** 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. This guide to social dynamics shows how the people around you define your success (whatever that means for you) and have the potential to change the course of your life.

That’s what You’re Invited is about: the art and science of human connection and the most universal strategy for success―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 draws on years of experience as a behavioral scientist to guide 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.

This book provides a blueprint for genuine influence, revealing:

• The Influence Equation: Master the author’s simple formula―Influence = (Connection × Trust) Sense of Community―and apply it to your personal and professional life.
• Building Trust Quickly: Learn the science behind vulnerability loops and why asking for help―not offering it―is the fastest way to forge deep, authentic bonds with colleagues and industry leaders.
• Community Building: Go behind the scenes of "The Influencers," a legendary private dinner party that brings together Nobel laureates and celebrities, and learn how to create your own thriving community.
• Beyond Networking: For introverts and extroverts alike, this guide offers actionable strategies to move past awkward small talk and create meaningful, lasting relationships that enrich every aspect of your life.
