Simon & Schuster The Like Switch: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Influencing, Attracting, and Winning People Over

I bought this book because my job requires me to community and understand people in a non verbal way. The book highlights a lot of clear concepts and examples that I find interesting and easy to implement. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to make friends and business relationships lasting

I first heard Jake Shafer on a podcast and was impressed so I purchased this book. It’s the best book I ever read. Looking at some of the one-star reviews, I realized maybe some people are very familiar with techniques in this book so to them, it may not be worth it.Some of the things I read, I realized I have done before but not on purpose. Some of the things I just thought were so obvious that I wondered how it is I never realized it before. Other things I thought were so simple yet so brilliant.After reading the book I realized how different I would have handle people and situations in my past. I went to a lot of business meetings and conferences where I’d meet a lot of new people for the purpose of doing business and making business connections. If I were to do that again, I would walk in with confidence that I control the situation. I would be able to connect with anyone and everyone that I wanted to connect with. I also realized that my failure to make a lot of connections was my own fault. I used to think that it was the other person that was not giving me friend signals. Now I realized I was just a guilty as they were.Since reading this book, I have never, and will never have that awkward moment in a conversation again where neither person can think of anything to say thanks to a simple statement – So you…It is such a great feeling to walk in a place with a goal and using what I learned in this book to achieve that goal. One time I had to drop my car off on a Saturday for repairs on Monday. My goal was to get them to have my car ready as early on Monday as possible. That didn’t happen, instead they said they would fit me in now if that would be better for me.I had to get a shot at a pharmacy but they don’t start giving them out until 4:00 and I had a 4:15 appointment. I ended up in the area at 3:00 and really did not want to wait around. I used everything I learned in this book and I was out the door at 3:30.I have since purchased this book for my son’s and my niece.

I've just started but there are several useful insights already. Would highly recommend for people who wonder why others don't approach them or not notice them walk into a room. Instead of some courses of how to talk confidently, or how to own the space (that didn't appeared useful for me) I would reco to start from reading this book.
