edition.
Product Description
Meet new people and converse with confidence
Be credible and charismatic in every social and business situation
Make friends and important contacts wherever you go
Command the respect of everyone you meet
You know who they are. They're the people who, regardless of money, education, looks, or personality, make an impression wherever they go. They are master communicators, and everyone enjoys talking to them. How to Instantly Connect with Anyone shows you how to be one of those lucky few.
Communication guru Leil Lowndes arms you with ninety-six all-new, cutting edge, research-based communications techniques for success in life, love, and business. You will smash the invisible glass ceiling that keeps many people down both personally and professionally. Your new weapon is a neurologically and psychologically sound concept called “Emotional Prediction,” or E.P. Leil Lowndes explains the power of EP and shows you how to harness it through deceptively simple methods to reach greater success in all of your relationships.
An enhanced ebook is now available with 11 demonstration video clips, including 5 never-before-published techniques! Select the Kindle Edition with Audio/Video from the available formats.

Format:Paperback
Is it manipulative to speak to others in a way you know will please them? Purists of the to-thine-own-self-be-true school may think so, but the people on the receiving end of your courtesy, deference and regard will not. Communications consultant Leil Lowndes has assembled 96 techniques you can use to make others feel good about you - often by making them feel good about themselves. These techniques work best, of course, when applied with sincerity and not phony zeal. Your purpose is not to flatter people, but to engender their positive regard. Scheming? Calculating? That's up to you to decide. Although you may not choose to follow Lowndes' sometimes boundary-testing advice to the letter, getAbstract recommends her fun book to anyone who needs a boost in getting along well with others. So unless you are already a bon vivant - or, conversely, a hermit - this book is for you.

If like me you suffer from crushing bouts of self doubt every time you find yourself in a new social group, forced to mingle with people you don't know and try to produce witty repartee, then welcome to the future my tragic little soul mate. This lexicon of linguistic alliteration has literally transformed my life. I now attend parties almost every week and have started to gatecrash dull business seminars just to practice my new found art and to keep my cornucopia of confidence in constant good order. If I had a minor criticism it would be with the Author's own lack of confidence to go for the big 100 great ideas. I mean 96... what's that all about? Although it is at least a step in the right direction after "How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks For Big Success In Relationships". Another couple of weeks of hardcore networking and I'll be ready for phase II, "Complaining face to face"... yikes!!

Compared to How to Talk to Anyone
29 April 2010
Format:Paperback
This book is like a continuation to Leil Lowndes' How to Talk to Anyone. You should read that book first since it covers the basics, before reading this one.
The techniques referred to in this book are a bit more "advanced," you could say, and they generally apply to various scenarios one could be faced with, and there are no shortage of examples especially in the professional environment.
EP, or emotional prediction, is an essential concept covered in this book that has shaped my behavior and attitude during social interactions.
Overall, a great read and highly recommended.

On the dumb side...
18 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I did not find this interesting at all.
"Little tricks" include:
- When meeting someone new, press their pulse.
- Don't pat when you hug.
- Hover around to see where they sit first.
- Give people a schtick name.
- Speak s-l-o-w-l-y for nonnative speakers.
- Don't speak of your "haves" with "have-nots".
- Wave to imaginary friends.
If this sound interesting to you, by all means read this book!

Not a book about connection -more about impressing and avoiding uncomfortable social situations
26 Nov 2010
Format:Audio CD
The book is definetely worth to read, even if you might choose not to use some more weird and dishonest tricks. Some of them are great though like if the person asks you the same question again in the same conversation, author suggests using different wording for your answer.
That said, this book is not so much about connecting as I expected it to be from the title. It is more about some tricks to impress others and avoid uncomfortable situations and graciously helping others to do the same. I would call it the book of social etiquette.
