About this listen
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

How to read the Single-image Stereogram of People
This is the how to, of reading people, who are a bit like those jumbled pictures that leap out at you once you know how to focus your eyes. Everybody sees the same picture, but only through practice, perseverance or in this case clear precise instruction can you see the 3D image leap out at you. Hi Five to Vanessa and Team. :)

Practical and relevant
There aren't many books that I have enjoyed as much as this one! I have became very ciriouse to practice outlined tools and see results for myself. It is intriguing to see how those tools work and people do tend to remeber you more.

Wonderful listen!
Learnt so much, incredibly entertaining and human! I love it when authors read their own work (feels a little more authentic to me haha) - Vanessa Van Edwards did a fantastic job, such an easy and compelling listen.
