About this listen

From Chris Widener, the author of the breakout best seller The Angel Inside, comes an inspiring new parable on the power of influence.

The Art of Influence will make you think twice about everything you've ever learned about influence. As Chris Widener's inspiring story reveals, it's not something you "do" to other people but rather something that starts with how you shape and transform your own life. Forget about manipulation and slick fast-talking; The Art of Influence teaches that your ability to influence others begins from within.

Simple but profound

A guide for reorienting yourself!. It seems all profound truths are simple. The beginning was hard to listen to, but not the book.

The most unassuming book!

I saw this book sitting in my Audible account, I must’ve purchased it months back and never listened to it. It took me about 15 minutes to get into it and then it blew my mind! I truly loved the message in so many ways. If you are a leader, and influencer, Coach, Entrepreneur, or someone simply aspiring to achieve greatness, this is a must read book!

It All Could Be So Simple

The actual background stories from the audible were a little bit to old for my taste or satisfactory but I understood the bigger picture the author was getting across.

A quick, value-packed listen!

Excellent book! A great reminder to always be developing & improving the inside of who you are, in addition to the outside. A great story that simply shows the truth behind a vast majority of successful people. Highly recommend!

This book is truly amazing!

I loved this book! I love how it teaches you principal and not trickery; how to be influential and not persuasive. I definitely recommend it!

Gives great advice.

I really enjoyed this because it was presented in a story. I love the 4 rules. I need to frame and post these rules at home and in my business to always keep in my mind.

A must-read/listen

This is one of my all-time favs.

I'll be printing the four golden rules to frame and keep in NY office.
