Regardless of what you want to accomplish, from growing your business, creating a great company culture, championing a social cause, or affecting your habits, you can’t do it alone. The people around you define your success (whatever that means for you) and they have the potential to change the course of your life.

That’s what You’re Invited is about: The most universal strategy for success is creating meaningful connections with those who can impact you, your life, and the things you care about. But how do you make those connections and build trust quickly? What do you do if you’re introverted or hate networking?

Behavioral scientist Jon Levy had no money, reputation or status, but was able to convince groups of Nobel Laureates, Olympians, celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, and even an occasional princess to not only give him advice, but cook him dinner, wash his dishes, sweep his floors, and then thank him for the experience. The goal of his gatherings, much like this book, was not networking, but to build meaningful and lasting relationships.

This private community based around the dinner experience became known as “The Influencers”, named for the member’s success and industry influence. Since its inception more than a decade ago, The Influencers has grown into the largest private group of its kind worldwide, with a thriving community both in person and through digital experiences.

In You’re Invited, Levy guides readers through the art and science of creating deep and meaningful connections with anyone, regardless of their stature or celebrity, and demonstrates how we develop influence, gain trust, and build community so that we can impact our communities and achieve what’s important to us.

Incredibly relevant to anyone at any point in life

John shares wisdom, insight and research in an effortless manner connecting the reader and leaving them inspired.

Pretty good

Had to filter thru all the A list names dropped. Good stuff aside from the needless bragging

Worth reading…

Especially if you are looking to build connection and community with other people around anything!

Nothing particularly novel

This book is written like many popular self improvement books (Grant, Ferris, etc.) It was a combination of story telling with n=1 and generalizing using pop science that wasn't that interesting.

great insight

Similar style to Malcolm gladwell. if you like his books you'd find this interesting. But this book has really good insight in to why we trust someone.
