Summary

Everyone reads success books, but few succeed。 Why? Jon Levy, behavioral scientist and founder of the private community of Nobel Laureates, celebrities, and executives called “The Influencers,” decided to find the answer。 You’re Invited reveals the surprising formula that you too can use to create exceptional levels of success。  

Want to grow your influence and develop deep and meaningful relationships with the people who could have the biggest impact on your goals, habits, aspirations, and causes?

Behavioral scientist, Jon Levy, achieved the seemingly impossible。 Having no money, reputation or status, he got groups made of Nobel laureates, Olympians, celebrities, Fortune 100 executives, Hall of Fame athletes, and even an occasional Princess to not only give him advice, but cook him dinner, wash his dishes, sweep his floors, and then thank him for the experience。 Thus began the private community called, “The Influencers。” With thousands of members, The Influencers is the largest private group of its kind worldwide。 

In You're Invited you'll apply the secrets Jon discovered to accelerate your own ability to connect with influential people, build deep trust with everyone you meet, grow a thriving remarkable community, and achieve all you desire, while actually enjoying the process。

Through his research and community, Jon realized influence doesn't need to depend on wealth, family, or extroversion, but instead comes from characteristics anyone can master: You’re Invited is about the stories and science behind successful organizations and people, and the specific steps you can use to start applying these principles, today。

I loved this book。 It's an easy read, but that doesn't mean it's without substance。 Quite the contrary - this book is medicine for the loneliness epidemic and it's more urgently needed now than ever。 Many of us have lost close ties with supportive communities and we're far away from our friends。 "You're Invited" helps you *do* something about it。 It's about learning to grow your influence so you can build communities and friendships。I'm a professional behavioral scientist, so I kept an eye out f I loved this book。 It's an easy read, but that doesn't mean it's without substance。 Quite the contrary - this book is medicine for the loneliness epidemic and it's more urgently needed now than ever。 Many of us have lost close ties with supportive communities and we're far away from our friends。 "You're Invited" helps you *do* something about it。 It's about learning to grow your influence so you can build communities and friendships。I'm a professional behavioral scientist, so I kept an eye out for how the research references are handled and I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised。 Of course, if you're here for a densely academic book, this one is not for you, since there is plenty of anecdotal storytelling。 This book is an easy and informative read for the non-scientist but it doesn't cause any science eye-rolls。 (A tough balance to strike。) The author does a good job balancing engaging stories, applied advice, highlighted core concepts, and supporting research。 It hits all the right notes。 But that's not the best part。The best part is that it really motivates the reader to make a positive change。 Before I read the book, I was wallowing in a pandemic social-life slump。 After the book, I was inspired to go out and build new friendships。 And I took the book's advice, which I can thank for a whole bouquet of fun new friends (digital and in-person)。 As a scientist in this field, I already was aware of much of the science described in the book, but that wasn't enough。 I wasn't motivated。 That's the magical difference here。 The author talks about the importance of using behavioral science for good and lives up to it since the tips in the book create friendships and communities。 Get the book。 Do what it says。 Be happier and more connected to the people around you。 You'll be glad you did。Highly recommended! 。。。more

This is a useful book。 It's about increasing your influence to help you make friends。 What I like is that it's a lot more useful than Dale Carnegie's 'How to Make Friends and Influence People' which simply tells you that the secret is to be interested in the other person。 This book gives you a much bigger bag of tricks from science that you can use to put people at their ease and create contexts where friendship is more likely to develop。 What I especially appreciated as an introvert is that it' This is a useful book。 It's about increasing your influence to help you make friends。 What I like is that it's a lot more useful than Dale Carnegie's 'How to Make Friends and Influence People' which simply tells you that the secret is to be interested in the other person。 This book gives you a much bigger bag of tricks from science that you can use to put people at their ease and create contexts where friendship is more likely to develop。 What I especially appreciated as an introvert is that it's not just for flamboyant, extroverted people, but it appeals to a broad range of audiences with a broad range of social skills。 Kudos to the author for that。 I liked it a lot, especially the applied stuff。 。。。more

"You're Invited" is an interesting read for anyone trying to understand the psychology of relationships and influence。 It's not about "networking", an activity the author does not like, it's about building a sense of community, where the building blocks are honesty, trust, competence and benevolence。 Trust is an essential building block。 What's interesting about the book and the studies that Levy writes about, it that much of the process of building relationships is fascinating and makes perfect "You're Invited" is an interesting read for anyone trying to understand the psychology of relationships and influence。 It's not about "networking", an activity the author does not like, it's about building a sense of community, where the building blocks are honesty, trust, competence and benevolence。 Trust is an essential building block。 What's interesting about the book and the studies that Levy writes about, it that much of the process of building relationships is fascinating and makes perfect sense, once he uncovers the behaviors behind them。 Lot's of "Aha!" moments。 It is a well written, fascinating read with a generous helping of insights one can apply to their own life。 。。。more

"You're Invited" is way more aligned with my preferred action-fueled style than the academic, pedagogical books on influence by Robert Cialdini。 And definitely agree - human connection is both art and science - and both are deeply and complementarily covered here。 This feels both timeless and timely, with insights you'd find helpful anytime as well as guidance for navigating intimacy and community during the post-pandemic times。 P。S。 Read cover to cover for a fun hidden surprise :) "You're Invited" is way more aligned with my preferred action-fueled style than the academic, pedagogical books on influence by Robert Cialdini。 And definitely agree - human connection is both art and science - and both are deeply and complementarily covered here。 This feels both timeless and timely, with insights you'd find helpful anytime as well as guidance for navigating intimacy and community during the post-pandemic times。 P。S。 Read cover to cover for a fun hidden surprise :) 。。。more
