Patrick King is a Social Interaction Specialist, in other words, a dating, online dating, image, and communication and social skills coach based in San Francisco, California, and has been featured on numerous national publications such as Inc.com. He’s also a #1 Amazon best-selling dating and relationships author with the most popular online dating book on the market, and writes frequently on dating, love, sex, and relationships.
He focuses on using his emotional intelligence and understanding of human interaction to break down emotional barriers, instill confidence, and equip people with the tools they need for success. No pickup artistry and no gimmicks, simply a thorough mastery of human psychology delivered with a dose of real talk, perfected and honed through three years of law school.
Based on the fact that Patrick King says "We have to counter our own innate tendency to talk all the time," I'm guessing he has never experienced debilitating social anxiety, the kind that causes your high school classmates to request to not be partnered with you for projects because they think you're mute.
I disagree with being manipulative (like thanking someone for being honest when you think they aren't being completely honest), and I disagree that everything a person wears is trying to communicate something (I have blue hair because I enjoy it myself, but I wish other people wouldn't look at it, because it's for me; I'm not trying to communicate anything with my hair color). But this book still has a ton of good advice for being observant and noticing people.
