of Stoicism.
There's a scene in the movie Seven Years in Tibet, where the Dalai Lama tells Heinrich (Brad Pitt):
"We have a saying in Tibet: If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good."
That philosophy is very much embodied in James Bond's: if you can take action to solve a problem that's in your control, then you should take that action. But if the thing is out of your control, then don't waste energy worrying about it getting angry about it.
So Buddhism, Stoicism, and James Bond: all have much in common.
I live by that, started living by it in my late teens. It's not even about making progress or achieving goals. For me it started out being about ignoring the hardships of my life and the endless conflicts with my siblings and bullies. It's a very good attitude and allows me to be a good managerial type as well because it's so easy to move on when meeting obstacles in projects/tasks. Groups of people easily get stuck in cycles of uttering frustration or needles fruitless discussions.
Throw Christianity in there too
"That's because you know what I can do with my little finger."
DAMN!!!

Danish Satkut Aru u thinking what i am thinking
Omg...
Ohhhhhhhhhh
what dat finga do
Key notes:
1.) He is capable
2.) He is unreactive
3.) Women love him, he isn’t scared of rejection
4.) He is willing to die for what he believes in
5.) He sticks to the mission no matter what
#1. He's attractive
1. Being capable for the task at hand (very good).
Additionally, make it look effortless.
2. Being unreactive (Don Draper).
3. Two Life Philosophies -
I. Stoicism.
II. The belief that he’ll be okay, no matter what happens to him.
4... Analyze video further (watch the video after 3:30 minutes).
He is agent and he has govt at his back
Ok boomer
That's a point of view 😉
...
He learns everything he can. When you truly know a lot of things, you will naturally be unreactive because you see through things objectively.
Never stop learning.
This is true. Experience develops objective approaches. And move towards the finer things in all aspects of life…..

As a woman, I can honestly say: a man who is confident and does not show he is fazed by rejection is immediately interesting, regardless of how he looks or what he make$. Because it takes strength of character to be able to get to that point.

Ahahahahahahahahahah
and you would spend the rest of your life trying to bend him to your ego. thats not love. its utter bs
@@pr00009 You are confused. Try to understand: the kind of man I am talking about doesn't bend. He doesn't have to. He is valuable and in demand because he's already worked on himself. He is an emotinally developed adult. Additionally, I don't need to bend anyone. I don't have to change anyone, that would be exhausting, unproductive, and too much work for me. I like to relax and enjoy life. If a man did not pass my standard requirements from the beginning, he is free to go, I wish him the best. I like my man the way he is, self actualized, mature, and high value. It's why I am attracted to him and love to be with him. I don't want projects. Does that make sense?
@@keennickolas8575 No. You need to have more experience to understand. Don't be angry. Just learn.
Omg "letting go" of stuff like anger at someone cutting me off driving is something I adopted before seeing this video and it helped me so much! I will not give someone the power to allow them to ruin my day. It's helped me have a lot more good days and even though I sometimes forget it, I come back to it regularly which helps me be more forgiving, more at peace, and somehow, more assertive.
Confidence and getting over things quickly with a sense of humor served me well when I was single and still does married.
I think you meant "served me well"

This breakdown is one of your best. I really appreciate your take on healthy masculinity, and your encouragement to reflect and adapt at the end.
Regretting past mistakes and worrying about the future instead of living in the present. So often done but rarely discussed. This vid hit it on the head with that one!
He has and shows confidence without being obnoxiously arrogance
Confidence : knowing you are right.
Arrogance: refusing to admit you are wrong.
@gavin Reid, confidence isn't knowing that you're right. Confidence is separating your value and identity from your correctness. A confident person can remain confident even when he is shown to be wrong because he knows that being wrong doesn't diminish his identity or his value.

