Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People

Vanessa Van Edwards, author of the bestseller “The Science of Communicating,” explains how to achieve success in business and career, close profitable deals, and influence people using body language, facial expressions, gestures, and communication itself.

You’ll learn what to do if you get interrupted during meetings, if you feel awkward during public speaking, or if it seems that people aren’t listening to your opinion.

“You don’t have to be loud to be heard,” the author writes. By using signals you send to others through facial expressions, voice, and gestures, you can easily gain someone’s favor and earn their respect.

After reading this book, you will learn:

what body language is and how to master it;

what vocal techniques help you sound more confident in video calls and on the phone;

how to awaken trust and interest in a resume, branding materials, and email correspondence;

what your clothes and photos on social media convey to others;

...and much more.

Practical recommendations from the book will help you speak with greater confidence, create the right impression, and improve relationships with other people in any type of communication—whether it’s a presentation for investors, a job interview, or a difficult conversation with a colleague. The book became a bestseller according to the Wall Street Journal.
