The Art of Influence: Persuading Others Begins With You22 reviews
Chris Widener

Doubleday Business, 2008

A parable where you really care about the characters
Read THE ART OF INFLUENCE by Chris Widener . . . it is a short but powerful parable about a recent college graduate who learns valuable lessons from one of the country's wealthiest men. What made it so good was the fact that I really cared about the characters . . . they were believable, and their stories were interesting too. I also liked how the author revealed each of the four key ...

Gary L. Thomas

Zondervan, 2007

excellent read
I bought this book after recently getting married. Once I started reading it I could not put it down. It's one I definitely plan on reading again once we have been married a few years and the "new-ness" has worn off.
  
  











  



  
Influence: Science and Practice (5th Edition)126 reviews
Robert B. Cialdini

Allyn & Bacon, 2008

A good textbook
I purchased this title for an MBA course, 'The Causes of Corporate White Collar Crime'. It, along with quite a few case studies, makes up our reading content for this course. Cialdini does a thorough job of focusing on a number of topics of influence: reciprocation, consistency, social proof, liking, authority and scarcity. For each of these topics, Cialdini successfully incorporates many real ...

How to Win Friends and Influence People10 reviews
Dale Carnegie

Vermilion, 2007

Required reading for any entrepreneur
Paul Graham (Hackers and Painters) has mentioned that an important read for preparing to start your own business is How To Win Friends and Influence People. I'm happy to report that this gem from 1936 is timeless and truly life-changing. I believe Paul's reasons for the recommendation include: the importance of charisma, general rounding out one's personality, and finding ways to get ...

John C. Maxwell, Jim Dornan

Thomas Nelson, 2006

Becoming a Person of Influence
Excellent book. I think it's Maxwell's finest work. The book has depth and appears to be a combination of notes from his speeches as well as notes from seminars and lectures he's delivered.
  
  











  



  
Under the Influence: A Guide to the Myths and Realities of Alcoholism33 reviews
James Robert Milam, Katherine Ketcham

Bantam, 1984

Why this book is SO very important for families of alcoholics
I train counselors and counsel families of alcoholics, and when a family member is having a very difficult time (even though she is trying hard) to understand that this is a disease----I refer her to this book. This helps her to see so well, that his rage is because alcohol excites the rage-centers of the brain. And because she now understands this, she knows, then, that the crazymaking coming ...

Be well-liked, or popular, at school!
Seriously, this tells you HOW TO BE POPULAR, in the sense of being "well-liked". Dale Carnegie's daughter reveils the socializing secrets for girls here. It's one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read. This is an easy read, and it changed my life in terms of my social interactions.

Robert H. Gass, John S. Seiter

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

Great Book, Especially this time of Year
I'm writing this just at the end of the 2006 elections. I can't imagine how many millions were spent trying to persuade me that this candidate or that question on the ballot should be my choice. I'm astounded at how many phone calls I've received from Laura Bush, or that candidate who just wants to set the record straight about the lies her opponnent has been telling about her. And then there are ...
  
  











  



  
Arms and Influence (The Henry L. Stimson Lectures Series)3 reviews
Thomas C. Schelling

Yale University Press, 1967

subtle but very understandable
The greatest thing about this book is that Schelling makes it so readable. Unlike many scholar-type, who sometimes write in Martian, Schelling carefully dissect a delicate subject (arms, deterrence, and war) into explanable sections. The next thing that's good about this book is that it educates the readers on the subtlety in formulating responses to world events. People, who read this ...
