About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Get what you want without compromising who you are: the new rules of persuasion to influence others for good.
We're all nice. In fact, we're told we're too nice and we have to change to succeed: 'play the game!'; 'beat them down!'; 'toughen up!'. Do we have to choose between betraying our own values and being left behind without a voice? Absolutely not. We can naturally be persuasive and successful every day without making enemies of ourselves or other people.
Influence is a science, and renowned Yale professor Zoe Chance will help you master it in this fascinating book. Drawing on the latest behavioural research, entertaining real-life stories and the skills she teaches on her sell-out Yale University MBA course, Zoe Chance unpacks what influence is and how we are persuaded before setting out a series of powerful skills you can adopt to master the art of persuasion and influence. Her techniques include the Magic Question, Powerful Listening, the What Would It Take Question and Building Support. She also looks at how to use influence for maximum positive impact in the world - and how to defend yourself against the 'dark arts' of persuasion by other less scrupulous individuals or institutions.
Bold, entertaining and efficacious, this indispensable book is a call to action for all the nice people in the world wanting to practice influence without resorting to manipulation, bullying or corruption to create a brighter more positive future.

Refreshing
Without being 10 hours worth, it was easy to listen to real life examples and phrases to use (and not use).

Expected more
Excellent narration by Zoe and congratulations are in order for assembling this piece of work - this said, unfortunately, I was left disappointed.
Given the impressive clout of the author, I was expecting big things from this book, and it largely underwhelmed.
I am well-versed in the field of 'Influence' and was excited to closely study these 'pages' to further develop my knowledge in this space... Alas, not to be, perhaps, this book was written for a more introductory audience - if that's you, you're sure to love it.
Notwithstanding, if you're experienced in the field of influence, human behaviour and Influence, and looking to expand the breadth of your expertise, this is probably not the best book for you.
