About this audiobook

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 lab-and she'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 aren'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 - 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 people's emotions.
· Conversation Sparks: All conversations can be hacked-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. What's more, you will improve your interpersonal intelligence, make a killer first impression, and build rapport quickly and authentically in any situation-negotiations, interviews, parties, and pitches. You will never interact in the same way again.

Editor's Note

Lead the conversation…

A must-read guide for anyone too shy or scared to talk to strangers at networking events or parties. Learn to read a room and turn the tides in your favor in any conversation by learning the rules that regulate human behavior. Full of actionable tips to eradicate any awkward pauses in future conversations.

    This is one of the most profound pieces of work in our culture. I believe if everyone understood the people they were interacting with you would have a lot more for me and contentment with each other. Most importantly, we would have a lot more grace. this is life-changing work! Thank you Vanessa and your incredible team for putting this together!
