About this listen
Do you want to learn how to appeal to people, be happier, healthier, and free? How to Make People Do What You Want will get you started on that wonderful path.
Modern life distracts us from what's really important, causing us to forget who we really are.
None of us were born with fears, depression, or nervousness. Something in our lives along the line pushes us into a downward spiral, careening into problems left and right. The solutions to these problems may be staring us straight in the face, but unless we try, we'll never figure it out and reach our full potential. For some, dealing with people can be very stressful, but it doesn't have to be!
The hangups and baggage that weigh us down need to be set aside, we need to become free. Many kind, caring, and intelligent people repel potential friends, employers, and even future spouses because they're not socially perceptive, they don't understand how to attract friends, and they don't understand what impression their words, actions, and behaviors may give to others.
This skill is vital to learn because not one of us is an island, we can try to live by ourselves, but we make life so much more rich, easy, joyous, simple, and relaxed when we work together with friends to reach a common goal.
Life doesn't have to be so difficult, the repetitive, boring, stressful, and unpleasant life you probably live is not a necessity—it's up to you, it's your choice. Choose wisely. Doing and learning new things will inherently require us to make changes, big changes, and this will feel uncomfortable. Our "comfort zones" lock us into a cage, a self-made prison that limits us and keeps us away from the unknown. Adventure and pure joy start when we step out of our comfort zones, we embrace the great unknown, and we follow our deepest dreams.
You won't want to do this alone.
The politically, spiritually, culturally, and socially divided and increasingly polarized world we live in can cause us to reject good friends because they don't feel the same way as us. In the hard times that are soon to come, we will have no option but to unite with our neighbors to help each other and to survive—why wait till then? Why not build a community now?
This audiobook will help you:
- Overcome low self-esteem or too much self-confidence in order to live without stress, fear, nervousness, and dissatisfaction.
- Make a good first impression, help people understand you, convince them of your advice, and understand the subtle cues that can reveal to you what they're thinking.
- Learn empathy and how to do more than just feel for your friends, but actually feel with them.
Be a joy to be around, a universally attractive person, be the kind of person everybody wants to be friends with.
Understand how others think and how you yourself think so that you can grasp why people do the things they do and how it can benefit you and them.

Story
Ditch your teen anxieties to become the best version of yourself and face the future with confidence and excitement! It’s hard to be a teenager. You’re expected to act like an adult, but you’re still at the mercy of parents and teachers who treat you like a child. You feel pressured to live up to the label that others have given you, when in your heart you know that’s not really who you are. So many other things make your teen years painful–falling in love and not being loved back, feeling you’re not good enough, being awkward when what you really want is to be the coolest kid in the room….

Story
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.

I drifted off into the deepest nap and woke up just in time for the conclusion. Outstanding waste of one credit if I wanted to learn something, but spectacular lullaby for a weary traveler.