Nobody's is perfect... You perfect yours skills with Time...(experience)
That's the opposite of how the actual characters view him though lol
Reminds me of Marcus Aurelius: 'Begin each day by telling yourself: 'Today I shall be meeting with with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness....Neither can I be angry with my brother or fall afoul of him...Bond is a stoic.
Agreed
great point, I was thinking about this the whole time!
Exactly 💯
A superior demonstration of masculinity. Thank you Sir for this video. Bond exudes confidence when faced with challenges, and exhibits courage in the face of danger. These two attributes will take any man anywhere he wants to go....or is forced to go.
I was diagnosed as a "high functioning" sociopath. And I have been told I kinda act like James bond.
Since I struggle with feeling emotions. I tend to keep them bland, and too the point. I don't let outside forces change how I feel. I chose how I want to feel.
Iv been told I'm very charming by multiple women in my life. That's why they hooked up with me. (And yes. Unfortunately they ended quickly once they kinda figured out I didn't really care all that much for them)
For some reason. Society likes emotionless men. But let me tell you this. Not being able to feel grief, anxiety, sadness, depression, empathy, along with a few others can and will get to you. You feel like you are missing a part of you.
So instead of being emotionless, be emotional with control. Chose how to feel. Pick the level of reaction you want. Be...in...control.
Interesting. If you could be a sociopath or not, what would you choose? Also, what do you mean you were diagnosed as a sociopath? That is not possible; it’s not a medical term
@@yosuancolon Diagnosed with ASPD. And IDK. Iv always been this way so it's hard to say if I would like being normal or not
@@ivanstayner8818 It’s really interesting to me that you’re a sociopath yet would be open to being normal. Thought anyone with ASPD would never want to be normal. Probably naive from me
Dude get over yourself you wanna be sociopath can’t tell you how many wannabes like you I’ve met…you can’t handle a real one so just be quiet lmfao you’re a wannabe dude you’re nothing at all
yea... except if you were like Bond you wouldn't seek validation on you tube comments.

Excellent video! Definitely one of the most inciteful and useful on this channel. I can definitely vouch for Lesson #4: pushing on in the face of adversity. It is one of the most attractive traits can a person can have. Also, I love the message here, that we should strive to emulate the strengths of our idols (realistically), and learn from their more negative traits.
As a side note, Craig's James Bond does eventually learn to re-open his heart to love, which is one of the reasons why his character arc works so well in the latest movie. He gives a final goodbye to the woman who broke his heart and gives himself fully to his relationship with Madeline.
The 3rd point always reminds me of the saying "Confidence isn't being sure they say yes, but being able to deal with the no".
Great video!
Confidence is not giving a %$#@.
It's a shame this generation doesn't know the importance of James bond
Abhishek Alfred please tell me his importance
The reason is because most people don't understand the physiology
Purp purp
Thats because most people from this generation havent really seen any of james bond. The older generation buried those memories and is barely even now releasing some of their past lives, due to kids moving away from home for college, work, or a new family of our own.
exactly
Another good message.
It's good to remember that the character of James Bond had been through WW2, and would not have been a young man when Ian Fleming wrote Casino Royal in 1952. Bond was a compilation of various commandos Fleming knew during the war, and one human may never be able to be as skilled at everything the character is.
I think Bond in the books began in his mid-thirties and doesn't age much.
Very well done. Interesting that we have much to learn from our heros from days hone by. Much is about being comfortable in your own skin, not letting others or outside forces control your attitude or emotions. Then the old golden rule...treat others as you wish to be. This is why we turn to our faith. The moral compass. The singleness of focus. The love and empathy for others. This was an excellent piece. Especially for men but not just. Stimulates thought. Good job.
I love Daniel Craig's Bond. He is the only "rough" Bond of them all. The rest are very clean cut, always in shape, and always suave. And there's nothing wrong with that, but Craig's Bond is sort of the everyman's Bond.
We all see a little bit of ourselves in him. We deal with personal issues like bad relationships, health (I think Bond fails his physical test in Skyfall), and loneliness. But he stands resilient as we all try to do.
Parker Dodson yes, exactly. Glad craig fits perfectly in this bond.
No that just takes away what makes James Bond James Bond. Craig’s not as charismatic in my opinion
While I do enjoy Craigs Bond, it is the clean cut, suave, well educated and elegant man that started my fascination with him. Just as I prefer Remington Steele to Rick Simon. But at the same time in the real life, I prefer Jeans, Leatherman and sneakers over a suit.
ThorstenWieking thankyou
You are objectively wrong though, Timothy Dalton did the "rough" bond 20 years earlier, and 10 times better than Daniel Craig. But Daniel Craig timed it better, as the audience wasnt really ready for a darker, more serious Bond in 1987
I'm going through a divorce where my wife cheated on me with multiple people. Thank you for making this video. The ending especially was motivating for me to keep moving forward and to not let this define me.

