What if charisma could be taught?

What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab and every person you meet a chance to experiment.

The Charisma Myth is a mix of fun stories, sound science and practical tools. Cabane takes a scientific approach to a heretofore mystical topic, covering what charisma actually is, how it is learned, what its side effects are and how to handle them.

Critic reviews

"Engaging, clear and chock-full of wisdom, practical recommendations and uncommonly good sense." (Stephen Kosslyn, director, Center for Study of Behavioral Sciences at Stanford)

"Cabane has done us a big favour. She's woven solid science and engaging narrative into an instructive treatment of the role of charisma in leadership." (Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence)

"If you are interested in increasing your ability to be charismatic in your unique setting or employment, this book will give you direct skills to use." (Psychology Today)

I wish there was more science in this bokk. The narrator is very monotone and lacks emotion.
