The Like Switch is packed with all the tools you need for turning strangers into friends, whether you are on a sales call, a first date, or a job interview.

Dr. Schafer cracks the code on making great first impressions, building lasting relationships, and understanding others' behavior to learn what they really think about you. With tips and techniques that hold the key to taking control of your communications, interactions, and relationships, The Like Switch shows you how to read others and get people to like you for a moment or a lifetime.

Good book but no included pdf was really annoying

They should include the accompanying pdf because your really lost without it. Audible please fix this problem. Without the pdf it's difficult to follow along

just buy it

This is an xceptional companion to how to win friends and influence people by Carnegie

very valuable

I liked it. it could be shorter. the end of the book was too stretched out. but the tips the author gives are very valuable. I recommend!

Excellent, entertaining, and Insightful

My only complaint would be a lack of greater detail that could put the techniques described into practical application. Albeit, such detail would be better left to a more prescriptive and droll book. Nonetheless, I've successfully used the techniques described with surprisingly positive reception. I look forward to reading it again in the future.

Outstanding! Insightful!

I don't recognized the narrator's voice. I enjoyed his performance. He spoke naturally and was easy to listen to. "Easy on the ears."

I've listened to it a couple of times. I'll listen to it again. Each time I learn something new.

Good Info

Some of it I had heard before, but I liked that there were examples associated here. Useful info. Will require patience though.

Good Book with extent of exageration

The author has introduced and expanded on a number of topics useful in a day to day life. However, each chapter or section contain an up beat expectations promising superior results which might not be true all the time.

Value for money

This book is a complete value for money. There are lots of informative techniques for effective communication.
