The question becomes, "Do they feel happier because of the technique, or because he is a perceived authority on the topic who is telling them how to feel?" This is as much a study in Social Psychology as it is in Self-Hypnosis.

[@Yazan26579]

My thought exactly.

[@tinanikolova2320]

Does it matter which it is though, in the end you feel what you feel doesn’t matter wether you’ve hypnotized or not you are still experiencing emotion

[@Yazan26579]

@@tinanikolova2320 no that’s the problem, when you’re actually not feeling anything, but are afraid to say so because you have to play along with the “authority” since “he knows better and therefore it must be real but I’m the one who’s broken? Who can’t feel what’s needed to be felt”. And therefore you give false information to support his theory although it’s just a spam.

[@OmniphonProductions]

@@tinanikolova2320 In _this_ context, it's relatively harmless. However, the _method_ is a common tool of cult leaders...religious, political, economic, and more...as well as domestic abusers. If you can manipulate people's thoughts and emotions in small ways, you can _baby step_ them down a path that either (1) eventually makes it easy for them to accept _extreme_ claims...and actions...without question and/or (2) make it very difficult to _leave_ the manipulative environment, especially having invested so many resources...time, money, and so forth...into the situation. With regard to your question, the _difference_ is the degree to which the audience maintains control.

@@eve_______it is a scientific approach. They’ve done actual studies on athletes to see if imagining something brings it to reality. They did this with training, seperated them into 2 groups. One group did real actual training and the second group only imagined themselves training. The group who did the actual training only improved marginally more than those who imagined it so it’s really just a variation of this SCIENTIFIC approach.

[@fantinyney7798]

Applauding when a person comes on stage is NOT a conditioned response. It is the voluntary use of a culturally recognised way of showing appreciation/welcoming someone.

Some of the techniques used here were not mentioned, namely belief that the method works and anxiety from external pressure, but it did explain the most important basics and should get people more interested in how their mind works. The trick of conjuring up a good memory through physical feelings is a really effective method for regaining hope in desperate times. Very good that he did this, too many problems are caused by not understanding how our minds work.

[@OikawasDisciple]

I remember hearing about this method in like 8th grade and I used it ever since to when I would present something in front of people since I get very anxious. When I touch the back of my neck I get relieved. It honestly helped me through some tough presentations

[@timothyduerksen3520]

I think there was more psychosoma in this than actual self-conditioning; he told me to feel happy, so whether I felt happy or not, I wanted to.

[@zkcrisyee]

That’s the basis of good conditioning… Classic conditioning wasn’t as effective in humans as it was in dogs (Pavlov), for example, since humans have complex cognitive processes that can make us more suggestible through "talking" and pure linguistic influence. That’s when Charcot did his first demonstration of a "hypnosis" session in front of a class filled with renowned doctors and scholars, notably Sigmund Freud, who as a young doctor was left fascinated by the capacity of hypnosis techniques and talking to have such an impactful and important effect on the human mind. Then later came operant conditioning with Skinner, which even if it was still somewhat rigid in its scientific approach, at least admitted the presence of cognitions (thoughts, memories, pleasure/unpleasing experiences) as being potentially important in the cognition process. Then there’s sociocognitive theory. Which takes elements from operant conditioning and mixes it with social conditioning, which has been proven to work intensely nowadays, particularly the younger you are. So for example, if you say that him telling you to feel happy would induce you to be like that, whether or not you truly felt happy in the first place… falls into that as well. You’d for example be rewarded for feeling happy after someone charismatic on a stage pulled you over and told you to feel that way after much convincing and motivational speech, plus there’s the whole rewarding stimuli for doing so (applause, laughter, feelings of acceptance and competency). So you’d be socially reinforced positively to act a certain way, and rewarded for it through social acceptance and gratification. That plus, we humans learn through Vicarious Conditioning, according to Bandura, not only through pure classic Stimuli -> Reaction conditioning. We watch what works for others and we end up imitating behaviour that we see others be rewarded for, in the long run we end up shaping our social and professional personas not only through competency learning but also through watching other succeed/fail, be lauded/reprimanded for their specific behaviours and social attitudes. Conditioning is dually behavioural AND sociocognitive. “Psychosomatic" could be a way to describe the sociocognitive aspect, though that is a word mostly reserved to psychopathology and people who transfer mental ailments to physical ones. Feeling happy is a psychological cognitive process, not a physical manifestation of a cognitive state.

[@ElysianEmperor]

00:06 🧠 Conditioned responses are triggered by specific cues or stimuli, leading to predictable reactions. 01:04 🌟 Memories and experiences are linked to emotions, creating anchors that can be reactivated. 05:47 🔑 An anchor is a specific cue that elicits a predictable emotional response. 09:12 🧬 The brain can't distinguish between vividly imagining an experience and actually experiencing it. 16:07 🎉 You can create your own anchors to access specific emotional states on demand.

[@ncbuilders]

Thanks buddy.

