Because people on the spectrum are hypervigilant and often have this kind of oversensitive empathy, they actually develop advanced people-reading skills. I think this contradicts the popular belief about autism — that people on the spectrum can’t read faces or emotions. I’m sure that applies to some, but the ones who also have Nice Guy Syndrome have actually figured it Read More

I often work with people who are on the spectrum. A lot of you can be refreshingly honest and vulnerable — even brutal — with your feedback, and there are certain people, in certain situations, who are desperate for that. We live in such a fake world now, don’t we? Everybody’s so full of shit. We can’t trust politicians. We Read More

You may have beliefs about politics that resemble political memes. Maybe you have some beliefs about religious virtues, too. Where you’ve got a belief that you’re clinging to, but it’s actually too contradictory—you can’t even live by it. So, you need to ditch that and replace it, maybe with two separate beliefs, and then act according to both of those Read More

First and foremost, you’ve got to have a look at your behaviour and how it compares to what you think your beliefs are. You might start by just writing down your basic beliefs.

The thing that surprised me the most when working with criminals is: nearly all of them see themselves as a good person and they’ve got a big story about why they did this bad act. One of the coolest dudes I’ve ever worked with was a murderer. He got a life sentence, but he got out on parole, and I Read More

When I was really struggling with women, I started doing the pickup artist thing, which was essentially a deep dive into dishonesty. I learned how to manipulate and deceive women into liking me. I mean, every guy was kind of doing this anyway, but they just weren’t framing it like that. Everyone was doing their own basic version of seduction. Read More

I wanted to know what AI would make of me. So I logged into ChatGPT and gave it this prompt: Let’s do a psychological exercise. I want to really get to know myself. Ask me 15-20 questions that will draw out my true personality – where I stand on key issues, my preferences, my belief system and so on. You Read More

Daily Dose of Integrity When you hold back your truth, when you refuse to confront someone, when you try to make people feel happy all the time, when you don’t let them feel any other emotions—what effect do you think that’s going to have on their long-term future? Are they going to become stronger or weaker from you doing this? Read More

#AMA with Dan Munro In this episode of Ask Dan Anything, he discusses the challenges of practicing radical honesty, particularly in personal relationships. He emphasizes that even minimal assertiveness is a significant improvement over silence. Choosing peace over honesty actually leads to discomfort and long-term relationship issues. Dan advises against self-punishment for insufficient assertiveness, and stresses the importance of holding Read More

This is an excerpt from my course: Building Rapport How to Break Free from Workplace Limiting Beliefs and Build a Fulfilling Career When I think about my career journey, I always come back to one person—David. I met him early in my time working at the Department of Corrections, a government agency under the Ministry of Justice. David stood out Read More

Daily Dose of Integrity I was talking with a friend the other day about the concept of radical honesty. We were discussing how strange it is to say that honesty is radical. Shouldn’t dishonesty be considered to be the radical one? Why is it that I have to defend honesty to people, and convince them that honesty is a healthier Read More
