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.

Amazon.com Review:
Arguably the best book ever on what is increasingly becoming the science of persuasion. Whether you're a mere consumer or someone weaving the web of persuasion to urge others to buy or vote for your product, this is an essential book for understanding the psychological foundations of marketing. Recommended.

- Do I owe this book five stars?
Diversion 3/5--easy read,decently edited,moderately interesting examples of behavioral psychology. Instruction 3/5--Maybe the field is young but the described experiments are often familiar,the Milgram electroshock experiments for example. Inspiration 2/5--Mostly negative suggestions,do not always listen to the automatic click/whir response. Be more aggressive toward those hijacking these responses for profit. Not quite a Henry V type motivation. Overall 3/5 if not already familiar with behavioral psych.

Cialdini's classic book on influence contains universal principles that govern our every day behavior, whether we are aware of them or not! Anyone who wants to achieve anything in this world must master these rules of persuasion. This is one of the most important psychological works ever created. It shows both the science and art of success.

- Looking into the mind for influence
This book is truly amazing!

It really goes deep into the hidden psychology on why people buy things and how they justify themselves to do it...

The author supports all his theories by quoting studies that were done to assess the psychology on why people buy.

The best part is, now you can learn to turbo-charge your business by knowing why and how people will buy from you.

Definitely a recommended book!

Rating:

- Influential
Dr. Cialdini's book is highly readable, thought provoking, and occasionally frightening. His insights into some of the most celebrated (and notorious) experiences and experiments in mass psychology (such as the Milgram project and the Kitty Genovese case) are worth the price of the book alone. But it is Dr. Cialdini's categorizing of the elements of mass psychology and the tools of persuasion that stay with the reader long after the book is back on the shelf. Highly recommended.
