The Like Switch is packed with all the tools you need for turning strangers into friends, whether you are on a sales call, a first date, or a job interview. As a Special Agent for the FBI’s National Security Division’s Behavioral Analysis Program, Dr. Jack Schafer developed dynamic and breakthrough strategies for profiling terrorists and detecting deception. Now, Dr. Schafer has evolved his proven-on-the-battlefield tactics for the day-to-day, but no less critical battle of getting people to like you. In The Like Switch , he presents these techniques for how you can influence, attract, and win people over. Learn how to think and react like your favorite TV investigators from Criminal Minds or CSI as Dr. Schafer shows you how to improve your LQ (Likeability Quotient), “spot the lie” both in person and online, master nonverbal cues that influence how people perceive you, and turn up or turn down the intensity of a relationship. Dr. Schafer cracks the code on making great first impressions, building lasting relationships, and understanding others’ behavior to learn what they really think about you. With tips and techniques that hold the key to taking control of your communications, interactions, and relationships, The Like Switch shows you how to read others and get people to like you for a moment or a lifetime. Review: Discover How to Turn on The Like Switch - Have you ever wanted to get better at connecting with people? Specifically, what can you do if you want others to be drawn to you? You might think of some obvious ways, such as smiling or being authentic, but these are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to attracting people and winning them over. In the book, The Like Switch: An Ex-FBI Agent’s Guide to Influencing, Attracting, and Winning People Over, authors Jack Schafer and Marvin Karlins share practical strategies for getting an accurate read of people and positively influencing them. I have often said I try not to read too much into body language and focus more on what people are saying. It turns out, this is not a good strategy for understanding where people are coming from, as a large percentage of communication comes from almost universal non-verbal signals such as head tilts, eyebrow raises, and smiles. Who better to reveal these cues than an FBI agent trained in the skill of instantly reading a room and winning people over who are not naturally disposed toward trusting them? These methods have even been used effectively to encourage resistant informants to openly share their secrets. Fortunately, these principles are clearly presented in The Like Switch. They present a simple formula for Friendship that combines Frequency + Proximity + Duration + Intensity. If all this sounds too contrived, just consider the basic truth that people enjoy being around those who make them feel good about themselves. Actually, that’s not too far off from the Golden Rule of Jesus that says “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.” (Matthew 7:12, NLT) When you are genuinely interested in someone, the Golden Rule of Friendship inspires reciprocity. They, in turn, become more interested in you. In our high-tech digital culture, it can be even harder to read the signs of whether or not you are effectively connecting with someone. The authors devote some time to helping you understand how to read the signs of honesty through social media and other types of digital communication as well so you can avoid being the victim of the latest cyber-scam or catfishing attempt. Another helpful acronym explained in the book is the word LOVE, which stands for Listen, Observe, Vocalize, and Empathize. Simply put, this reminds us to engage in active listening through eye-contact and never interrupting (something I really have to work on), looking for those non-verbal cues, respond appropriately with what you say and help them to know that you understand where they are coming from. The Like Switch is especially helpful for anyone who wants to grow in their ability to develop relationships with others. It is interesting throughout with lots of real-world examples to illustrate the ideas they present. I was personally challenged to continually grow in these skills by becoming a better reader of those non-verbal signals and to be a better listener. I highly recommend this book if you also are ready to develop these relational skills. Review: Most helpful book I have ever read - I first heard Jake Shafer on a podcast and was impressed so I purchased this book. It’s the best book I ever read. Looking at some of the one-star reviews, I realized maybe some people are very familiar with techniques in this book so to them, it may not be worth it. Some of the things I read, I realized I have done before but not on purpose. Some of the things I just thought were so obvious that I wondered how it is I never realized it before. Other things I thought were so simple yet so brilliant. After reading the book I realized how different I would have handle people and situations in my past. I went to a lot of business meetings and conferences where I’d meet a lot of new people for the purpose of doing business and making business connections. If I were to do that again, I would walk in with confidence that I control the situation. I would be able to connect with anyone and everyone that I wanted to connect with. I also realized that my failure to make a lot of connections was my own fault. I used to think that it was the other person that was not giving me friend signals. Now I realized I was just a guilty as they were. Since reading this book, I have never, and will never have that awkward moment in a conversation again where neither person can think of anything to say thanks to a simple statement – So you… It is such a great feeling to walk in a place with a goal and using what I learned in this book to achieve that goal. One time I had to drop my car off on a Saturday for repairs on Monday. My goal was to get them to have my car ready as early on Monday as possible. That didn’t happen, instead they said they would fit me in now if that would be better for me. I had to get a shot at a pharmacy but they don’t start giving them out until 4:00 and I had a 4:15 appointment. I ended up in the area at 3:00 and really did not want to wait around. I used everything I learned in this book and I was out the door at 3:30. I have since purchased this book for my son’s and my niece. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #24,690 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #124 in Interpersonal Relations (Books) #538 in Success Self-Help #841 in Politics & Social Sciences (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,862 Reviews | ## Images ![The Like Switch: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Influencing, Attracting, and Winning People Over (The Like Switch Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sMtbZlP0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Discover How to Turn on The Like Switch *by C***S on November 5, 2017* Have you ever wanted to get better at connecting with people?
