Captivate by Vanessa Van Edwards

Captivate

by Vanessa Van Edwards

Wish you knew exactly what to say in awkward social situations? Or that you had a formula for charisma?

You need to know how people work.

As a human behaviour investigator, Vanessa Van Edwards studies the hidden forces that drive our behaviour patterns - and she's cracked the code.

In Captivate she shares a wealth of shortcuts, systems and behaviour hacks to help you take charge of your interactions. You'll learn a game plan for navigating any social situation, unique ways to break away from the same old small talk, how to speed-read faces to predict people's emotions, and much more besides.

When you understand the laws of human behaviour you can get along with anyone. With Vanessa's help, you will never interact in the same way again.

Initial thoughts: Very informative and probably worth adding to my personal library for future reference. I listened to the audiobook which I borrowed from Overdrive. Learned quite a lot and was reminded of things I had already learned about communication skills in the past.
