Get Persuasion: The Art Of Getting What You Want Developed By Dave Lakhani Presented As Document
writing voice is good and reinforced some ideas but overall was not “fresh”, The book is set up for people in sales and not a tool for a lot of other workplaces, Better off reading the obvious cornerstone “ How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie The best example on art of persuasion is how the author made buy this book.
It was fairly okay, but i had bigger expectations, i didn't like it to be honest but i also learned a couple things.
Very good book. You need for sue to practice what you learned, Attempted to listen to the audiobook but I couldn't into it, уншиж эхлэж байхад өндөр хүмүүс л бараг амжилтанд хүрсэн байдаг . гэдэг ч юм уу энэ нь их сонин юм бичсэн бхын тэрнээс хойш унших ямар ч урамгүй сонин ном байна шүү гэж бодсоор байж арай гэж дуусгалаа . . ихэнх зүйлийг нь аль хэдийн амьдралдаа хэрэгжүүлээд заншчихсан зүйлс байсан болхоор цоо шинэ сурхаар зүйлс бараг ховор байлаа онц ном шиг санагдсангүй эээ Excult member explains persuasion, not the most helpful, but not completely useless Worth reading for every salesman or businessman, I picked up the audio version of this book from the library, and if it weren't for the format, I don't think I would've finished it.
Audio books are absolute clutch for commutes even if they're by bike,
This is definitely geared towards people in sales, which I am not, and while you can certainly extrapolate the techniques he speaks about and apply them to your daily life, I'd much rather read about them in that direct context.
Additionally, this particular book is meant as a very practical guide that doesn't go into any of the theory, and I'm very interested in the theory.
Really, this just made me want to read Influence Cialdini a bit more, موجه للمسوقين ورجال المبيعات وليس للفرد العادي كتاب لطيف وغير معقد بالمرة يعتمد على ذكر الأخطاء الصغيرة التي تجعل منك غير مقنعا ينتمي الكتاب لفئة كتب التنمية البشرية إلا أنه يميل لانتمائه إلى كتب التسويق "الإقناع ليس مجرد مهارة للبيع وإنما هو مهارة للحياة".
متاح على هنداوي Asserts a lot of the usual sales idiologies: look the part, tell a story, etc, Maybe a good crash course in the practice, but not a compelling or revolutionary work, Some good principles discussed although the theme of the book was certainly geared toward sales and marketing, Several times, he made the distinction between persuasion and manipulation, and focused on the need to avoid manipulation which was appreciated, I really enjoyed this book, Lots of practical insights and applications, especially for business and sales, I'd like to read it again soon, When there are thirty plus pages of Preface, Introduction, Forward, Acknowledgements and Author's Notes you know it can't bode well, Lost interest when start saying that taller people are more persuasive because they are taller, And it's supposed to teach you conviction so would he learn you how to be taller, Or does short people can't be convincing! I can see how this book can be popular, but it is not my style.
The author reminds me of a snake oil salesman, The author talks about only making friends who are in powerful positions and can help you, Praise for persuasion the art of getting what you want "Dave has exposed the secrets of the most powerful persuaders in the world.
This book is a stepbystep guide to changing minds and deeply influencing people in person, in print, on the air, or anyplace else you need to persuade.
This book makes persuasion so easy and predictable that it may be the most dangerous persuasion book ever written, . . especially if it ends up in the hands of your competition, "

Dave convinced me to read and review his book, and I don't even like the guy, "

"Too few books actually put into practice what they promote.
Dave Lakhani breaks the mold with this satisfying, powerful read, "
John Klymshyn, author of Move the Sale Forward The content of this book was pretty good, but a bit too philosophical.
Just a couple examples to demonstrate the techniques that the author was proposing would have made a huge difference in understanding the concepts and how to use them in practice.
For example, one concept was that if you say things in a conversation that generate curiosity in the other person, then you become far more persuasive.
Ok, great idea but what does that look like in an actual conversation No idea, . .
I listened to the audiobook, I like how everything was listed in the beginning of the chapters and then expanded on, I thought it was helpful in reminding me or showing me things I sometimes overlook or take for granted, Made a promising start with some great psychological techniques that work really well, It degenerated about half way through into the standard marketing tips spiel you find everywhere, The problem is Lakhani assumes that his readers are going to use the techniques in sales,
marketing, advertising and business instead of self help.
I was also looking for generic techniques, Even though he draws a continually clear distinction between manipulation and persuasion, he just loses focus and tries to come across as a marketing guru.
In doing so, he gets carried away talking about technologies which quickly became irrelevant, So much of the content feels like filler, It is a shame, because true persuasion techniques on the other hand are timeless,
