Super Power Patrick Jane Research Paper
I'm sure anyone and everyone addicted to The Mentalist knows what it feels like to crave for that mind power Patrick Jane uses on a daily basis (or per episode at least). I love it when he uses it to solve cases and specially when he helps people overcome their weaknesses and general issues.
One of my favorite episodes was that time Jane was hypnotizing Rigsby and trying to un-hypnotize him. It's just so intriguing to imagine how 'free will' can be modified using a soft tongue and a few pressure-point pokes.
If I could have any form of super power, I've always wanted the ability to manipulate minds. Well, I'm no real-life mentalist but here are a few practical tips on how to begin practicing the power of suggestion.

It doesn't help to contradict. His or her mind will be more open to hearing you out if you start with an affirmative. Start with lines that, "You have a good point there. But I'm sure you'll also agree when I say..."
It helps to draw from your subject's own words. Ex. "It's good that you mentioned how cloudy it was that day. I even had to bring an umbrella. Perhaps you can be more forgiving. I'm sure it was the bed weather that made him late."
Highlight one of his arguments or ideas. It subconsciously assures him/her that you're listening well to what he/she has to say. That way, your subject will trust you more and in turn listen well to you too.
Make Eye Contact but Don't

    Amy Tan uses thoughtful laughter in her novel, The Joy Luck Club, to make a point through laughter or humor. Thoughtful laughter is effective because it grabs the attention of the reader and expresses a point, whether the reader knows it or not. One scene that provokes thoughtful laughter is in the chapter “Best Quality” while the family picks crabs to eat. When there was only two crabs left, Jing-Mei Woo tries to choose the crab with the missing leg, so her mom would have the better crab. On page 227 during the meal, Jing-Mei Woo says “That's the way Chinese mothers show they love their children, not through hugs and kisses but the stern offering of steamed dumplings, duck gizzards, and crab.” The Chinese mothers in The Joy Luck Club show affection to their daughters differently through non-obvious manners, such as showing off their daughters or giving…

    Effective verbal communication starts with being able to listen. Listening to the entire message, letting it formulate in your mind, and then responding, will help you understand what the message is. If you are not sure of what the message means, ask verifying questions of the sender to make sure that you are both on the same page. If the receiver does not listen before responding the message could be construed as negative and this could lead to misunderstandings and…
