Completely wasted my Audible credit on Jack Schafer's The Like Switch. I started reading hoping to get some cool FBI social hacks but all I got was asinine advice in a knockoff Dale Carnegie-esque manner for the five hours I dredged through this book. Advice like 'smile at people when you meet them' and 'make them feel good about themselves'. No shit, Sherlock. It's like it's written for someone who has 'make a friend' on their bucket list.
