Publisher's summary

Have you spent most of your life watching the people around you overtake you and always get the better end of the stick, professionally and personally? Do you sit in meetings or at bars and hear people confidently share their thoughts and opinions to people who look on and take in every word they say? Have you ever wanted to be able to share your messages and ideas in the same way?

This book takes the core foundations of psychology based on a decade’s worth of scientific studies and information and has created this roadmap for success.

Being able to master the art of persuasion is to master the art of communication. It’s a skill that allows you to get what you want, be heard, and take your life in the direction you want it to go.

Within the chapters of this book, you’ll discover:

  • How to nurture the mindset of self-confidence and belief in yourself
  • The number one secret in becoming more persuasive (Hint: It’s not what you think)
  • How to talk to anybody — achieve effortless communication skills
  • How to master the art of using and reading body language
  • How human psychology and communication works
  • How to increase your charisma and make people like you
  • Over a dozen methods and strategies to persuade people of your ideas
  • And much more

Using proven psychological communication strategies like priming and spreading activation, you can then put your subject into a more susceptible mindset that helps open them to your ideas, allowing you to ethically persuade and influence people by controlling their thoughts, feelings, emotions, and even their behavior.

If you’ve ever wanted to convince your partner to get a pet or a new car, wanted your boss to listen to your ideas, or wanted to persuade people to offer you a favor — it doesn’t matter what situation you could be in — this book contains the strategies and secrets to help you unlock it all!

Excellent

It is also very useful just for everyday circumstances such as relationships and especially children. The book is full of examples as to how a person can change the thinking, persuade others to their point of view. A great deal can be learned from this book and I highly recommend it to others.

My best one source

A very clear, well-substantiated, and convincing listen to on the means, powers, and deceptions of persuasion. Having listened, studied, and practiced a lot on this subject over the years (including certification in clinical hypnosis and NLP), if I had to suggest just one source for truly understandable and useful information on this subject, this book would be my suggestion. Highly recommended!

Good book

t is human nature that we like to have our way. We want the friends we have to like us; we want to attract new friends to us, and we want things to run smoothly in our lives. It is all perfectly natural and is things that help us to be happy and content. For some people, they have an innate ability when it comes to this, but for others, it is something that must be learned.
