This book had some useful information but overall was neither scientific nor original. Most of the advice consisted of obvious actions such as , make eye contact , establish rapport by mimicking body language, and actively listen. In addition to that there was some new age section about directing your energy towards the other person. The author even describes an exercise where you shoot energy towards the other person and they are supposed to guess from where the energy is coming , e.g. head ,heart etc. All I could think at this point was ,"Okay are beams going to shoot from my forehead? " Finally , although the author directs the reader on how to approach shy people he never gives advice on how shy people can use his methods. The book show more didn't help me , a shy introvert, at all. show less
