Transcripts
Breaking Bad has one of the best
character transformations in TV history
we watch Walter White go from a weak
looking pushover to a powerful presence
who commands respect a guy opens his
story and gets shot and you think out of
me
I am the one who knocks while you
definitely don't want to be like Walton
every way there are four habits you can
learn from him to look and feel
extremely confident in any situation
you're goddamn right and even though
Breaking Bad is a scripted TV show all
the psychology covered in today's video
will apply to your actual life the first
thing Walt did to stop looking weak was
learn to project confidence with his
body language we see this for the first
time when he stands up to a guy who's
bullying his disabled son I'll mess you
up man or you'll have one shot you
better make it good
what are you waiting for your
girlfriends you better go you better
gods are against him he projects that
he's confident he's going to win but be
careful here this is an area where you
don't want to blindly copy Walt you
won't command Respect by starting fights
or taunting people you'll just seem like
a jerk and you might get your ass kicked
what you can learn from Walt is his eye
contact during conflict Walt projects
massive confidence because in high
pressure situations he holds eye contact
if you think that I am capable of doing
this wall seems to have a pretty clear
rule for eye contact during conflict
don't break first here's an example
stay out of my territory
now there's Nuance to this if you never
break eye contact during conflict you
risk creating more hostility in real
life any of these situations could
easily result in you getting badly hurt
this is why most people make submissive
eye contact often breaking to look down
because they fear conflict Walt
originally had submissive eye contact
and you'll notice it gives you a very
different impression of who he is what's
she talking about
Walt
um if you want to diffuse tension
without looking weak or creating more
hostility hold eye contact for three to
four seconds and then break to the side
instead of down Beyond eye contact actor
Brian Cranston has actually gone on
record saying there was one small
physical change he made to transform the
impression you get of Walt he simply
stood with his shoulders back and his
chest out it seems like a small change
but those little tweaks to eye contact
and posture give you a much more
powerful presence Beyond body language
you can also command more respect by
changing how you speak part of what
makes Walt look nervous early on is when
he speaks very quickly like here when
he's nervous he'll get caught by his
wife did you man Colin's sick
now listen uh that is just not going to
work for me I'm not interested in that
at all and I would appreciate it if you
don't call here anymore contrast that
with these next two clips where Walt's
more confident he has a slow speaking
Cadence and uses pauses between words to
hold attention the pause is the moment
when you're not speaking and ironically
that's the moment that pulls people in
specifically if you pause at the moment
people most want to hear what you have
to say in your position
I would have done the same
Jesse you asked me if I was in the math
business or the money business
neither
I'm in the Empire business now speaking
like this is much easier to do if you
genuinely feel confident so how can you
actually be more confident in situations
that normally make you nervous and why
is it believable to the audience that
Walter White can go from a chemistry
teacher with no confidence to someone
who's able to stay confident while he's
surrounded by gangsters ready to kill
him when you start talking and tell me
what you want
fifty thousand dollars
35 for the pound of Matthew stole and
another 15 from my partner's pain and
suffering if you haven't watched the
show Walt recently learned he has
terminal cancer now that he knows he's
dying he feels he has nothing to be
afraid of it might not seem like it but
this is actually something we can all
learn from hopefully in a safer
healthier way than cooking meth because
we're all going to die eventually this
is one of stoke philosophy's most
important teachings Memento Mori
remember you will die this isn't meant
to depress you but to help you build
stoic courage to live life fully if you
remember your time on Earth is short it
can free you to take the risk approach
the beautiful person in the bar ask for
the promotion quit the job you hate
don't be Reckless but live the life you
want while you have the chance building
still confidence can be as simple as
setting a phone reminder each morning to
meditate on Memento Mori for just a few
minutes ask yourself how would you live
differently if you knew you were going
to die in five years what about one year
what about one week you don't have to
start living like you're going to die in
a week but it can help you find the
confidence to prioritize what's
important and stop putting off the life
you really want to to live now while
Memento Mori is the reason Walt can be
so calm Under Pressure that mindset
alone wouldn't have helped him survive
for long in the meth world and
especially after his cancer goes into
remission Walt definitely does not want
to die you see this in season three his
life is threatened and he does not stay
calm
I know I can make him understand please
if I could talk to Gus I can convince
him okay just let me please please
please let me talk to him shut up
shut up the context here is that Walt's
bosses have found a new meth cook now
they don't need Walt they're going to
kill him but watch how the power Dynamic
shifts once Walt sends his partner Jesse
to kill the new meth cook what the hell
was that exactly you might want to hold
off yeah
why because your boss is gonna need me
63 53 Juan Tabo apartment six this
highlights the real reason Walt was able
to be Fearless for so much of Breaking
Bad he's Irreplaceable he makes the best
meth and everyone knows it you all know
exactly who I am
say my name Eisenberg
God damn right it's Walt's confidence
and his Irreplaceable skill that give
him power and respect in almost every
situation and what Breaking Bad is a
fictional show that Dynamic is very real
if your employer or clients think you're
irreplaceable they'll do anything to
keep you this is true in a romantic
partnership as well the frustrating part
for many people is what actually makes
someone Irreplaceable it often doesn't
seem fair the hardest worker doesn't
always get promoted and the nicest
person doesn't always get the most dates
that's because for most people getting
what you want in life is actually a mix
of two things your ability and your
ability to make people like you and
respect you that's the power of Charisma
when you have it the world suddenly
opens up for you if that's something you
want you may like our program Charisma