[@coocoointhebrains]

Anchoring, conditioning: If you know the correct trigger then you can trigger a specific response. You can create at will your own. How? First, why? 1. Pattern recognition: learn from past experiences and apply in the future. Not make mistakes twice. 2. Action emerging/ visualizing : visualizing an experience or action is the same as doing it. Now how? Essential necessity a convenient memory. 1. Decide on a stimulus and state: for example thumb and forefinger together will bring a happiness state. 2. Remember 2 or 3 memories that are happy. 3. Step inside the memory: taste, smell, view, feel, sound, notice where its strongest. 4. Apply the stimulus : allow it to dissipate and distribute itself within you, growing the feeling, then hold the anchor for 3 seconds. Notice where the emotion was strongest in your body and let it grow higher and higher and repeat the anchor again. 5. Test and reuse your anchor : rate your current state and then reuse the anchor, reapply.

On the other hand, man who moves forward with execution of ideas without planning is doomed. It is similar to leapiing before you look. Also within that same category is deciding before the full facts are in, otherwise known as assumptions. Things in life will always be uncertain sure, but there is a bit of solace there. Your competence and ability is really the only 2 things which can help us to creat a successful future.

[@Qieth]

In Neuro linguistic programming, we call this anchoring, which is a lot faster to say than queue response systems :D A super simple example of anchors are if you play someone the McDonald's tune - they will for sure imagine the logo, or maybe a burger.

[@seokjinnielittleangel3017]

I think I have done this many times without knowing but instead of manipulating emotions from past I daydream about future events and think about the emotions of how I would feel in that situation and let them sink in the present time. Sometime it could be a good method to brighten your mood but I read somewhere that we shouldn't do it as the brain couldn't differentiate about what is real and delusional. So in case you are thinking about succeeding in your goal and daydreaming about it the brain will think it's already happened and maybe you loose your interest in it.

Just so people know, this also works with objects as anchors. Put a memory to an object and you will think of it every time you see the object. Also, you can use this method to remember things. For instance, if you plan to schedule an appointment for next week, link that idea or thought to your shoes. To increase the effectiveness of this put your shoes away in a pattern that is abnormal. For example, put one shoe on the other or put them both on the floor upside down. Next time you see them you will remember to schedule your appointment or what have you. Like my comment if you try it and it works!

[@asadhussain5715]

I do this a lot but never realized it was an actual thing

[@AtulSharma-ss4uc]

after a point i couldnt understand a thing he was saying but was still listening with 100% attention.. thats some good technique

[@TakeMeToYourLida]

I was in tears of joy as I relived my happiest memory and soaked in the gratitude to set my anchor. This is such a great exercise for those who have met themselves deeply and are still seeking.

[@AdiAditii]

" For our brain there is no potential difference between having an actual experience or vividly imagining it and that's exactly what will enable us to create anchor "

[@baax97]

This was awesome, I was feeling really bad but now I feel so happy. This is amazing, I'll definitely be keeping this trick in mind for focus/concentration and calmness

[@carlmagnuschristerson9748]

Well done Timon Krause! I'm right now in a library and smiling and ppl around me are confused when I sit with my eyes closed for about 2 minutes under your talk, you increased my happiness level today. Thank you Timon for being an inspiring human being. Much love! Carl

[@beatewegleitner7920]

He is amazing and a piece of art 🔥🔥

[@beeech1080]

Showed up 3 years later in my feed and im very thankful. Just what I needed , thank you

[@prettyparadoxicalwoman8285]

Helping yourself be happy from internal reprogramming is not antisocial. If a person manipulates another person for their own gain is. H es talking about training your own brain

[@fdprudhomme5586]

One of the most useful Teds I've seen. Thank you Timon Krause !

[@djramma86]

How to react when the most beautiful memories are the ones that induce pain

[@Marcel-rb4ws]

I always wondered about smell and perfume and the feeling it gives you. And while seeing this video and him explaining conditioning I understand, that smell is the easiest thing to condition somebody or yourself to. I started using my new perfume while i was almost every weekend out to go to some bars and clubs and I always wore clothes I felt really good in and now everytime i smell this perfume i get a big confidence boost. I really think that the Art of Conditioning is a very important skill in manipulation

[@agnieszkalewandowska9896]

It was not an easy job to find happy memories. But I did it! Thank you, Timon! :D

[@clipexexe6633]

I found one that wasn't linked to a situation but a thing. I really love a sticker of mine, whenever I look at it, it makes me smile. I couldn't think of anything near that happiness other than one new years.

[@NighttimeDaydreams]

Bro, this dude just totally captivated all of us. I adore him. And it's all his doing. 😂 (Not to mention as soon as I heard him speak, I immediately thought "wow I love his accent." lol. He's clearly learned body language as well.)

[@richmacinnes4173]

Thank you so much..you just helped my son with his anger issues in 1 short video..hope your happy always sir

[@znzpro]

Manipulating emotions is easy. If you'd only understand. Knowing is understanding. Knowledge is light.

