About this listen
From a former FBI Special Agent specializing in behavior analysis and recruiting spies comes a handbook filled with his proven strategies on how to instantly read people and influence how they perceive you, so you can easily turn on the like switch.
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Quite worthwile.
No groundbreaking news, but a concise and well delivered verbalisation of what probably many of us have as intuition plus some additional impulses. No regrets.

Standard psychology
I was recommended this book by someone who found it hugely useful, they used the techniques and found improvement in their relationships. Having read the book myself I found it to be standard psychology in the most part. If you already have a knowledge of human communication techniques and psychology you won't gain much by reading this but it is a good reminder.

Enjoyable, useful, helpful
Well paced narration helps share the excellent content. The ideas in this book are useful and interesting. I've encountered some of them before, but would have to say that in this work they are shared effectively, rendering the ideas extremely 'user-friendly'. If you are looking to enhance your social interractions this is well worth a listen.

Good narrator but ..
I think the narrator was good and it was entertaining, I finished it, but the positive suggestions are the same as Dale Carnegie's how to win friends and influence people. That book is far less cynical and underhand. There are some techniques' presented in this book that seem extremely manipulative and I wouldn't be comfortable with myself adopting the strategies, even if there was something I wanted at stake.
But I guess it's another reminder to listen more than I talk. Another reminder to make compliment people when they deserve it.
I'm left feeling that I don't want to be this strategic getting people to like me. If they do well and good if not, I still don't want to be so ''cunning''. I've realised, I'd rather be a decent human being whether the person can offer me an upgrade or help me or whether they need my help. I'm not trying to trick anybody in to selling me their secrets or selling me a car for no profit.

Dale Carnegie... Reborn.
I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. If Mr. Dale Carnegie was alive he would be so proud of Dr. Schafer. This audiobook reminded me of the classic book 'How To Win Friends and Influence People'. It's one of those resources which you need to really dive into and apply in your life, because knowledge without action is void. I hope you get to enjoy the audiobook as much as I did. God bless you.

A fantastic insight on basic psychology.
It annoys me when people give this book bad reviews because it isn’t “advanced” enough. How does that even warrant a bad review? Absolute cretins.
Greatness starts by mastering the basics.

An updated review of the Carnegie's concepts
Good book for beginners in human dynamics but falls short if you are familiar with this sort of materials. it's an updated review of the Dale Carnegie's theories.
