Business. Nonfiction. Self Help. Economics. 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.

Just finished reading this while I wait for her other book to arrive. By page 60, I already recommended it to someone else. Definitely worth a read. ( )

Overall a decent book that had some useful tips, entertaining anecdotes and a healthy serving of pseudo-science (According to a person who is studying to be counsellor).

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.

While prepping to give my first public speaking event I stumbled across Vanessa Van Edwards and her website Science of People. Vanessa has a passion for people, learning what makes us tick, why we act the way we do and how to use this information to become a better communicator. Understanding people is a big part of my job and I'm always looking for new tips and tricks I can use in my daily life. Turns out that her book Captivate is exactly what I was looking for and a whole lot more. Through her research Vanessa has found many science backed "hacks" and created a user manual for the rest of us on how to captivate anyone and build connections. She explains easy to follow strategies that apply to any sort of social interaction: conferences, parties, interviews, pitches, dating, etc. I was able to start using these strategies immediately and definitely see them helping with future interactions. Introvert or extrovert, social rock star or socially awkward, this book is for everyone.

I listened to the audio book read by the author. Vanessa's passion for her work shines through in her narration. As much as I enjoyed the audio, I need to buy a physical copy to use as a reference. ( )
