Obsessed with Human Behavior: Going “Beyond Tells” with Blake Eastman

“When I’m in front of people, everyone is a puzzle, and I’m trying to crack it.”

So says Blake Eastman, a man with many abilities, interests, and ambitions. He has a graduate degree in psychology, is a former adjunct psychology professor at the City University of New York, a former professional poker player, a current poker coach, and the creator of Beyond Tells, a poker tells training site.

Eastman’s more lofty ambitions involve studying human behavior in a broader, more real-world context. He is the founder and owner of the Nonverbal Group, a New York-based body language company that offers consulting to individuals and companies for real-world challenges, such as analyzing interview footage and conducting negotiations.