Charlie, your down to earth, approach, free of false bravado is what makes 1 of your videos superior to a thousand others attempting to accomplish the same thing.
Don't let it go to your head.
Absolutely love this video. I think a lot of people could benefit from deconstructing the meaning of positive masculinity. I would watch more like this.
In Ian Fleming’s books, Bond was a good golfer, loved scuba diving, was taught to ski as a boy by his stepfather, and trained in small arms and personal combat for hours between cases of which he had maybe, at the most, one every two years. He also read a lot. Reports on all sorts of things. Oh! He was also an excellent card player. In casino Royal, M said that Bond had been sent to work for months with a famous card “mechanic” Bond said it was agony. Point is, the books are basically better. And that’s saying something because I love the films!
They are especially better than more than half the films.
I'm a big fan of Fleming's novels. One of the best writers of the 20th century, IMHO. But I will say, I'm pretty sure in the novels it mentions Bond getting a field assignment about twice a year, not every two years. Of course, they're not all movie (or even book) worthy assignments, I think a lot would be taking out minor enemy agents or some form of field recon.
But yes, between assignments, even James Bond has to work at a desk, doing paperwork and what I guess today would be called "data science", sifting through endless reports and bits of intelligence and trying to make sense of them.
Never mistake a quiet man for a thoughtless man if you want to live.

Watched this video all the way to the end. That's probably the finest compliment a CZcamsr could ever hope for 😃
Great job. Great points. Well done and thank you :-)
The bit about not getting stuck in our own heads, worrying about the past or future, is a major tenet of stoicism. Much of our worry is built up in our imagination. So much energy is spent thinking about what others think. It took me years to get that point where "I don't care," but it feels good being in control when others are losing their minds...
How did you get to “that point”
Charisma on command! MAKE A BATMAN PERSONALITY BREAKDOWN!!
Fight Smart this would be perfect
As much as I love Batman movies, series and comics, I gotta say that in 90% of the material he appears in, he is by far the least interesting character, personality-wise. He has a fantastic backstory and is a force that nature itself can barely contain. But full of personality? Not really.
Would rather see a breakdown of why we all kinda love The Joker, despite the fact that he is a vile, destructive maniac!
RandomGuitarGuy I agree on what you said, but instead of a personality breakdown, he could do a "Batman characteristics" video. Batman does not have the most liked personality overall since he is NEVER welcoming or has open body language. But he can do a " Why Batman is popular" or "Why we like Batman."
From there he could give his characteristics from cartoons or movies such as "Patience, will, motivation, focus, showing no fear, e.t.c
Agree, the warmth part of his charisma may not be his main strenght, yet he has a high degree of authority and respect , similar to Tywin. The video could even focus on his detective/ deduction and preparation skills. Potentially,, a duality/ dichotomy video such as the Iron man/ Captain America one could be a good fit for him and Joker.
David Muñoz Well said.
"What he is, is what so many young men are kind of wishing they could become." That has been true since Dr. No was released in 1962.
I love these videos. You get advice and scenes from James Bond.

I can definitely relate to number 2. That’s something that I need to work on. Being able to quickly realize what you can and can’t control and being in complete control of your emotions, shows a lot maturity. Being in complete control of your mind and emotions is HUGE and is a big part of masculinity. Nobody has much respect for someone who loses control over small things that you cannot change. If you can’t control the bad thing that happened to you, have your brief moment of being pissed off for a second, throw that aside and handle it.
Bond's usually depicted as someone either in his late 30's, or 40's and 50's
He's an ex commander of British navy, someone who's read at Oxford at some time. Thus he had a lot of time in creating a lot of ambigious abilities. And also he's a bit of an omage to WW2 era blue blooded aristocratic army officials who also have a very rough, masculine physical men whilst being a very intellectual, educated and sophisticated fellow.
And also, his success at showing prowess usually comes through his sheer will to never relent or yield. Craig's Bond is the most obvious of that, James Bond has that British stubbornness to not let go. And if his ''skills'' won't avail him, he usually finds some smart way to get results.
That's exactly what I had in mind two minutes into the video. And the only reason I viewed the comments, to find your comment.
I wouldn't have expressed it better than you did. Well done.
Hands down, this short video tought me more than hundred self help videos did. Thanks a lot. Really, this changed something
Daniel Craig is my favorite James Bond.
ElEternoPoetaLuis i agree
In my opinion though: Daniel Craig has portrayed one of the least attractive James Bonds.
Partly he just doesn't have a lot of 'natural' charisma, like for example Pierce Brosnan did have. His version also jokes a lot less and he makes the jokes not work as well. Next, he doesn't have the captivating smile, the fine facial contours or nice hair. Pierce Brosnan was a slick, cool, charismatic James Bond. Daniel Craig is just a tough guy in a suit.
Sean Connery says hi
Undoubtedly
@@JPCPSeto I like them both. Thier manly and cool in thier own way. Daniel broke the mold that a Bond doesn't have to be this fancy face doll. But a confident unreactive and very capable being.

