Gary Halbert - Human Engineering - Can anyone explain this

13 replies
So...I was watching the master on YouTube and came up on this Video..
It's 4 minutes and Gary only talks for 2 minutes and then the video is over with no part 2. I tried Google but was unable to find more information on Gary's topic of Human Engineering.

If any warriors out here can explain it further or better still give me a couple of examples, I would be grateful...

PS: If you have a video or an article on this topic by Gary - that would be super cool

    Hey Drez,

    I've watched all that stuff....my post was in direct relation to the topic of Human Engineering. Thanks.

    To Warriors in General..l - if anyone has info on Human Engineering related to what Gary was saying - do post, if not kindly skip.

    thanks

      I think he was talking about cloning people.

      No. Not really.

      To the OP: have no idea where this "H.E." thing went.

      I know who you can ask and probably get an answer. One of his old time cubs, Dan Gallapoo. Better known as Doberman Dan.

      Google thusly.

    Self help and personal development used to be called Human Engineering years ago.

  • It's a mystery. Maybe he was referring to Social Engineering like he did here:

    Based on what's here, my guess (guess) is he's talking about a larger category which includes social engineering, NLP or whatever, but also just plain research and knowing who your customer is and being on their wavelength.

    However social engineering is relevant and not talked about nearly enough.

    In the copywriting world "human engineering" is regarding the psychology of persuasion.
    Go read Cialdini.

    @ Joe & John_S Gary covers both Social Engineering and Human Engineering as two separate topics -

    @ Vincenzo - I've read Cialdini more than once and based on what Gary was saying, there's a difference, although it's still a mystery...

    I guess I'll keep at it...thanks all the same warriors.


    Cheers

      Ask yourself, what can you include in your copy to change a prospect in some way and make him more apt to buy?

      Well, you can change his state of mind.

      And you can inflame his emotions.

      That's probably where he was going with it.
