Before you fall for the profile or get swept up in the good-on-paper version of someone, you need behavioural clarity — because attraction is easy, but long-term compatibility? That takes strategy.

You'll learn: * Why online messaging can create false intimacy * What to look for in a person's small reactions — especially to hearing “no” * How to tell the difference between polished confidence and true emotional availability * What it means when someone can (or can’t) talk about their ex * Why consistency matters more than charm These tips apply no matter your gender, culture, or age — because behaviour is universal, and compatibility is behavioural.

If you’re running a business and your marketing efforts aren’t getting results, it might not be about your visuals, your captions, or even your pricing. The issue could be behavioural. In this episode of How to Human, Behaviour Strategist Vishakha Abbi breaks down five core psychology principles that shape how people respond to your offers, including why people default to the middle pricing tier, how to use the power of “free” without cheapening your brand, and why the order in which you present your prices can make or break a sale.