[@ADDIDASSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

Timon, now that's a perm that even Richard Simmons could admire.

[@Ciiphernought]

That f bomb 😂😂

[@smilefenn4813]

did no one else see that

[@Lucid_Meno]

1;38 yep

[@oddode7796]

i knoooooow 😂😂😂😂 it was out so much of the blue it's funny

[@XX-tg4gj]

KawaiiNekoVert How was that cringeworthy? Have you never heard a public speaker outside of a religious structure?

[@Patty_Brard]

@@XX-tg4gj Its selfreflection. People who find a lot of normal interactions cringy are most of the time cringing at themselves a lot when they look back at situations.

[@dropdeaddork23]

Mentalists all walk and talk in this way I can't explain but really like.

[@DavidDragonhammer]

If we follow what he teaches,so much of what we do would be better suited. He has a gift of teaching,you can tell his passion,what he taught was what we all know,but never doing anything about it,take what he teaches,and we all can be a better person .

[@veggiesaremurder]

I'm genuinely so happy and full of gratitude after this. 😊❤️

[@aksjdjsoqlwnwj890]

I love his curly hair it matches his look very well he’s sooo cute 😂💖

[@Blessthemartyr132]

I love the way this guy communicates

[@Anish7777]

Good memories came back.. now we can live those moments whenever we want... 🙏

[@chvp4605]

Loved it,it's so cool to know how to produce a stimulus and use it for a lot of occasions,pretty useful,also he's really goodlooking!!💕🙌🏻✨

[@PenelopeNele]

I have tried meditating quite a while ago and while watching this and following his directions, I got the same calming state of mind like I did back then. I had lost it over the years and wasn't able to find peace through meditating again, so rn I am super happy that I was able to feel this sensation again!! :D Danke Tim

[@nehalega9844]

Yes, i felt the same. I feel amazing!

[@VishalChoudhary006]

​@@nehalega9844I don't feel Anything. (Happiness function is gone)💀

[@oikawaspeach_7165]

im going to hack my brain into dismissing my social anxiety using this lmao. that aside, such an immensely insightful ted talk

[@stevensteven6091]

Not a bad idea

[@Dadkvar]

He was hypnotizing the crowd. You could see the ones it worked on and the ones it didn't. nice

[@baby_g2552]

This is so fascinating and the fact that he was able to put this into practice

[@MariamPakbaz]

am i here to learn how to manipulate emotions or fall in love with him i’m not sure yet

[@lilith666line2]

I came here to learn but now I am in love.

[@darkrangerl]

What's missing here? Why are you falling for him?

[@ADDIDASSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

Timon has a perm that would make even Richard Simmons envious. I was waiting for a bird to fly out. What chance did you ladies have of not falling in love?

[@DP-yw4vk]

As a budding actor- this video was so incredibly amazing and useful!

[@ivanblazevic9353]

I have severe problems with depression and anxiety and negative perspective concerning other people and what they think about me and I'm in difficult situation in my head right now. Working on season, living with 20 other people in the same house, something like Big Brother. I had a difficult few days and an awful morning today and I cannot express how this video affected me.I was concentrated, I got into it and I'm way more hapier and relaxed for an hour-long period right now, things are just much simpler in my head. Will definitely do this again.!

[@jimintae3284]

a few years ago i watched this talk/video.... and now re-watching it when im majoring psychology, studying psychology - i completely understand him now

[@kavya914]

One of THE best video I have ever watched

[@luluthestargazer]

Thank you, I felt so happy I cried! wow! and that is so interesting as my 3rd memory was when I cried tears of joy as I was so happy in the moment I was aware that I wouldnt change a thing and yet we didnt focus on the 3rd..absolutely fascinating and what a gift, thank you!

[@geetanjalibiswas3655]

KZbin suggested this and now I'm infactuated 😂😂😂 would love to watch more of his talks ❤

[@Mikail_199]

Einfach eine Legende der Typ

[@ellieg9099]

This man is GORGEOUS!!! A gentleman & a scholar. Statuesque... Hey, thanks to his parents for getting busy. 👌💞

[@rileynethercote2628]

I feel like there is a certain level of placebo effect playing into this too. Every time we try to use this to manipulate our emotions, we are subconsciously convincing ourselves that it is working, meaning we are convincing ourselves that we feel a little happier, focused, etc

[@doriangrayapologist]

I aspire to match this level of chaotic energy.

[@MissLeonable]

Does anyone know the anime ‚cowboy bebop‘? He looks like Spike. Great talk :)

I love cowboy bebop! >.< except Spike's eyes are brown.

so.... “go to your happy place” is a real actual thing? never thought of doing it bc i thought it was bs

[@bnecrusher3993]

He asked me to recall a memory in which I was happy, but idk how cringe it sounds. I was blank like a clean sheet of paper who is just blindly listening to him while others were recalling their past and I'm lost trying to remember one good memory I had but failed...

[@jannamarie7458]

When he said to think of a happy memory No such memory came to mind