I appreciate this very much. It connected with me. Thank you.
This was my favourite video from the channel, thank you
To be fair, he was terrible at parkour. He was just running and jumping and falling. The entire point of that scene was to demonstrate what a wrecking ball of an athlete he is, compared to the finesse and agility of his opponent.
The beauty of James Bond is that he IS the embodiment of masculinity. All the positives and negatives thereof. He's a womanizer, but it always bites him in the butt when he's left betrayed and unsatisfied and alone. He's strong but too insensitive to others. He's wise but untrusting. It's why men are drawn to the series. It's everything they want to be as men, while also being a caution against the challenges that often come with masculinity.
This is why a female bond will never make sense or draw a crowd.
They're not making a female bond, though. Just a female 007 when Bond retires. She recruits him for a mission and then after that, Craig goes off into the sunset. Next bond will still be a dude. Bond is a dude. 007 can be any gender or race. They're not necessarily the same thing.
Loooool
@@TheGeorgeD13 Ian Fleming would disagree.
@@kungfuman82 Well, he's too dead to say anything about it, so who cares what he thinks?

Be OWEN and act sheepish.
. . . Apologise first , then personally return all the goods from whence they came in the store . And then remember your wallet from that moment on - especially when shopping ...

Being numb and walled up and desensitized to the point whereby you no longer enjoy life just for the sense of strength and control is actually a reflection of not being able to cope when the worst happens.
I needed that, thanks for the content.
Love the point about inaction. Incredible breakdown bro!
Love the analysis here of masculinity and I couldn't agree more. In the real world, developing mastery isn't sexy, it's slow and difficult but personally rewarding, and being a 'man' means accepting you are vulnerable and that you can fail, be wrong, be hurt badly etc. And yet connecting with people and pursuing what you love sincerely anyway.
he's no parkour expert, he just throws himself.
Legions and legends and eventually lands on a haystack
The Leap Of Faith
And how fulfilling it would have been to be a real parkour expert.
That makes him even more capable in my opinion. He doesn't know how to parkour and yet following a parkour expert like an absolute badass.

You just saved the James Bond franchise with this video. They would put this video in front of the next movie if they could, but probably reconstruct it with interviews.
Great video! Keep going and don’t stop at anything.
Great video. I grew up infatuated and often trying to imitate bond, many scars to prove it, some can’t be seen. That said, as in all legends and stories there are invaluable lessons , some that hurt and some that inspire. Bond is a great base to look deep into but as you summarize..not the realistic Ideal.

