Editorial Review:

Product Description:


Influence, the classic book on persuasion, explains the psychology of why people say "yes"—and how to apply these understandings. Dr. Robert Cialdini is the seminal expert in the rapidly expanding field of influence and persuasion. His thirty-five years of rigorous, evidence-based research along with a three-year program of study on what moves people to change behavior has resulted in this highly acclaimed book.



You'll learn the six universal principles, how to use them to become a skilled persuader—and how to defend yourself against them. Perfect for people in all walks of life, the principles of Influence will move you toward profound personal change and act as a driving force for your success.

Recommended.




Rating: - The best book I read in college
This is by far the most interesting, useful, and important book that I read in college. Buy it, read it, learn all the tricks that people use to influence you as well as ways to combat those tricks and use them for your own good.

Rating: - Great Read! Fascinating!!!
This book is masterfully written. Dr. Cialdini really knows his stuff, what is more, he knows how to keep a reader engaged. This book was recommended by a student at Northwestern's Kellogg school of management. If you want to be able to compete with the likes of that tier of professionals, this is a must read.

Rating: - An eye opening reading!
Cialdini's book elucidates the insidious strategies of compliance that are used by consumerists, marketers, politicians, and compliance experts to manipulate the masses.
His book is simple yet enlightening.
It makes an interesting and edifying reading.
