Publisher's summary

A global security expert draws on psychological insights to help you master the art of social engineering - human hacking. Make friends, influence people, and leave them feeling better for having met you by being more empathetic, generous, and kind.

Eroding social conventions, technology, and rapid economic change are making human beings more stressed and socially awkward and isolated than ever. We live in our own bubbles, reluctant to connect, and feeling increasingly powerless, insecure, and apprehensive when communicating with others.

A pioneer in the field of social engineering and a master hacker, Christopher Hadnagy specializes in understanding how malicious attackers exploit principles of human communication to access information and resources through manipulation and deceit. Now, he shows you how to use social engineering as a force for good - to help you regain your confidence and control. Human Hacking provides tools that will help you establish rapport with strangers, use body language and verbal cues to your advantage, steer conversations and influence other’s decisions, and protect yourself from manipulators. Ultimately, you’ll become far more self-aware about how you’re presenting yourself - and able to use it to improve your life.

Hadnagy includes lessons and interactive "missions" - exercises spread throughout the book to help you learn the skills, practice them, and master them. With Human Hacking, you’ll soon be winning friends, influencing people, and achieving your goals.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Modern update to Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People

I’ve read Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People” several times. I disliked his tacit approval of using flattery and white lies to influence others. This book has the best of Carnegie’s material with an emphasis on acting ethically.

Worth it

No matter Christopher repeats some things you’ve heard from his previous books, if you read them of course, I really enjoyed this one as well, and I think this should become a school book not only for people that perform “hacker” professions but for all of us who want to become a better person and a better communicator. Thank you, Chris!

That was special

This book is special. The ideas are simple and simply put. But, they are valuable ideas that I believe will be useful to most people given thoughtfulness and precise. The author wrote a good book and did a solid job of recording it. Well done. I plan to listen to his other two Book sometime soon.
