Publisher's Summary
From a former FBI Special Agent specializing in behavior analysis and recruiting spies comes a handbook filled with his proven strategies on how to instantly read people and influence how they perceive you, so you can easily turn on the like switch.
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. As a Special Agent for the FBI's National Security Division's Behavioral Analysis Program, Dr. Jack Schafer developed dynamic and breakthrough strategies for profiling terrorists and detecting deception. Now, Dr. Schafer has evolved his proven-on-the-battlefield tactics for the day-to-day, but no less critical battle of getting people to like you.
In The Like Switch, he presents these techniques for how you can influence, attract, and win people over. Learn how to think and react like your favorite TV investigators from Criminal Minds or CSI as Dr. Schafer shows you how to improve your LQ (Likeability Quotient), "spot the lie" both in person and online, master nonverbal cues that influence how people perceive you, and turn up or turn down the intensity of a relationship.
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

excellent listen.
This book is as informative as it is entertaining. It had changed the way i go about my interactions with people before i had eve finished the 2nd chapter! and by the time it was finished i still wanted to hear more.
The chapter on diffusing anger and the anger cycle I found to be a particularly intriguing idea and can help so many get themselves out of prickly situations.

Great read learnt a LOT for immediate results
I couldn't understand why people love my husband instantly. They feel calm and relaxed and he makes them feel at ease. I have changed and can get immediate results but using these tips makes it soooo much easier. And it's so simple. It works on many levels. What I didn't realise is that my face was always dead pan with no 'friend' signals. Now I do friend signals and it is the like switch

I wonder why he states FBI when we all know these are skills that the CIA learns and or perfected. there definitely is some motive there.

Learn how to influence
If you could sum up The Like Switch in three words, what would they be?
Learn to INFLUENCE and READ OTHERS
What other book might you compare The Like Switch to, and why?
I read Robert Cialdini's "Influence" prior and this book was the perfect follow on from it
What does George Newbern bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Expression and tone.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I've been using the concept of "Friend" or "Foe" signs and have noticed that people are much more responsive to me (and vice versa). I've also noticed body language a lot more- I feel like I've been given keys to the human mind.
Any additional comments?
Another book that should be required reading.

Very informative!
After listening to this information and how it is presented has given me more insight into how we as people are picking up on unconscious gestures and body language, that are so Subtle we are not aware of it unless we are made aware and practice being in the moment!

Great book
Easy to digest, and the examples are practical and realistic, I can comfortably suggest this to anyone. (This is a good one to read/listen after the books Not nice and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck books)

Easy Concepts and Good Stories
The book highlights all the tricks that the author used throughout his life in order to win people over. He explained the concepts and told stories about how he used the concepts in different situations such as the household, shopping, spying, and dating. This made the book very easy to understand and gave a good glimpse on how his concepts would work in the real world.
He focuses on the subconscious reactions that humans do and how we can catch them and conversational tricks in order to control the conversation and decide what to do next. The more information we have about a person the better the chances of winning them over.
