Good tips

I feel that this book provided good tips for personal developing, how to interact with others and provides tips on evaluating some of the things that we do unconsciously that may others appear unlivable.

Good reminders

You can find every one of these concepts throughout other books, but it's nice to have them all neatly organized in a list like this, and in the context of likability. The chapters are short, sweet, and to the point, which is great. It's worth the listen.

Boring

It was boring. There was nothing new presented. The subjects of his research were predictable and lacked diversity. A waste of time.

Very detailed and informative.

I personally enjoyed the topics touched and examples given to let me understand more how to implement what I learned when meeting people.

However I felt the books was somewhat short and all though the topics touched were very well explained I felt that emptiness as if I just needed a bit more to provide the 5-stars.

I would definitely recommend this book to friends and family.

Very good!

I especially liked how information was given and then the research was provided that backed up in the statement or strategy.
