      "Direct and to the point"

      This short article was direct and to the point. Not a lot of fluff here. It's not the end to end solution to persuading others but it gives you the foundation to build upon

      "Money well spent"

      Short and sweet. If you are in sales or negotiate on a regular basis, this is a must read!

      "feeling obliged"

      Just like in the book they say, we are manipulated into feeling we must reciprocate. well, i did.
      quite the basic knowledge, well structured and quite usefull, an excelent 2 bucks investment, a must read for basic survival.

      "Nothing suprising here -- mostly common sense."

      Moderately interesting but no stunning insights. I was hoping for more science, particularly science that may go beyond what you'd intuit anyway.
