  • NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk to diagnose yourself or others. This talk reflects the speaker's interpretation of Machiavellianism and interpersonal relationships, which remains a part of ongoing debate among social scientists. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
    More context can be found below:
    Some researchers have found Machiavellian personality traits are not fixed across lifespan and may decrease over time. For more information see here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32145...
    Critiques around Machiavellianism and dark triad personality traits in business settings can be found here: www.science.org/content/artic...
    Have you ever been the victim of manipulation? Do you need to know how to deal with toxic people? This talk explains dark triad traits, helps you recognize different types of manipulative people, and provides a way of dealing with manipulators by using their strategic thinking against them.
    Daniel N. Jones, an Associate Professor at the University of Nevada Reno, is renowned for his research on dark personalities, with over 100 peer-reviewed publications. He's received accolades like the Early Career Award from the Western Psychological Association and grants from entities like the National Science Foundation. Jones delves into the Dark Triad and Tetrad, exploring traits like Machiavellianism and sadism, with a focus on their implications in areas like cyber-security. He's also authored a forthcoming book on "Emophilia: The Science of Serial Romance." Passionate about interdisciplinary solutions, he aims to establish consulting services to implement his evidence-based interventions. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    How to protect yourself from manipulators?
    Trust your intuition. Set clear boundaries. Don't give in to pressure. Seek support.
    Walk away if necessary...

    Great to meet with you at TEDx and so glad I got to see this talk in person. Many people feel like it’s their fault when they engage with a manipulator and begin to question their own self-worth. These tips help to put them back on the track to empowerment and trusting themselves again. What a unique way to take back control especially in situations when you can’t immediately get out of interacting with them (like if they’re a co-worker). Thanks so much Dr. Jones for your unique perspective!

    Maybe they should create "nice weekend syndrome"
    The nice man syndrome is on point, Its about men who are not honest about their feelings or actions.
    but "nice weeked syndrome" can be actually about being honest to yourself and to feelings to others.
    Make idea once a week going to a nature, camping or hiking with a family, play silly games, with some ball, or do tenis,
    husband will bond more with wife, wife will bond more with husband, thanks to innocent silly games.
    I mean games like "who will" make the tent first etc
    or who will prepare food, or something little just for fun,
    bringing some mushroom,
    in such innocent moment wife and husband enjoy the moments of silence, and gentle loving touch, holding hands while walking in nature,
    or he helps making a camp fire, she will hand him the stuff from bag, without any silly analytical "thoughts" in head
    looking into each others eyes, without words,
    Actions speak louder than constantly anlyzing,
    In silence they actually create "bonding loving" atmposphere in their marriage.
    People dont practice this silent approach,
    just sitting looking in camp fire and enjoy family time, or riding a horse together, walking a dog silently, and enjoying the other person´s presence,
    they are taught by media, to just talk all the time,
    so they dont have time to fall in love over and over again.
    But usually you fall in love especially when your mouth are shut, when your mind isnt too rational in prefrontal cortex,
    and eyes open, not in times of constant analyzis.
    so ypou let your heart speak sometimes too. Its called brain heart coherence, in state of alpha, theta.
    Laughter is healling and laughter makes people bond together.
    Children may learn new hobbies. It is better than being constantly attacked by news and silly topics on social media,
    or being brainwashed to eat some pills to feel happier.
    Hobbies and laughter is good stimulation for brain, also it increases immunity of the body, so people feel healthier, happier.
