Resumen del Editor

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.

Awesome!

I simply loved it from the beginning! Vanessa is definitely a professional and in a very funny mood I learned a lot about me! Now I have the tools to start to become a new me! Thank you Vanessa!

Brilliant

Vanessa Van Edwards cleverly introduces herself as a “recovering awkward person”...

Shes used science to understand people and in this book she clearly lays out exactly how to use the best strategies for connecting with people, influencing them and building lasting relationships. It’s perfect for you if you struggle or felt uncomfortable in social situations.

So why am I listening to it... I’m a naturally outgoing and confident person. I always thrived in social settings. My wife says; “the bigger the crowd, the brighter I shine!” I’m a sales mentor, marketing strategist and public speaker. I know people and intuitively understand how to connect and influence.

So why am I reading this... in her charming way, Vanessa has helped me decode what I do naturally. Understanding the latest science behind relationships and connection has taken me to deeper levels of conscious competence. This has empowered me to improve relationships with my client & team as well as with my family & friends.

I’m so grateful to have found Captivate snd I’m having so much fun practicing Vanessa’s ‘hacks’ and using them for good :)

Recovering Awkward Person

Wow, when I first started this book I was unsure as to how it would play out - but I actually really loved it! I love how Vanessa ‘Captivates’ you through her book and how she’s written out the information and techniques in a way for us to understand while keeping me entertained, I found my self laughing a loud a lot! I gave this book a normal listen but wasn’t able to make notes or write much down as I listened to this at work, I am going to take what I’ve learn for now and use that in my world, the useful little things I have take so far is already working! I will in the future listen to this book again with more intent and motive in order to improve myself and stay curious - thank you Vanessa, you’ve made me a little less awkward and a little more interested in other people!

Awesome

best book I have ever listened to. I major in psychology so when I heard the big five and five love languages I got excited. this book showed me that soft skills are important in the work place as well as your personal and romantic life

Highly recommend listening.

For anyone who wants to improve how they communicate with others and enrich the quality of their relationships both personal and professional, l recommend that you purchase this audiobook. I also purchased the actual book and look forward to utilising further learning material via the science of people website. Thank you, Vanessa Van Edwards.

There is a science to people

Found the book to be full of lessons and very structured. It is hard to follow it as well as reading because of the various exercises throughout so I intend to go to the supplementary material and actually run through it to retain and use some what is taught. Overall, it's a good hack into the human mind.
