THE LIKE SWITCH

A former FBI Special Agent specializing in behavior analysis and recruiting spies presents his proven strategies on how to instantly read people and influence how they perceive you.

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. In his current role as a professor of psychology, Dr. Schafer has evolved his proved-on-the-battlefield tactics for the more domestic, but no less critical battle of getting people to like you.

The same powerful techniques that the author used to recruit people to betray their country can be used to get people to like you for a moment or a lifetime. Dr. Schafer explores the underlying meanings of human body language and behavior, demonstrating what to look for and what to do in any given situation. This book will improve your "LQ" (Likeability Quotient) and as well as helping you “spot the lie,” i.e. know if you can trust someone, in person or online.

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.
