Synopsis

** A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USAToday Bestseller **Regardless of what you want to accomplish, from growing your business, creating a great company culture, championing a social cause, or affecting your habits, you can’t do it alone. The people around you define your success (whatever that means for you) and they have the potential to change the course of your life.That’s what You’re Invited is about: The most universal strategy for success is creating meaningful connections with those who can impact you, your life, and the things you care about. But how do you make those connections and build trust quickly? What do you do if you’re introverted or hate networking? Behavioral scientist Jon Levy had no money, reputation or status, but was able to convince groups of Nobel Laureates, Olympians, celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, 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. The goal of his gatherings, much like this book, was not networking, but to build meaningful and lasting relationships.    This private community based around the dinner experience became known as “The Influencers”, named for the member’s success and industry influence. Since its inception more than a decade ago, The Influencers has grown into the largest private group of its kind worldwide, with a thriving community both in person and through digital experiences.In You’re Invited, Levy guides readers through the art and science of creating deep and meaningful connections with anyone, regardless of their stature or celebrity, and demonstrates how we develop influence, gain trust, and build community so that we can impact our communities and achieve what’s important to us.

Goodreads review by Irina on May 16, 2021

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. "Yo......more

Well-intentioned - if you wish to cultivate a community in support of a business objective, a cause, or simply for social reasons, you will achieve better outcomes if you're purposeful about it.

The book explores this idea of how do we make deep and meaningful relationships with anybody and where do we start? It doesn't matter if they're a global leader or a celebrity, or a community leader that you just find really interesting. How do you build trust in a meaningful way? How do you foster......more

Goodreads review by Vovka on January 27, 2022

This is one of those fluffy books you can read at 2.5x speed and not lose any nuance. It's partially a manual for throwing networking events, and for this purpose, it's not bad. It's a bit all over the place, and there's some typical rehashing of pop psych (e.g., a summary of Adam Grant's _Give and......more

I bought "You're Invited" after reading the favorable review in the Wall Street Journal. I was already searching for resources for re-engaging with people in person after more than a year of sad and impersonal Zoom meetings. This book was exactly what I was looking for. It has given me all sorts of......more
