Exceptional, Insightful, Life Changing Strategies

This is the first time I’ve chosen to listen to an audible book. My husband passed away-we were very close-only socialized together. I lived with him for 1/2 my life. We were very happy; I miss him so much. I’m determined to change my behavior and become a more well rounded person. Additionally; I’m a successful, independent business woman who wants to be at the top of my career. This book is one instrument in achieving this goal. The techniques presented in this book will enable me to succeed.

book has some good knowledge but wasted much time.

while the book had some good knowledge most of it was just talking about how not to abuse what he's going to give you that he finally gives you towards the very end and then gives you even more warnings. perhaps it's because it wasn't that much knowledge or content to give out in the first place. but with that being said plenty of great things to learn hear. so would recommend reading it to everyone

Great listen!

The beginning I found a bit boring, but as I continued listening it got better. Towards the end is when he reveals some of the most important psychological principles involved in persuasion and simply being aware of those tactics now is helpful, but he also offers ways to use them. Great listen.

Very entertaining

You know a book is well written when it is not only entertaining, but also so densely packed with interesting stuff that most of it is turned yellow by enthusiastic highlighting. This is one of those books.

Full of wisdom

I enjoyed this book because it offers you business and personal advice on how to affect customer behavior or people in your community or social circles. The book goes beyond the intro course typical of psychology. I recommend this book if you, or your social circles, are trying to succeed in business.

Highly informative

The book is highly informative and offers a good starting point for improving a person's persuasive interaction with others.

While reading it I have seen many great marketing examples that take you beyond interpersonal communication and tackle the mass market.

Well explained

Great book on persuasion. Well explained as well. Quick, easy listen with succinct, powerfully persuasive advice. A must listen and must use if you genuinely want to increase your persuasive power.
