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.
