The Art of Influence: Persuading Others Begins With You
$16.95
The Art of Influence is heartwarming and inspiring book intended to encourage you to challenge yourself and become the best you can be. While most books on business relate to developing skills, the author feels that what's missing are books related to developing one's character, and character development is the focus of this book.

And while Cialdini's book on influence deals with psychological traits that influence human behavior, and what will make others act in different ways, the author of this book would define that as "persuasion", and reserves the term "infuence" for how you infuence others by who you are as a human being.

Through a parable, this book teaches four lessons of influence:
1. Live a life of undivided integrity
2. Always demonstrate a positive attitude
3. Consider other people's interests as more important than your own
4. Don't settle for anything less than excellence

Even though the focus of this parable are billionaires, this book will most likely appeal primarily to people who want to grow spiritually, and not just materially. It encourages you to keep on working on yourself and strive to be your best and do your best whatever comes your way.

Im not really sure on what to write in here. The book was in the condition as described. I recieved it a little earlier than what was listed on the website. As far as the book itself, I havent read it yet. I guess that's why I get more no's than yes. I'm not in retail, I don't sell a product. I sell a work ethic/verbal image. I really got this book to see if I could learn something about influence. When I go and ask for a raise I want all the advantages I can get. I thought maybe I could have mind control over my boss and take over the world all with this book.

However It's still sitting on the floor next to the bed. I'm really not much help on this review, my A.D.D. kicks in and .................. oh look carpet.................
