Publisher's Summary

A global security expert draws on psychological insights to help you master the art of social engineering - human hacking. Make friends, influence people, and leave them feeling better for having met you by being more empathetic, generous, and kind. 

Eroding social conventions, technology, and rapid economic change are making human beings more stressed and socially awkward and isolated than ever. We live in our own bubbles, reluctant to connect, and feeling increasingly powerless, insecure, and apprehensive when communicating with others.

A pioneer in the field of social engineering and a master hacker, Christopher Hadnagy specializes in understanding how malicious attackers exploit principles of human communication to access information and resources through manipulation and deceit. Now, he shows you how to use social engineering as a force for good - to help you regain your confidence and control. Human Hacking provides tools that will help you establish rapport with strangers, use body language and verbal cues to your advantage, steer conversations and influence other’s decisions, and protect yourself from manipulators. Ultimately, you’ll become far more self-aware about how you’re presenting yourself - and able to use it to improve your life.

Hadnagy includes lessons and interactive "missions" - exercises spread throughout the book to help you learn the skills, practice them, and master them. With Human Hacking, you’ll soon be winning friends, influencing people, and achieving your goals. 

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Something about this book...

Is it the excessive sales pitch (but I have already purchased it)? Is it the excessive personal stories? Is it the egotism that runs through the book?

A very dry read. I felt I had to fight with myself to not turn this off in order to give it a chance. Sorry author!

Armature Cons, and self embellishment

I do not know who would fall for this person's tricks. This book is not recommended.

The book is not on how to 'Win Friends and Influence People" Its about how an amateur tries to gain entry into businesses with nieve cons.
I can not believe people fall for these tactics. Our group certainly would not and they try regularly, mainly electronic.

If you want to achieve those goals of "Winning Friends and Influencing People", the biggest selling book on the market is: How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age By Dale Carnegie & Associates. which is highly recommended.
