As a human behaviour investigator, Vanessa Van Edwards studies the hidden forces that drive our behaviour patterns in her lab - and she\'s cracked the code. In Captivate she shares a wealth of shortcuts, systems and behaviour hacks derived from her research, to help you take charge of interactions at work and at home.

You\'ll learn how to execute a social game plan to navigate any social situation; how to speed-read faces for 7 universal \'micro-expressions\' that can be used to predict people\'s emotions; and much more besides.

When you understand the laws of human behaviour you can get along with anyone. With Vanessa\'s help, you will never interact in the same way again.
