Loading... Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with Peopleby Vanessa Van Edwards
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) melsmarsh | Mar 12, 2024 |  I think, I mainly enjoyed the book because it made me really think hard about my social interactions and the people in my life, in an attempt to understand them better, even if sometimes the tools I was supposed to be using according to the book were pseudo-science, it was still a thought provoking exercise that instilled a sense of empathy (Which is never a bad thing). However, I disliked the ample dosage of childish phrases like "hacking your conversations" or "levelling up your social intelligence", I felt like they took away from the overall message of the book. But perhaps I wasn't the intended audience which seems to be nerdy social awkward introverted people (Paraphrasing the author here) which I don't really identify with.

As much as I enjoyed the audio, I need to buy a physical copy to use as a reference. ( ) Narilka | Dec 8, 2018 | ) Jason.Ong.Wicky | Oct 9, 2018 | no reviews | add a review

HTML:Do you wish you could decode people? Do you want a formula for charisma? Do you want to know exactly what to say to your boss, your date or your networking partner? You need to know how people work. As a human behavior investigator, Vanessa Van Edwards studies the hidden forces that drive our behavior patterns in her labâ??and sheâ??s cracked the code. In Captivate she shares a wealth of valuable shortcuts, systems and behavior hacks for taking charge of their interactions at work, at home, and in any social situation. These arenâ??t the people skills you learned in school. This is the first comprehensive, science backed, real life manual on human behavior and a completely new approach to building connections. Just like knowing the right formulas to use in chemistry, or the right programming language to write code, the hacks in this book are simple ways to solve for people. For example: · The Social Game Plan: Every party, networking event and social situation has a predictable map â?? discover how to work a room and the sweet spot for making the most connections. · The 7 Microexpressions: Learn how to speed-read the 7 universal facial expressions and how they can be used to predict peopleâ??s emotions. · Conversation Sparks: All conversations can be hackedâ??if you know how certain words generate dopamine in the people you meet. When you understand the laws of human behavior you can get along with anyone, and your influence, impact, and income will increase as a result. Whatâ??s more, you will improve your interpersonal intelligence, make a killer first impression, and build rapport quickly and authentically in any situationâ??negotiations, interviews, parties, and pitches. You will never interact in the same way again. *Bonus PDF included with quizzes, g No library descriptions found. |
