Publisher Description

From Chris Widener, the author of the breakout bestseller The Angel Inside, comes an inspiring new parable on the power of influence. The Art of Influence will make you think twice about everything you've ever learned about influence. As Chris Widener’s inspiring story reveals, it’s not something you "do" to other people but rather something that starts with how you shape and transform your own life. Forget about manipulation and slick fast-talking; The Art of Influence teaches that your ability to influence others begins from within.
