He is also the as head of the Behavioral Analysis Program that teaches other agents how to build rapport with anyone, anywhere and at any...more
This is one of my favorite books and I'm certain that I will read it again and again. It offers some great advice for quickly building relationships. The material is presented in a concise and easy to understand format. Even the most shy or introverted individual can benefit from this book.
If you have problems starting conversations or have ever felt you have trouble finding the right words, this book will help.

I liked Robin Dreeke's little e-book (obtained for free) about starting conversations with strangers in a non-threatening way. Some moments did feel a little manipulative (some of his FBI work shining through), but most are thoughtful and about making the other person comfortable and feeling listened to. Never literature, but brief and practical.
Clear and direct techniques for approaching strangers and having meaningful and rewarding conversations with them, from an FBI agent in the Behavioural Analysis Program. Conveying your intent, body language and tone of voice, are very important. Definitely something I would refer back to in the future.
Not really heavyweight. Given the author's background, I'd hope for more depth pr more titilating examples. Still, it is a useful little book.
Lots of really great tips- I have already used a few with good results. Not the best written book, but the content more than makes up for that.
He stresses the importance of being completely honest, but the first technique, "artificial time constraints" seems disingenuous to me. I don't doubt the other nine tips would be more than sufficiently effective, though, if you were to choose to leave that one out.
Easy to understand tips with supporting examples of how to start conversations with strangers and gain meaningful connection with anyone. I'm sure I'll refer back to this book.
Short, easy read and easily applicable to everyday life and business situations.

As a horror writer looking for material, I was hoping this would be more insidious.
2 stars because of the examples given (gender based). I couldn't relate...
AMAZING book on building rapport
interesting, but I only took away a few points that I felt was relevant to my life
It's a good quick read. Fluff-free, with some good advice from a FBI guy who seems to know his stuff. I enjoyed it, and I like how the facts are backed up by science.
