Science of People applies behavioural research to social skills. Body language, first impressions, persuasion and negotiation, grounded in studies rather than assertion.

The core claim is that charisma is a learnable skill set, and the newsletter treats it as one.

Directly useful if your work depends on meetings, pitching or interviewing.

The Science of People newsletter, created by Vanessa Van Edwards, shares research-backed insights on human behavior, influence, and social dynamics. Each issue provides practical strategies to improve confidence, charisma, and communication skills in both personal and professional settings.

Professionals, entrepreneurs, and high achievers who want to improve social skills, master body language, and build stronger relationships.

Get science-based strategies for improving persuasion, negotiation, and emotional intelligence, backed by real-world research.
