What makes someone tick? This is the same question as asking what motivates someone? You can take the hard way and try to find the other person’s boiling point. This is not recommended. People are just itching to let their emotions free. It’s your and my job to help other people get their emotions out in the open.

Do you have that one person in your life (co-worker, spouse, friend) that you just don’t get? Try to use some of the tactics we discuss to understand what makes them tick. Once you know what motivates them, then you are in a much better place. Empathy is the best policy. People are complex creatures. It is an art to understand the psychology of the human mind.
