It’s All About Rapport…
If you’re thinking of picking up this book (and I recommend it), let me first say that the audio version is a better choice - that’s if you like audio books. The author reads in an engaging conversational style - the sharing of information rather than the reading of a text book. And, let’s also mention his charming English accent.
We only get one chance to make a first impression. The author tells us we have only 90 seconds to make an impressive first impression - to be remembered. Why would that matter? Because the type and quality of the connection we have with others, affects our health, happiness, financial worth, and success. Whether that’s through close interpersonal relationships with family and partners, business relationships or casual acquaintances and encounters. How we connect, or don’t, with others affects every area of our lives.
In How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less
The book is appealing in the way it paints a picture (visual) of what a relaxed (kinesthetic) conversation sounds (auditory) like - whether with strangers or those you know. To sum this up, if you want to be comfortable meeting new people, build your conversation skills, or be a better listener, you’ll want to read this book…or listen. This is by far, the most comprehensive and attention-grabbing book I’ve read on the subject. I’ll be listening to this book often!
