Publisher's summary

Do you want psychologically proven ways to attract the opposite sex, flirt better, and create chemistry? Or to take advantage of how we're biologically wired to engineer love? How can you use the science of attraction to cut through the games to date and love better?

Everyone has an opinion on attraction, dating, and relationships - but their opinions are usually based on a sample size of one, themselves. Utilizing studies both new and classic helps us reach a deeper understanding of ourselves and others - why we like who we like and what to do about it. The Science of Attraction is part textbook, with peer-received research, and part advice manual, with thorough analysis and takeaways to create better relationships. If you want to understand people better, from first dates to close friends, this book has the scientific insight to reach epiphanies. What about attraction will you learn?

Here's a peek at some of the chapters:

1. The Four-Step Sequence to Flirting, Sex, and Love

2. How to Create Electric Touch

4. The Sexiness of Unavailability

5. Five Modes of Effective Flirting. Interested in More?

10. Freud's Saving Grace

12. "Let's Just Be Friends."

14. What's Kink Got to Do With It?

15. The Ugly Truth of Beauty

Attraction isn't just about romance and dating - it's how you relate to everyone in your life. Learning the science of attraction opens your eyes to how people think, and if you know how someone thinks...you're in. Of course, this knowledge will help you understand the object of your affection, whether married or still hunting/dating, to create more positivity and occasionally make you a mind reader. It's powerful knowledge to have and internalize.

Sensible, Well Researched, & Analytical in Nature

This book is short enough that you won't get bored with it. However, it was definitely well researched and had a slightly academic vibe that really appealed to my inner scientist. I like understanding why and how, which the author attempted to do by referencing some actual research on the subject. Additionally, he made sense of what often seems like complex social dynamics in logical and practical ways. I definitely recommend this book, and I hope he follows it up with one that further explains the human social experience.

really helpful

loved it will read multiple times..went and brought other books that were written by Mr king

This won't help you pick up chicks

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Don't thin so, I think this book is for people who are in relationships, the long term relationships.
Even though there were some good tips in the book, the overall benefit was not as much as I expect it.

Would you recommend The Science of Attraction to your friends? Why or why not?

Naah

Have you listened to any of Alan Taylor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The reader was good and clear

Wished it was more scientific

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would divide this book into two parts: flirtation tactics and engineering of relationships.

Conclusion of the first part is - "It depends". The fact that "it depends" is the reason why people read books to understand and get answers rather than just ask correct questions.

Second part was pretty good. I like bravery of the author not to follow traditional political correctness, when the truth is against it. It felt much better researched with referencing some experiments and giving good explanations.

Overall I would recommend to a friend, if main goal is to understand relationships rather than "picking up hot girl".

Any additional comments?

After listening this, still in search for the better book about this subject.
