Charisma isn’t an innate gift or something you’re born with. It can be learned through intentional practice. You just need to know how.

As a human behaviour scientist, Vanessa Van Edwards studies the hidden forces that drive us in her research lab, Science of People, and in this book she shares her practical, science-based strategies and shortcuts to help you take control of any social situation.
  • Do you make a good first impression? Or is ‘the triple threat’ – hidden hands, avoidant gaze, and closed posture – making people dislike you?
  • Are you noticing non-verbal cues and micro-expressions? Can you speed-read the subtle feedback signs that reveal what people are really thinking?
  • “How are you?” at small talk? Replace boring openers with more specific ones will make your conversations more memorable.
With ready-to-use scripts to try out and body language hacks that deliver immediate wins, Captivate unlocks the hidden science of human connection so you can forge more meaningful relationships in your life and at work.

Full of helpful tips, actionable anecdotes and fascinating research, Captivate is the consummate wingman (or woman) - a book you'll hear whispering in your ears, giving you social superpowers
