b'\\u201cMORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE THINKING TOO MUCH AND FEELING ENOUGH.\\u201d\\nThere is a certain art that I feel had been lost over the years in this country, and you may have noticed it too. It\\u2019s the art of seduction.\\nLet me make one thing clear, when I say seduction I don\\u2019t mean unwanted flirting. I don\\u2019t mean trying to manipulate someone. True seduction is a lore more than that.\\nSeduction is about selflessly making other people feel good about themselves. Their bodies, their personalities, and everything about them.\\nIt\\u2019s also about being aware of your own body. Owning it, being proud of it, and listening to it.\\nIn America we spend so much time on our phones, we\\u2019ve lost that seduction between each other. This is a topic that my guest today, Chen Lizra, is an expert on.\\nChen Lizra had a wildly successful Ted Talk on the power of seduction. She\\u2019s also an award winning entrepreneur, best-selling author, and a professional dancer.\\nShe learned all about the power of seduction while living in Cuba, where she was deeply inspired by the culture of body confidence there. She was able to see how people were able to really connect with each other, lift each other up, and make a true connection with their bodies.\\nAs a result, she has developed a powerful method of teaching body-awareness called somatic intelligence.\\nI was fascinated during this conversation as she explained (and demonstrated) these principles and how they impact our relationships, our opportunities, and our self-confidence.\\nLearn all about the power of seduction in our everyday lives, on Episode 628.\\nSome Questions I Ask:\\nIn your Ted Talk you mention children are taught in America to be more closed off, is that right?