Thank you for the video. Really solid advice. I’ve been trying a lot of emotional control by emulating Spock from the ‘60s but fail sometimes because I take things personally when I probably shouldn’t. This video helped me understand why I should double down on staying cool even when things aren’t exactly like I wanted.
Your end point is absolutely exactly right my friend
Really liked this video, very good points about going above your own ego👌🏻👌🏻
Love this! So nice to see something that analyses the subtleties of masculinity without just branding the whole idea as toxic.
Watched this again for the second time. I have to tell you, there is something to this. Big and powerful. Thank you so much.
~ Thanks for the kind words!
Very well thought out. Thank you.
" Real strength is not walling yourself up from getting hurt
It is shown by opening yourself up to getting hurt because caring is worth it
All the while knowing if the worst happens you have what it takes to pick yourself back up and move forward"
I hope you're making the bank with this youtube channel, you're really good at what you do.
This is the only video I need to motivate myself. It has all the points like -
- knowing how to do things,
-not wasting your energy by reacting to useless insult about oneself,
-be true to the work that you love doing,
-and handle betrayals/break ups.
this video is why I subscribed. Well done
I really enjoyed this video; it really explained his appeal and just what it is that draws us in.
He's skilled at parkour?! I think you should rewatch the scene.
true! That was more about taking bad falls and still getting up XD
... which was part of his military parachute training.
I agree - that scene was about how someone UNSKILLED in parkour was determined to catch someone who had all the silky skills ... favourite moment: the parkour guy does a great move through an airvent .. Bond just crashes through a plaster wall, taking a shortcut.
[that whole chase is surely the best chase in all of Bond]
He's skilled at parkour?! I think you should rewatch the scene.
Relieved to read that I wasn't alone in doing a double take there. Swell video otherwise
He has a few pretty stellar rolls when he hits the ground. He's not a master at parkour, but he's good enough to make it work.
To be fair, I think that makes him even more capable, he's not really attempted or practised it before, but he's able to keep up with someone who clearly has.
That's being a capable person. If you learn a wide enough web of skills you can pull from each of them to adapt as you need. If there's one thing that people are good at, it's adapting existing knowledge to new purposes. That's how society even exists in the form it does today. Without that innate ability, we'd be fucked.
Another great one! You make thought-provoking content in a concise and articulate manner. Thank you!
~ Appreciate it Avi!
One of your best videos! I just dissed some channel clickbaiting with Peaky Blinders saying 70% unrelatable nonsense, but you managed to take Bond, and give solid advice still!
This is your best video! Would love to see more Bond videos!
Amazing breakdow! Beautiful practical gems of information that each one of us can take into our own lives to create a life that we love!
"can you imagine James Bond (practicing)" well yes I can... but he does it off camera... we mainly see him "on the job". I expect every bit of his free time is spent training, or with his nose in a book learning something new.
Preach this from the mountain.
This is the fifth video to come out this past few days alone which has shown the exact same thing to do to face rejection. In fact, in the last video I watched, the presenter recommended to the viewers to go out and actively seek to get rejected, just to practice your reaction - which, by the way, should be precisely what is described here. Spot on 100% right, all the way through.
There have been two themes these past two weeks - train yourself to master being rejected gracefully, and Teslas coming a cropper when they meet swimming pools.
Learn the above skill. Avoid ever going behind the wheel of a Tesla.
this is just awesome work....well done....
Nice video, guys. It was fun doing something a bit different, looking at the male ideal. In fact, the 2nd part on being nonreactive/unphased really intrigued me and I would love to see a follow-up talking head style video on it, really diving in to it to the topic to see how to best incorporate this charismatic quality into our everyday lives. Of course, there are times when it’s a really good thing to feel and show emotion, whether it’s passion, disappointment, or sadness, as showing raw emotion is a sign of courage, vulnerability and strength. And then in this video, we are seeing a man who is basically emotionless. So, I’m curious to see how we can balance the best of both worlds in our everyday lives. When to let a situation impact us emotionally and when to shoot for unphased nonreactivity, not to mention the tips to do so :-) . Thanks for all you do.
Jeff Dimon you mean "unfazed"?
It's control of yourself and understanding what you can or can't control.
If you can fix something, you do it. If you can't, you let it go. I think showing emotion and feeling emotion are different things. I would argue that emotion can be more powerful when you choose who you show it too. If you're always hiding your emotions and controlling yourself, then when you show someone how you really feel that's a real connection.
Jeff Dimon Personally, I liked the description given, but disliked the images and example presented. I likened the description of unreactive to a healthy and powerful emotional metabolism. Basically, your emotions don't get clogged up, you can express yourself openly, as you desire, and then let everything go, 😎
1. No vomiting
2. No farting
3. No belching
4. Don't start a conversation with, "Did you see Big Bang Theory, last night? It was fuckin' top, mate!"
5. Don't ever go to the toilet
It's that simple.
But it was fuckin top mate
@@rattingcheese687 No.
@@blackpeter70 lmao. Was a good comment on your part
This... To open yourself up and become vulnerable for reasons of compassion, but also knowing you have what it takes to get through it and not be hurt, and not lose your overall resolve.
Enjoyed it brother. Thanks
