PEOPLE JOY
 
The art, magic and power of successful conversations. How to make good things happen for yourself and others by knowing how to talk to people. It's everything no one ever told you about super communication skills!
 
Think what ‘success’ means to you. Achieving wealth, doing well in your career, finding love, having the freedom to pursue you interests... or something else? 
 
However you define it, the most important factor in achieving success is always the same: other people and how well you connect and communicate with them. 
 
People Joy is about how to unlock and enjoy the transformative power of the conversations you have every day – at home, at work, at an interview, when you’re selling... or even in the street!

WHAT THEY SAY

"This book is absolutely packed full of practical advice about establishing connections and forming relationships. It is also, I suggest, a particularly great book to buy young adults, or anyone starting out on their career who may need to be cajoled into understanding the innate power of their network and relationships. It is one of those books where you are pretty much guaranteed a return on your investment in it. Super!"

-- J. Batchelor

"Ian Rowland’s 'People Joy' is a masterclass in the art of human connection. It's a pleasure to read, the engaging prose draws you in from the start. Ian blends practical psychology with real-world scenarios, offering a toolkit to enhance conversations in any setting — be it personal, professional, or spontaneous encounters.

The book is structured into four parts, covering everything from foundational principles to advanced techniques like persuasion and cold reading. Rowland’s insights are not just theoretical; they’re immediately applicable. For instance, his concept of the 'Ten-Second Smile' and the emphasis on 'Voice Magic' are simple strategies that can elevate everyday interactions. 

After reading People Joy, I decided to test its principles during a networking event. By consciously applying the advice, I noticed a significant shift. Conversations flowed more naturally, and I established genuine connections with several attendees, one of whom later reached out with a promising collaboration opportunity.

What sets People Joy apart is its blend of depth and readability. Whether you’re looking to improve your social skills, enhance professional relationships, or simply understand people better, People Joy is an invaluable resource." -- J. Pritchard
