Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People, written and read by Vanessa Van Edwards.
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 behaviour investigator, Vanessa Van Edwards studies the hidden forces that drive our behaviour patterns in her lab - and she's cracked the code. In Captivate she shares a wealth of shortcuts, systems and behaviour hacks derived from her research, to help you take charge of interactions at work and at home. You'll learn how to execute a social game plan to navigate any social situation; how to speed-read faces for seven universal 'microexpressions' that can be used 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.
Includes a bonus PDF of quizzes, graphs and illustrations.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Not just a book
This is excellent.
Vanessa is clear and gets to the point fast - this is not a guffy book where the first half is an intro to the second half which could have been done in 10 bullet points,.
Plus - and its a big plus- this audio book comes with a lengthy PDF, and more material from the science of people website.
so the book is essentially also a course. Stunning.
Thank you Vanessa -I've not written a review before but really wanted to tell people how worthwhile this book is.

Good listen on move and at lunch time
I like the humour and jokes in this book. Maybe I’m too lazy to do all the tasks but I have put a note on them to come back when I do have a time . Will probably listen again suggest this to everyone who wants to be better with people.

Life Changing
I don't usually write reviews but this audiobook was too good for me not to. I've really enjoyed listening to Vanessa's friendly and welcoming tone.
The guidance she provides is so easy to grasp and very practical. I've already started implementing these into my daily life and noticed the difference.
I highly recommend this book for anyone that could benefit from a direction on how to master social situations!

A must for those who struggle to connect with people
I am the person, who would be described as extrovert by those who know me well, but introvert by those who just met me. I always struggled with new people and to connect with them or leave a positive impression. However as I am in a leadership now I understand the importance of it and tried to analyse others people behaviours and mirror them myself. Since I came across Vanessa’s videos and then this book I can strongly say that my communication with others have improved significantly! I have listened to this book in the car or gym, but I’ll listen to it again so I can take notes! Thank you Vanessa!
