INTRODUCTION
Have you ever thought about the qualities of someone who is universally liked? The type of person that can effortlessly charm and amaze others? Being liked by others is a huge plus in almost every aspect of life, from making friends and romantic partners to advancing your career and expanding your social circle.
The purpose of the book How to Be Likable
is to help you understand what makes people like you and provide you tools to improve your own charisma. In the following chapters, we'll get into the core ideas, abilities, and outlook that can help you become more likable and form deeper connections with others. First things first, though: what, exactly, is likability? Despite what some may think, it's not about being the centre of attraction or seeking approval all the time. Genuineness, empathy, and the ability to connect with others on a deeper level are the bedrock of likability. It's about making others feel welcome, appreciated, and understood in your company.
In this book, we'll explore what makes a person likeable and how to cultivate those traits. Each chapter will provide insightful advice and practical strategies to help you become more likable, from learning to communicate effectively without using words to practicing active listening to finally accepting yourself for who you really are.
Perhaps you're wondering, But can likability really be taught? Isn't that a natural disposition?
Although some people may be born with an innate capacity to charm others, most of us can become likable by working on our social skills. You have the ability to develop into a genuinely likeable person by adopting a growth mind set and committing to personal growth. The road to likeability involves more than just obtaining external affirmation and winning popularity contests. Connecting with others, helping them understand you, and making a positive impact on your life as a whole are all part of this. Becoming a more likable person improves the lives of others around you as well as your own.
So, are you prepared to take this life-altering trip? Are you itching to learn the ins and outs of making people like you and realizing your full potential? If that's the case, let's dig into the following chapters and learn the techniques that will make you the kind of person everyone wants to be around. Keep in mind that being likable has nothing to do with pretending to be someone you're not; it's all about being comfortable in your own skin and using that to build genuine relationships with other people. With the knowledge, skills, and self-assurance you receive from this book, you'll be able to handle any social situation with poise and ease. Prepare to set out on a journey of exploration and development. It's time to learn how to use your likability to improve your personal and professional life. Let's begin!
PART ONE
Understanding Likability: Unravelling the Mystery
Do you make people feel at ease and welcome in your presence? Do you make people feel loved, understood, and accepted? From the start, likeable people know how to endear themselves to others. They recognize the significance of presenting themselves as genuine and eager to engage. If you do this, people will see you as someone they want to talk to and hang out with. It may appear that charismatic people are born charming, but the truth is that likability, like any other skill, can be learnt and honed.
Too many people believe that being likable comes from natural, unteachable attributes that only a select few possess -the good looking, the intensely sociable, and the very gifted. It's easy to fall victim to this myth. In actuality, being likable is something you can influence through emotional intelligence (EQ). In a recent study, respondents ranked over 500 adjectives based on their perceived importance to likability. The most popular adjectives have nothing to do with being gregarious, intelligent, or attractive (innate qualities). Instead, the most important adjectives were sincerity, transparency, and the ability to understand another person. These and similar descriptors indicate people who are skilled in the social aspect of emotional intelligence. Individuals who possess these skills outperform those who do not by a considerable margin.
The following are proven essential behaviours that emotionally intelligent people exhibit that make them so appealing;
They Ask Questions
The most common error individuals make when listening is being so focused on what they're going to say next or how what the other person is saying will affect them that they fail to hear what's being said. The words are heard clearly, but the meaning is lost. To avoid this, simply
