All of the ideas in this book could be better condensed into 100 pages or less I found his numerous examples boring, which is ironic for a book that purports to be the go to on persuasion skills The quiz didn t have related answers at the back, so I abandoned that The summary at the end of each chapter was another boring and unnecessary bit of filler The book taught me a few things, but it lacked order and interest Why wasn t Aristotle s art of persuasion explored That would have been interesti [...]
Reading this book will certainly do no harm worst that can happen is you ll find an idea or two that you ll be able to put in practice and improve your persuasive skills As such, I did not waste my time reading it and you won t either That having been said, I ll have to agree with some of the reviews here I too have found the book rather basic and aimed at the very unexperienced reader wanting an intro to the subject The two aspects I personally like the least are 1 I think a book like this one [...]
This book will not teach you to be the master of persuasion rather, it will present you certain things to notice while communicating with partners and co workers so you can recognize feelings and intents that people you talk to don t verbally tell you I liked it because it largely succeeds small course about business communication which I attended Overall, it is a nice and simple book
This book can help you at initial steps towards building your career While most of ideas and statements are basic, one might grab couple of advices like importance of names or listening skills enhancement I also liked an example problem about hotel boy quite interesting.
It was similar to other negotiating books that you can find elsewhere but the concept is there.

Some of the book content is really rich and insightful and it has a clear understanding of what make how why people tick, emphasizing that empathy is a key factor when it comes to persuasion Besides that it provides you with invaluable points on mind reading and tackling difficult personalities.However large part of the book is hardly new or useful to those who have higher than average interpersonal skills.In sum, according to the author, good persuasion skills lie in identifying and understandi [...]
It is easy to follow and draws from peer reviewed literature and dominant theories in the field However, it is very simplistic This book is really targeting the general public, so if you have no prior knowledge of psychology and are looking for a quick read, then it will suit you If, like me, you do have prior knowledge of psychological theory then it will feel a bit condescending and you won t really gain much from reading it.

Nothing new, just a recap of stuff you are probably already aware of such as active listening It s a good reminder of what you should be doing when you interact with others, and it certainly focussed my attention and made me think about how I was dealing with people But overall it is just the same rehashed self help stuff seen many times before.
I bought this while I was at an airport in Scotland I really liked how it was laid out, and also how the diagrams related to the text on the page The information was to the point and all very informative I would recommend this book for someone who is looking for a broad overview of the basic psychology behind standard interpersonal relationships.
An okay book, but that i wouldn t buy read if I knew it before I feel some disconnection in the topics and not a single time some loose ends What annoyed me big time is how easy it s i get lost in the thread of ideas, and i guess it has something to do with the writer style.
Some good observations, but many superfluous or false assumptions tend to drag the books worth down With a grain of salt can help you to learn something about persuasion, without it the book just leaves a nasty aftertaste.
I really liked this book because it really talks about communication skills on several levels and social psychology There are a lot of practical tips in this book and things that I have definitely integrated into my dealings with people on a daily basis.
So far so good It describes common communication mistakes and what to do to improve communication Great book for everyone, so for those dealing with a variety of people at a daily basis Great for business and sales people.
I read this quite quickly because it was interesting but I think I will have to read it again to know what I learned from it.
Loved this book A lot of valuable tips
4 hours book for one time reading while you are in the train traveling from one city to another Still better than most of Russian written motivational books.
I found it an interesting read Very long dialogue in some illustrations, but it was a good reminder about effective interpersonal communication.
a nice refresher fast motivational read
Not bad for an old book Its not scientifically proven persuasion, tactics than strategies Can t expect anything greater for the price.
Insights on how to deal with people and make them listen to you
I gave up on it for personal reasons
Not a bad book Made me think a great deal about everything really.
the book I grabbed from my mum s bookshelf helpful for dealing with hard people
Great insight Very helpful explanation of this powerful skill.
Accurate.
Well written and interesting, but I didn t learn anything new it seems I already do everything recommended.
Boring as hell
