Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Get what you want from even the most difficult characters.
All of us have to deal with difficult people. Whether we’re asking our neighbour to move a fence or our boss for a pay rise, we can struggle to avoid arguments and get what we want.
Laurence and Emily Alison are world leaders in forensic psychology, and they specialise in the most difficult interactions imaginable: criminal interrogations. They advise and train the police, security agencies, the FBI and the CIA on how to deal with extremely dangerous suspects when the stakes are high.
After 30 years’ work - and unprecedented access to 2,000 hours of terrorist interrogations - they have developed a ground-breaking model of interpersonal communication. This deceptively simple approach to handling any encounter works as well for teenagers as it does for terrorists. Now it’s time to share it with the world.
Rapport reveals that every interaction follows four styles: control (the lion), capitulate (the mouse), confront (the Tyrannosaur) and co-operate (the monkey). As soon as you understand these styles and your own goals you can shape any conversation at will. And you’ll be closer to the real secret: how to create instant rapport.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Detailed, clear, and enjoyable
I found this book fascinating. As a student in forensic psychology, I have been taught the literature, theory, and application of these topics. This book was fantastic for rounding all this up in a clear and coherent way, elucidated with case studies and real life examples. Great job to the authors.

Recommended for everyone!
What an amazing book. I normally never write reviews but given I have already recommended this book to friends and family I felt I should be honest and let other readers/listeners know. Not only will this book help yourself and your relationships it will (in my opinion) improve our environment if we all try to follow it a bit more than not.

Very Useful, Explained a lot of Interactions
Great book. Written by real people who use the knowledge and aren't arrogant or conceited about it. Give the clear principles for communicating and explains why some interactions don't succeed. I really liked the extreme examples from terrorism and police force as this made things really clear. These might not suit everyone. It's a book to keep as a resource to refer to not just read once. I found doing the self assessment quiz difficult with the audible notes as the instructions were not written done and I couldn't find the section on the audible again. A chapter reference on the notes would have been helpful. I bought the book/audible combo so I referred back to the Kindle book.

Essential life skills or secret weapon?
Possibly the most surprising book I’ve read, the insights here are enchantingly revelatory and so very usable in your day to day life. This book could make the world a better place.

Superb
This is a superb book, It's written by two knowledgeable and experienced practitioners and I found it both relatable, i.e. I can relate to the examples quoted and the theory described in addition to which it is extremely useful and will guide me in my future interactions.
A credit very well spent.

I am listening to this on audible but no chart
Other books I've downloaded have had an accompanying pdf and they refer to it, but it's not there. Frustrating. I want to see it.
