Publisher's summary

  • If you want to learn the art of mental manipulation;
  • If you want to improve your persuasion skills;
  • if you want to learn the best methods, so that people get your ideas;
  • if you want to know the magic words to get out of any problematic situation

Some people are considered smart in society. They receive praise, accolades, and are given the seats of honor in society. People perceive them to have leadership, sales, and advertising ability and often hand these responsibilities to them. While some may have genuine talent, the majority of them have just mastered the skill of persuasion.

You see, when you can convince people to take up your ideas and way of doing things, you can get them to follow you and to do all that you want them to do. Onlookers will interpret it as you having leadership skills and the ability to move masses, but the secret to your success will be far from it.

Persuasion skills can get you anything you want in this world. It can get you influence and power in the society; it can get you married; it can convince your competitor’s customers that the products you offer are better; it can get you anything. You only need to go about it from an informed position, so that you do not end up overselling your position and being discovered. This isn’t to say that persuasion is wrong, even the worst of its kind, manipulation, is legal. Being discovered means that people will realize that you want to shift their thinking to your side, and they will begin to build mental or emotional barriers to keep that from happening. If they do this, your efforts will have been unsuccessful, and this is not the path you wish to take.

Persuasion Techniques: The Art of Mental Manipulation Through A Practical Guide to Influence and Improve the Mental Control of People and Increase Your Conversation Capacity opens the door to a whole new world of techniques and steps to take when you want to shift the opinions of people. You see, human beings have a tendency of believing that only they know the truth or understand reality. The result is erroneous thinking that would lead to poor decisions.

Imagine leading a team of people who are stuck in their ways; it would be difficult to make any significant achievement. You would always disagree. At this time, persuasion skills would come in handy because you would make an effort to convince them to take the seemingly best option given the circumstances. Your team members would start working together, and the order would be restored. If you encountered problems on your way, those too would be resolved through team effort.

As you can see, persuasion skills serve to draw people to work with the same aim, to achieve a common goal. They get us working together, whether we succeed or we fail, and that is the essence of being in a family, a community or a country. We are not obliged to think the same way, but we should at least take up the best suggestion as our direction and forge forward instead of wasting time weighing out opinions.

In this audiobook, you will find:

  • The most comprehensive coverage of persuasion skills with real-life examples of how they are used to shift opinion
  • The most credible advice on how to convince others of your opinion
  • The most useful guide for how to make your opinion and your voice heard
  • Advice on how to make your voice heard by persons in authority
  • The most valuable tips for helping you read body communication
  • The most vivid description of the behavior of a good leader
  • A description of some of the most potent magic words you can use to get yourself out of any problematic situation
