Very, very dated... avoid!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2022

I carefully read the reviews before purchasing this book and am so disappointed with it. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone as it is a pretty expensive book and contains about 5 or so interesting case studies at max.

Whilst I appreciate the thought and knowledge that has gone into writing this book, it is so, so dated. Many of the examples and case studies presented to make a point are in no way relevant to the present day and I am going to assume this book is aimed at an American audience (and not a British audience). For example, there is discussion of tactics salespeople use to persuade buyers to make a purchase at Tupperware parties and for door to door sales (FYI a lot of it is about peer pressure). However, none of those are relevant to me because I'm younger and 99% of my purchases are done online. I just felt like so much of the book was completely irrelevant. It helped me better understand the tactics salespeople have used in the past and why they worked, but here was very little reference to how we are influenced by things today and the impact of doing pretty much everything online. I also couldn't see how a lot of the book could be applied to the world of work (which is primarily why I bought it).

I have read his previous book. Writer’s revised version packed with up to date information and warning sign for not to get conned by conned artist. Everybody should have a copy of this book. Say no to exploiters.

Really eye opener

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2021

Without being dramatic and by putting the influence principles clearly and in a structured way in the book, the author successfully opens the mind to the subtelties of influence, recognizing it as.well as defending against it when it's used nefariously. There is some repeating information that I could go without, that's about the only negative thing.

A must read !!

If you want to understand better how the human psyche works and how are manipulated by small tricks, this is the book to read. Easy to read, great examples and it will make you understand why you ended up buying that blender that you really didn't need.
