IRRESISTIBLE PEOPLE

UNMISTAKABLE HABITS OF
DR . TRAVIS BRADBERRY
TOO MANY PEOPLE succumb to the mistaken belief that being likeable comes from natural , unteachable traits that belong only to a lucky few — the good looking , the fiercely social , and the incredibly talented . It ’ s easy to fall prey to this misconception .
Some people , regardless of what they lack — money , looks , or social connections — always radiate with energy and confidence . Even the most skeptical individuals find themselves enamored with these charming individuals .
These people are the life of every party . They ' re the ones you turn to for help , advice , and companionship .
You just can ' t get enough of them , and they leave you asking yourself , " What do they have that I don ' t ? What makes them so irresistible ?"
The difference ? Their sense of self-worth comes from within .
Irresistible people aren ’ t constantly searching for validation , because they ’ re confident enough to find it in themselves . There are certain habits they pursue every day to maintain this healthy perspective .
Since being irresistible isn ’ t the result of dumb luck , it ’ s time to study the habits of irresistible people so that you can use them to your benefit .
Get ready to say “ hello ” to a new , more irresistible you .
THEY FOCUS ON PEOPLE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE .
Irresistible people possess an authentic interest in those around them . As a result , they don ’ t spend much time thinking about themselves . They don ’ t obsess over how well they ’ re liked , because they ’ re too busy focusing on the people they ’ re with . It ’ s what makes their irresistibility seem so effortless .
To put this habit to work for you , try putting down the smart phone and focusing on the people you ’ re with . Focus on what they ’ re saying , not what your response will be , or how what they ’ re saying will affect you . When people tell you something about themselves , follow up with open-ended questions to draw them out even more .
THEY ARE AUTHENTIC .
Irresistible people are who they are . Nobody has to burn up energy or brainpower trying to guess their agenda or predict what they ’ ll do next . They do this because they know that no one likes a fake .
People gravitate toward authentic individuals because they know they can trust them . It ’ s easy to resist someone when you don ’ t know who they really are and how they really feel .
THEY FIND REASONS TO LOVE LIFE .
Irresistible people are positive and passionate . They ’ re never bored , because they see life as an amazing adventure and approach it with a joy that other people want to be a part of .
It ’ s not that irresistible people don ’ t have problems — even big ones — but they approach problems as temporary obstacles , not inescapable fate . When things go wrong , they remind themselves that a bad day is just one day , and they keep hope that tomorrow or next week or next month will be better .
THEY DITCH THE SMALL TALK .
There ’ s no surer way to prevent an emotional connection from forming during a conversation than by sticking to small talk . When you robotically approach people with small talk this puts their brains on autopilot and prevents them from having any real affinity for you . Irresistible people create connection and find depth even in short , everyday conversations . Their genuine interest in other people makes it easy for them to ask good questions and relate what they ’ re told to other important facets of the speaker ’ s life .
THEY TREAT EVERYONE WITH RESPECT .
Whether interacting with their biggest client or a server taking their drink order , irresistible people are unfailingly polite and respectful . They understand that — no matter how nice they are to the person they ’ re having lunch with — it ’ s all for naught if that person witnesses them behaving badly toward someone else . Irresistible people treat everyone with respect because they believe they ’ re no better than anyone else .
