Gives you a hint on what you need to explore

I was reading this book to learn how to be more persuasive,
this book gave me the understanding of the following:

Foundations of Rhetoric: The history and principles of rhetoric, including classical concepts from Aristotle (ethos, pathos, logos) and their application in modern communication. You can't use just logic, you must use EMOTIONAL apeals.

Persuasive Techniques: Strategies for crafting compelling arguments, such as using evidence, emotional appeals, and logical reasoning to influence audiences.

Speech Writing and Delivery: Techniques for structuring persuasive speeches. A SPEECH is actually a persuation language. So if you study speech, you see that they use logic, but also use stories to incite emotions in the audiance, otherwise it will not work.
