You’ll give more people a chance to share who they really are . . . which gives you the chance to decide whether they are someone you want to play a bigger part in your life. On the flip side, you will instantly be more likable, which will attract people to you. And ultimately you will build better relationships because the process ensures your attention is placed on other people, not on yourself. Your goal—building more and better relationships—won’t get you there. Becoming more likable will get you there.
