"Mostly Fluff, Not Useless" according to Mark McIntosh. This is neither a content dense book nor is it an outstanding book. I am very skeptical when nearly every review is five stars, even though they say Verified Purchase. That isn't statistically possible with this book for objective people to come to that conclusion. I am only commenting because I buy books based on the reviews and these reviews are very out of . Great book Captivate makes for a quick yet informative read. Each chapter is devoted to a social hack that I didn’t realize I needed until reading it. It’s subtitled “the science of succeeding with people” which hits it right on the mark as each chapter reveals a story as to why the skill is important followed by the science behind why it will act. "Awesome!" according to Sandra. This book has so much practical information, with illustrations that emphasize the point the author is making. I am shy and networking is usually a terrible experience for me. After reading this book I have a solid list of steps to follow when in an social situation. Knowing what to do takes so much of the stress away. Highly recommend.
