Persuasion is a technique that you use on a daily basis, but how persuasive are you? Are you getting what you are seeking when attempting to persuade others? If not, it is time to start working on your ability to persuade. It is often thought that persuasion, and the techniques that fall under it, are only used for selfish reasons, but this is not true. In fact, being good at persuasion is needed to get ahead at work, form friendships and even when interacting with strangers.

Persuasion is a skill and one that you can develop with the right tips and information. This book is the first step in taking the necessary action to improve your persuasion skills. It starts with the basics of persuasion and allows you to assess how effective you currently are. From there, you will get several actionable tips to enhance your ability to persuade others.

The second chapter explores manipulation. You will see how it is used in the real world and learn about techniques and how to use these to your advantage. Hypnosis is next. This is a very interesting skill to have because it is not a common one. It is something that can aid you in getting more of what you want from people and your life.

This book introduces you to neuro-linguistic programming. This is a skill you want to know to acquire more advanced persuasion skills. This is followed by learning about deception and what you can do to improve your skills and utilize this persuasion technique to your advantage.

Mind games and mind control are the next skills you will learn about. You will be surprised about how these are used in everyday life. In fact, you likely fall victim to them quite regularly in ways you are not even aware of. When you know the basics and how to utilize these to enhance your persuasion abilities, not only can you benefit from them, but you will also have greater control over their impact on you.

Seduction is discussed in this book. This is a persuasion technique you definitely want to master since it plays a role in more than just your romantic relationships. You can use this for a number of things, such as getting a promotion at work.

The last chapter looks at subliminal psychology. This is a very interesting topic that you likely have not heard about. You will explore a number of examples of how you already see it in action in the world today. From here, you will learn how to increase your skills and start to use this type of psychology to your advantage.

By improving your persuasion skills, you are able to enhance every area of your life. Just know that improving your skills takes time, so starting your journey now means that you will be able to better persuade others sooner. Make sure to keep this book close at all times so you always have a solid reference on the art of expert persuasion.

If only there was a way I could give this book less than a 1/5. I normally try to keep my ratings professional but bloody hell, this is literary drivel. It presents itself to set out to make you a master of persuasion, but the only thing this persuades me to do is put whatever the largest caliber of bullet available is in Australia into a gun, put it into my mouth and fire. If I could revive myself and do it again on loop I would. The closest it gets to any psychological practice is neuro-linguistic programming and even then it's like a bad cut and paste from some alternative newspaper. The only reason why I'm giving it a 1 is that it would easily appeal to the Martin Skhreli's of the world. 30 minutes of my life I will never get back. Even if you like reading books about the art of manipulation (which is what this pretty much is), this would serve better as a drink coaster or something you use to prop up your wobbly table.

This book was a big disappointment.

I did expect a discussion about techniques and tricks we may all be victims of. The book description claims it will help you "start working on your ability to persuade", but in reality is merely a dump of search results - a raw listing of different techniques: a title + a few sentences of a high level abstract. It's short and at the same time tries to cover virtually anything related to convincing others - from playing dumb to playing audio suggestions while they sleep.

You will learn more using any internet search engine.

Complete waste of time and money.

We like to read books on psychology. We found that Persuasion: Dark Psychology - Secret Techniques To Influence Anyone Using Mind Control, Manipulation And Deception by R.J. Anderson was a good survey into what types of influence are available today.

You are not going to learn how to turn your friends into mindless zombies simply by reading this. Some people today are already there and need no persuasion.

We give this book all five stars. We think it helps people learn a little more about psychology.

Es una lectura fácil y sencilla, se torna un poco aburrida en algunas páginas puesto que no es ninguna investigación profunda, más bien es la recopilación de datos aleatorios que puedes encontrar en cualquier libro de historia o psicología. No es como tal un libro que profundice en nada, me recuerda a esos artículos de páginas como "La mente es maravillosa" o "Muy interesante!". Es un artículo de revista largo, solo eso. Pienso que si el lector realmente quiere aprender técnicas de defensa contra los abusos psicológicos de sociópatas, narcisistas , etc. existen mejores lecturas como "The sociopath next door" de la Dra. Martha Stout.

Short and relevant

This is a really good book. It took me like 40 min to read and i didn't feel like i lost any minute while reading it.

Most books are like over 300 pages with the same information repeating itself over and over again with useless examples that does not really matter. This was right on point no bullshit no time wasted. Really good. I want to Thank the author for giving us this valuable information without wasting time.

Dice muchas cosas pero al final no dice nada prácticamente. Me costo bastante trabajo terminar este libro y su antecesor , ya que realmente no te da buenos consejos de cómo llevar a cabo las técnicas, y si los da, lo maneja de manera muy abierta sin dar los detalles importantes que realmente funcionarían. O maneja ejemplos sin sentido, y en algunos casos ni se centra en la idea principal. No se si pueda continuar con la saga de este autor, cada libro me va decepcionando más
