Do you seem to fade from people’s memory as soon as the conversation ends? Banish those feelings of rejection and dejection. Principles of Likability investigates the aspect of human nature that affects us the most - what makes us drawn to someone without our even realizing it?

Not cliche at all!

To say this book was eye opening is an understatement. The author provided meaningful insight into the topic and more importantly, examples of how to about making a good first impression. I appreciate that he did not merely indicate the mistakes that people often make but went on to provide solutions that can be put into practice. This book is not cliche. It does not beat around the bush and offers the kind of advice that will make you memorable.

Principles of being liked

I have many of your books on people relationship. They are so easy to read and straight to the point. I only wish the books were larger. I agree on chapter 9. We need to add value to ourselves to boost on being captivating. I've been doing it for 3 years and I have to say I find it easier to discuss and even debate on certain topics.

Very clear principles with good application examples. As a standalone, this was a bit expensive for the number of pages, and maybe too light of a read. You would probably get more value from these books if you purchased the book bundle and read all of them. Some of the books in the bundle looked pretty identical (same concept but changing the words around for the title) which is why i bought this as a singular book. I didnt really learn any new concepts but it was a good refresher.
