Sanders's message in this follow-up to his bestselling Love Is the Killer App isn't exactly a revelation: people who are well liked are more apt to get what they want out of life than those who are disliked. However, Sanders does offer a valuable look at the four personality traits he says contribute to a person's likability-namely, friendliness, relevance (do you connect on interests or needs?), empathy and "realness" (genuineness or authenticity). Sanders, a Yahoo! leadership coach, is able to deconstruct complex subjects such as personality traits, and the book's value is in guiding readers toward understanding that likability isn't an accident of birth but a skill that can be learned (exercises are included). No doubt every reader knows someone they'd like to give this book to, and perhaps people who suspect their own L-factor is low will find their way to it, too.

As you have gone through your professional development you have probably focused on gaining trust, credibility and respect. All of these are good things to gain and to aspire to earn. In this book Tim Sanders (author of Love is the Killer App and leadership coach at Yahoo!) you will learn that Likeability is at the root of all of those things and that when you put your focus on being more likable, many great things will happen to you.
This is a book filled with research findings, examples and is written in a very readable style. Most importantly though, the book comes at this topic with a decidedly positive and practical approach that we can raise our "L-Factor" (Likeability Factor) and gives you many suggestions for doing just that.
This book is a fun and easy read, yet it explores some very important principles that you probably haven't thought about before. Not only is this a great book for you as an individual, but if you participate in a business book club, this would likely make a great selection.

The first thing to note here is this is a short book. Only 224 pages, including the table of contents, introductions, etc. The first 131 pages are basically an infomercial for the book, telling you why it was such a good idea to purchase it. Nothing really helpful or exciting, it talks about why it is important for people to like you. Obviously you realize how important it is to be liked, otherwise you would not even be looking at this book.
On page 132 things get interesting. Tim Sanders does not let you sit back and be passive. There is a little writing and a lot of thinking involved with the self-exploration exercises Tim gives you. You are required to look inward to see what about you is already likable, and what needs improvement.
The best advice I got from this book is to "observe no unfriendliness." If you are able to visualize yourself as a friendly person, you will become friendlier, and thereby you will become more likable. There is plenty of advice like this to help you become a better person. I know, because it worked for me. |
