Three-Brain Communication Model

Body language accounts for 93% of all communication - 55% facial and body expression, 38% voice tone, only 7% words

Albert Mehrabian's Psychology Today research showing 7% words, 38% voice tone, 55% facial/body expression

Women are naturally up to 10 times better at sending and receiving body language communications than men

Scientific estimates showing women's superior body language processing abilities

The universal human mating sequence: eye contact, verbal contact side-by-side, face-to-face interaction, hand-to-arm contact, arm around waist, mouth-to-mouth contact, then escalation to intimacy

Anthropological research on human primate mating behaviors broken into over 50 detailed steps

The three-brain system consists of the reptilian 'me' brain for survival, the mammalian 'we' brain for social bonding, and the logical brain to coordinate them

Pagan describes the reptilian brain as handling physical survival and fight-or-flight responses, the emotional brain as

Humans have three distinct brains that evolved on top of each other: the primitive brain (brain stem/limbic system), the emotional brain (mammalian brain), and the logical brain (cortex/frontal lobes)

Based on Dr. Paul MacLean's triune brain theory, with the primitive brain containing the amygdala, the mammalian brain h

The primitive and emotional brains are where all the real power lies and they control the thinking brain, not the other way around

The older brains control concerns like sex, power, controlling others, feeling threatened, getting love, affection, and

The three brains operate very efficiently individually but are not well connected to each other, creating inner conflict when they disagree

When stuck in life and feeling pulled in multiple directions, it's because the physical, emotional, and logical brains c

The three-brain model addresses the reptilian brain (physical/survival), mammalian brain (emotional/bonding), and neocortex (logical/abstract thought)

Based on Dr. Paul McLean's triune brain theory, Eben explains these three brains evolved over millions of years and hand

The reptilian brain evolved to deal with the physical world, managing fight or flight responses and keeping the body alive

Eben describes this as the ancient hind brain at the top of spinal cord that beats our heart and manages survival functi

The mammalian brain handles emotions and allows bonding with others and feeling affection toward people in our tribe

Eben explains emotions are abstracted physical things that stand in for physical responses, making us more subtle and se
