Book Synopsis



100% scientific, proven ways to stop freezing, survive small talk, and feel confident in any social setting. Forget vague advice like "just be yourself"-Science-Based Social Skills turns decades of psychological research into practical, no-fluff strategies anyone can use to become more confident, approachable, and socially skilled.

Bestselling author Patrick King distills over 25 studies on social perception, likability, and charisma into step-by-step tools you can apply immediately. Learn to avoid awkward silences, build effortless rapport, and make people want to keep talking to you-without being fake or overthinking every move.

Discover the science behind first impressions, bonding, and group dynamics so you can finally stop guessing and start connecting. Learn how to:

  • Master first impressions and stop self-sabotage
  • Avoid the "comparison trap" while looking confident
  • Use facial expressivity to be more charismatic, even if introverted
  • Turn awkward small talk into effortless conversation with proven prompts
  • Build trust and warmth with subtle signals
  • Bond quickly through shared experiences

If you've ever wished socializing came with an instruction manual, this is it. Every tactic is grounded in peer-reviewed science and practical enough to use at your next conversation, date, or networking event. Stop dreading social situations and start thriving with Science-Based Social Skills.
