How about step by step, methodical, literally foolproof approaches to just make people want you around more?

JUST OKAY

ByDorothy McCabeon August 11, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Hmmm-m-m. Hate to be a dissenter here, but I really didn't learn much from this book. I bought it based on all the Five Star Rave Reviews; I depend a great deal on those reviews, But really, does anyone not know basic friendship skills like "Be optimistic and positive," and "Look for common interests"? Perhaps there are readers who would gain from reading the Business Leadership chapters, which I wasn't that interested in. In that case it might be worth the 99 cents I paid for it on Kindle. If it was available in paperback I would have returned it.

An example would be where the author says that the pace-setting leader works best if you’re dealing with someone who is already

ByManiakon September 26, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The book is a quick read. It seems a bit abstract and at times contradicts itself. An example would be where the author says that the pace-setting leader works best if you’re dealing with someone who is already motivated. In the same paragraph, it states that this pace-setting method works with people who need motivation. The irony lays in a later chapter where in the author warns the reader not to be contradictory or else credibility will be destroyed.

The book does not show you how to master charm, wit, or humor like the full title suggests.

In the end, he’s summarized 16 interesting points and 16 different citations to those points. In that sense if you're completely new to the topic, it doesn't hurt to pick up this book.

Great content and the right amount of science!

ByVBC Bookwormon August 24, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The premise of the book is pretty fascinating first of all so I think the author deserves a lot of credit for finding all of these studies, which must have taken a long time. He then reduces each study to a couple of major points that we can use in daily life, and I think anything else would be too complex and ultimately useless - If you wanted more, you should just the study yourself! It was a good amount of detail and insight for me.

I learned a lot from each study and definitely recommend this book!

No science here.

Byclarkinskion February 10, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I don't understand the attraction to this book. Basic proofreading was non-existent. If the paragraph separations had been consolidated into a normal format this small book would have ended up as a pamphlet. The content was commonsense at its best but mostly uninformative.

Enjoyable and Interesting Read!

ByTimothy C.on September 11, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Highly enjoyable and legitimate science here. I liked the approach King had to breaking down the studies and then educating the reader on the lessons to be learned. It's not heavy reading, but if I wanted that I would read the studies themselves. I was far more interested in King's analysis, as he seems to be a pretty well-known social skills coach. Anyway I learned a lot and came away with more knowledge about likability! So mission accomplished.

Some good suggestions

ByDaniel J. Floodon December 15, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I like that this book has very little fluff, and provides practical tips in each chapter. The suggestions that the author makes might seem like common sense to practical every day situations, so it helps for reinforcement to cite the scientific research that backs them. I especially liked the information about different types of leadership styles.
