I just finished listening to "The Like Switch" [1] and it covers a lot of ground on how to hit it off with people. It starts with non-verbal behaviors to look friendly to people when they first see you and then slowly transitions into how to make them like you more when talking to them.
I'm on a holiday now and I'm trying to apply some of the things I've learned. I feel like I'm getting good results. A lot of the suggestions are similar to what I've read in other books; especially the "How to win friends and influence people", which signals to me that these things are core principles rather than tricks found out by individual authors.
One thing I've learned from these books. All of these techniques need you to have a degree of self-confidence in-order to apply them. That's something I'm working on right now, but overall I think these books (and similar ones) have a lot of good info to offer for shy non-communicative people like me.
