Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People

Quick delivery and as advertised

I liked this book. The ideas are insightfull, easy to memorize and helpfull. Recommended to improve your social skills and be more aware about how you act in public.

Just started reading this. So far so good

Super useful information. I did find some sections hard to get through but the information is priceless. A lot taken from this book. Excellent content.

I was super excited to read this book after watching Vanessa’s Ted talk and finding out that she wrote a book. To be honest: I had high expectations and this book didn’t disappoint me at all! The structure I super easy to follow and I appreciate all the information and details you get from reading the book. It only took me a week to read it and I absolutely enjoyed it. Sometimes I stoped to think about the tips Vanessa gives and practice, write things down and so on. I did the personality matrix for me and a lot of friends, family and colleges. I actually make a little book to keep all the information. I learned a lot about myself and how to handle people. Additionally I do unterstand the people I know a lot better because of understanding how they ‘work’ and what’s important to them. The only down part of this book is the quality of the pictures which isn’t too great. In my opinion the structure of the paper plays a big part in this. This doesn’t take away the overall quality but it makes it hard to see some of the details in for example the face expressions. If you really want to learn about how to handle people read this book. I can highly recommend it!

This books teaches you, how to behave in a social situations. And how to make a good and everlasting expression on other, very useful book for day to day life. Understanding and following the principle of this book will help you improve the personal and professional relationship with other people. This book is written more like a semester book, gives practical social theory like Franklin effects, the big 5 theory etc. Worth the money and time.

I highly recommend this for anyone who wants stronger connections with people. Vanessa has a very easy to read and understand style and the book is full of exercises and online activities to practice what you read. There are a ton of insights into human behaviour and research-backed best practices that anyone can follow. A great read!

I enjoyed so much reading this book from Vanessa and getting the insights about people science. Serious with fun, and practical. Looking forward to getting the next one: Cues!
