Publisher's summary

Why does socializing appear effortless for some and laborious for others?

While literacy is taken for granted in modern society, there’s another essential aspect of communication that is often overlooked: social intelligence. Without it, our personal and professional relationships suffer shallowness and often fizzle out.

Networking, romance, and friendships are all incredibly challenging without a healthy level of social awareness. Unlike learning to read, however, many of us don’t become socially “literate” until far later in life; and even then, the journey towards true social intelligence is usually characterized by trial and error.

In this book, you will learn:

  • Why understanding yourself first is the key to understanding others
  • How to learn and practice new emotional intelligence skills
  • How to hone finely attuned, receptive, and effective communication skills
  • Conflict resolution skills that will ensure everyone feels heard and accepted
  • How to step into others’ shoes and meaningfully accept their perspectives
  • Why the important people in your life deserve open appreciation
  • And more!

Relationships with colleagues, family, and partners are at the core of everything we do. By investing in your social intelligence, you’re investing in a more meaningful life as a whole. Start today!

John Ward is a professor, motivational speaker and author, and holds two degrees in psychology and neuroscience. He has devoted his life to helping people become their best selves both in the classroom and in countless books.

Waoooo.

This book is not a self-help book for people who want to make friends. It is a book that reiterates the basic tenants of leadership in a work environment. Point being, don’t let the kitsch title keep you from giving this book a chance, there is good information here.

This is especially well

This author really understands how society works and how our brains work in society. Without understanding of how our minds work we often times flounder with what to say and do. This book helps us understand why we do what we do and what the best ways of communicating are in social situations.

Helpful book.

It definitely opened up my eyes to the science of mannerism and the communication also being expressed by the subconscious body language.
