Great intro!

This book was a great introduction to the art of manipulation. It was a fast read, less than an hour, and I thought it was very well written and very well put together. I would highly recommend this book for people who want to begin learning about this subject!

Title is a little misleading.
This book was actually a quick and interesting read. Some things seem obvious but I did like the way he worded it… much more motivational then I expected based off the title.

1 hour read at most. Contents not worth the title

Very basic stuff, obvious to most. Was looking for another book with a similar or same title. Quickly realized this wasn't the book but it's a very quick read and it's not awful so I finished it.

The key is to find out what the other party wants and present your idea in a way to benefit them in order to influence them. Use it for good

The prose was bland, making it hard to stay engaged. But it has some useful advice at the end

[Tiffany Kim-Peria · Rating 3 out of 5]

The title is accurate, the description is misleading. Quick read while enlightening your mind.

[Brett Jackson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really dislike the title. That’s not the real premise of the book. I’d give it 4 stars, but the title is so off-putting.
