"A great book with a novel idea. Its as quick of a read as 90 minutes. Everyone should read it just to learn about how people really interpret data"
— Jacob (4 out of 5 stars)
" Not really worth much of a read. I gave it a quick skim, reading only the parts that seemed more useful. Some of it seemed like a joke, but a few parts provided a few main points sort of worth glancing at. "
— Landon, 2/8/2014" Specific information and techniques that might be more helpful to people who approach interactions more deliberately than I do, and who wish to control people's reactions to and opinions of them. "
— Sally, 1/26/2014" Just about as cheesy in some senses as it sounds, but at the same time, it has some legitimately useful and surprising insights. "
— Frank, 1/25/2014" Complete and utter nonsense. "
— Judy, 1/25/2014" Probably a 2.5. Parts of it were fine and parts of it (most?) was strange (his idea of rapport) or confusing (his definitions of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic). Yeah, yeah, I know I need all the help I can get, but whatever-I know how to smile, have nice attitude, and try and that was the main helpful concept that I received from this book. "
— Rachel, 1/22/2014" This book really helps out one's communication skills, and it also helps one look back at their life and reflect. "
— Gina, 1/19/2014" I agree with the many reviews already posted. This is an okay book and the basics of making a good first impression. Worth a listen or a read but would recommend borrowing it from the library rather than purchasing it. "
— Gil, 12/19/2013" Quick little read, but filled with pretty good info on how to make that great first impression, quickly. How to "read" people, etc. "
— Rhonda, 12/1/2013" Very useful in engaging students. I like the strategies for appearing open and inviting. "
— Stacy, 11/19/2013" A great reminder for all salespeople. "
— Jean, 5/24/2013" it's a very shallow NLP image, didn't really enjoy it but was curious to finish it though "
— Sarah, 4/9/2013" eye contact...i just dont do it right. too much too little oh boy. this book did not help at all. "
— Mumblelard, 3/21/2013" A good book to reinforce some good habits. "
— Michael, 10/13/2012" Great book with NLP "
— Mwylie, 5/15/2012" Contains plenty of useful tips, but will take most people more than 90 seconds to read. "
— Odd, 2/17/2012" Lot's of good info in this one. "
— Tom, 8/28/2011" Not really worth much of a read. I gave it a quick skim, reading only the parts that seemed more useful. Some of it seemed like a joke, but a few parts provided a few main points sort of worth glancing at. "
— Landon, 4/24/2011" Not so much a book on making people like you as it is a reminder and a method to like other people and make them feel comfortable and important. "
— Brian, 12/22/2009" A great reminder for all salespeople. "
— Jean, 12/10/2009" Very interesting book on how to improve your communication and rapport with other. The author takes a look at the different ways we communicate: visual, auditory, and or kinesthetic and how to better communicate with those specific types. "
— Dan, 8/13/2009" Pretty good information. A quick read. Definitely some techniques I will keep in mind while trying to find a job. "
— Jillian, 7/26/2009" I loved how this book gave a simple but amazing insight to how everyone connects to each other. It makes you look at the world differently. "
— Jennifer, 4/26/2009" Work recommended this book for me (actually all of us, not just me). I am leaning in, synchronizing my behavior and voice, observing, then using your sensory preference, Voila. How do you like me now? "
