An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Influencing, Attracting, and Winning People Over
Written by Dr. Jack Schafer, a former FBI Special Agent who specialized in behavior analysis and recruiting spies. Drawing from his extensive experience in the FBI’s National Security Division’s Behavioral Analysis Program, where he developed strategies for profiling terrorists and detecting deception, Schafer shares his proven techniques for instantly reading people and influencing their perception of you. The book serves as a practical handbook for turning strangers into friends in various situations, such as sales calls, first dates, or job interviews.
Schafer adapts his battlefield-tested tactics for everyday use, offering readers tools to improve their “Likeability Quotient” (LQ), detect deception both in person and online, master nonverbal cues that shape others’ perceptions, and adjust the intensity of relationships. With insights reminiscent of TV shows like Criminal Minds or CSI, he teaches readers how to make strong first impressions, build lasting connections, and decode others’ behavior to understand their true thoughts. “The Like Switch” provides actionable advice for taking control of communications, interactions, and relationships, helping readers win people over for a moment or a lifetime.
