books about: influence     books:       Chariots of the Gods215 reviews Berkley, 1999 Free Thinking I got this book after watching a special on Ancient Aliens. I read the book and it is very good. It gives you questions to ask yourself and doesn't try hard to make you believe in the Ancient Astronaut Theory it just makes you think a little harder about our history             Foreign Influence: A Thriller36 reviews Atria, 2010 "Foreign Influence" lays the groundwork for a bigger story to come "Foreign Influence" is not a story for the weak of heart in matters of national security, or squeamish in the matters of intelligence gathering. If you are the person that turns from the screen when Jack Bauer holds an ink pen to the eye of a terrorist on "24" - this is not the book for you. It takes an unflinching look at situations and people that many folks, sleeping in their warm beds at ...             Influence145 reviews Allyn & Bacon, 2008 Great book with ideas that anyone can benefit from. This was a great book. I come from a technical background, and as most people know engineers are horrible at influencing others. But this book taught me a lot of simple ideas that are applicable in helping to motivate others to my point of view and also how to recognize when others are using these techniques and how to defend against them. The book has 6 different concepts and it goes into ...             American Institutions and Their Influence Public Domain Books, 2005 This book was converted from its physical edition to the digital format by a community of volunteers. You may find it for free on the web. Purchase of the Kindle edition includes wireless delivery.             ANTHEM557 reviews MacMay, 2008 We Are Lemmings Being Led By the Least of Us I read this book for a graduate class in political philosophy. Ayn Rand (1905-1982), in this book written in 1937, expertly refutes collectivists schemes; such as, Communism and Fascism and shows the utter peril that collectivism poses to individual freedom. One of my favorite historians, Lord Acton, warned us in the 19th century "that socialism is slavery." This is a short novel about a ...             Role Models13 reviews John Waters Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2010 He's wonderful.... Not much you can say about John Waters except wonderful, great, hilarious, insightful, touching. His writing is not just entertaining it is enlightening in that he is so objective. I love him and plan to read all of his books.             Influence331 reviews HarperCollins e-books, 2009 A Must Have, a Must Read, a Must Internalize Book...

Recently, however, a colleague of mine was teaching both novels in comparison, and used the forward to Amusing Ourselves to Death as an inspiration. Somehow, I had never heard of this book, but I was so interested ...             Influencer : The Power to Change Anything177 reviews McGraw-Hill, 2007 Simply Amazing! This book will make you more effective in your personal and professional lives. I suggest taking notes while you are reading. It is that practical. The examples are excellent. The concepts are explained thoroughly. I am currently contemplating developing a professional development class based on the teachings shared here. The ROI on this book is incredible.             Intellectuals and Society46 reviews Thomas Sowell Basic Books, 2010 Intellectuals and Society is an All-time Top 10 I think one of these days I am going to publish a list of the top 10 books that every single thinking person has to read. For a conservative like myself, there are books that have played a formative role in developing, defining, and defending an ideology. Hayek's The Road to Serfdom and Kirk's The Roots of American Order come to mind - classic works that no serious conservative reader would ...             The End of Days70 reviews HarperCollins e-books, 2008 Very informative and interesting This book in the author's series is mostly about cosmic timing, about why watching the heavens was so important for ancient people. They were expecting a return of their "gods", from space, and also the return of a great celestial body they called Nibiru, that returns to our solar system from time to time, often causing cataclysms and other huge changes on earth. Mr. Sitchin has done ...             Albion's Seed : Four British Folkways in America99 reviews Oxford University Press, 1991 What makes America great? I'm not a history major - I'm just a seasoned business manager confused and frustrated by the evident and 'in-your-face' social and governmental destruction of our American culture and our historically successful way of life. We have become so conflicted as a people in recent years - we have become so divided in our politics and in our views of government. On the one hand we have the ...             There Were Giants Upon the Earth: Gods, Demigods, and Human Ancestry: The Evidence of Alien DNA (Earth ...11 reviews Zecharia Sitchin Bear & Company, 2010 Do we want to learn the truth? Do we, humanity want to learn the truth about our origin and history? If you have the courage and the curiousity to look at humanity and it's history in a very different way from what we learned at school or in bible studies, then this book is for you! Meticulously researched and presented it is a delight to read. I read it in one and a half days and I was sad when I finished it.             The 360 Degree Leader: Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization63 reviews Thomas Nelson, 2006 Very worthwhile reading! Great book . . . just a note to say that it mentions availability of an online leadership assessment, instructing you to look for the access number on the dust jacket flap, but there is no dust jacket on the Kindle edition and therefore no access number. That turns out to be ok, because you can take the assessment anyway by going to the website itself. No number is needed.             Common Nonsense: Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance45 reviews Alexander Zaitchik Wiley, 2010 Lambs to slaughter As an active member of the Ignorant Party, beck is only to willing to exploit the racist home-schooled members of his cult. He spouts self made drama akin to the original National Socialist Party of Germany in the 1920's, and the ignorant/wanting people of Germany gladly believed. And Hitler rose to power. beck is the closest thing to a propagandist for Hitler America has ever seen. A cult ...             Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking1159 reviews Malcolm Gladwell Little, Brown and Company, 2005 Excellent survey of social psychology I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in social psychological phenomena. My personal favorite study was the one done by Paul Ekman where Ekman demonstrated the universality of people's facial expressions. An excellent follow-up to this book is Social Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. Goleman gets more into the mechanics of the snap decisions people make.             Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust76 reviews Wiley, 2009 More than just a Web/Social Media Book Trust Agents is definitely worth the read. It is well written and actionable, but it also holds some almost-hidden wisdom. The reader may think of the concepts presented in the book as "Social Media" tactics, but really the authors have done more. They have outlined some great concepts that can be utilized in business to business sales. As you read, think about how you can apply the ...             The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music38 reviews Berkley, 2008 Must Read for Serious Musicians I"m a professional musician.

The paralelles he draws are so incredibly detailed and meticulously documented that he leaves no doubt in one's mind that he is at the very least a master in the sciences, religions, history, and languages of the ancient past, as well as the present.
