The Likeability Factor:
How to Boost Your L-Factor and Achieve Your
Life’s Dreams
Sanders's message in this follow-up to his bestselling Love Is the Killer App isn't exactly a revelation: people who are well liked are more apt to get what they want out of life than those who are disliked. However, Sanders does offer a valuable look at the four personality traits he says contribute to a person's likeability—namely, friendliness, relevance (do you connect on interests or needs?), empathy and "realness" (genuineness or authenticity). Sanders, a Yahoo! leadership coach, is able to deconstruct complex subjects such as personality traits, and the book's value is in guiding readers toward understanding that likeability isn't an accident of birth but a skill that can be learned (exercises are included). No doubt every reader knows someone they'd like to give this book to, and perhaps people who suspect their own L-factor is low will find their way to it, too.

Reviews
"Tim Sanders suggests that we need to refine our ability to be a positive light in the lives of others and I wholeheartedly agree. This book will enrich your life, and more importantly, the lives of those you touch."
Anthony Robbins, author of Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power
"Conventional wisdom insists that it's more important to be respected than liked. In this book Tim Sanders challenges that notion and reveals the awesome power of likeability. He shows us that if we want to garner support from our associates, earn the loyalty of our employees, lead our followers to a better future, be healthy and finally achieve our life's dreams, we must first be liked. In this important and necessary book, Sanders tells us why our likeability is the foundation of our success, and shows us how we can increase our own."
Marcus Buckingham, author of First Break All the Rules and Now Discover Your Strengths
"I think Tim Sanders hits the nail right on the head. If you just make them love you, they’ll be happy to love you. And I learned early in life that if you want people to love you, you gotta make sure you love them back."
George Foreman
