Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive Audiobook

" Wonderful book, examples that stay with you. Very useful read. "

" Some intuitive, some non-intuitive ways to get people to give you more money/time/attention--ethically. "

" 50 ways to be persuasive! It's written simply and clearly. Its additional value is in the suggestions/recommendations that the authors provided in increasing our persuasiveness. "

" I thought this book had some good idea for marketers mostly, even the ideas that seem obvious and simple. I felt it was more marketing you products in a persuasive way than being persuasive in your general life. "

" I feel sorry for Guy Kawasaki if this is among the top 10 business books he read. "

" Very applicable, helpful, and enjoyable book full of ideas that could help anyone become more persuasive. "

" this book makes some really good points about the little things you can do to improve your chances of a "yes" answer "

" Excellent! Simple, yet profound and ethical ways of tweaking speech, presentations, and human interaction to achieve more positive results. "

" An odd sort of summary of a whole bunch of psychology studies... I enjoyed it, but found that the book was lacking a common thread to tie the whole thing together. No real narrative, just a series of short ideas. "

" really useful book, althoug the first one by the author is way better "

" I'd give it 3.5 stars. Predictably Irrational was a bit more interesting and made some similar points. This was shorter and a bit more to the point. "

" Work-sponsored reading. Soon, I will persuade you all. mwahahaha. "

" It was fine. Basic manipulation 101. Example, give your boss three choices with your preferred choice in the middle bracketed by two others, etc. "

" Eh, it's pretty standard stuff so far "

" I liked it a lot. Short stories, good examples, a quick read. "

" Nice points, though some seem kinda sketchy or random. "

" I liked that each tool of the 50 was short and to the point. This makes the book easy to go back to, when needed, to select the appropriate tools for your purgation efforts. Each tool is accompanied with research that supports it (hence, "scientific ways"). "

" This book could be stripped of its rambling blah blah blah and turned into 50 easy-to-understand Powerpoint slides, so get the print copy and skim. "

" A relatively decent book on how we can appeal ourselves "

" Unlike most books on persuasion Yes! is delightfully data driven. Most of the recommendations center around making people feel good, special, or self reflection which never really stunned anyone but its nice to have empirical backing. "

" Do you think salespeople manipulate the general public. Read this to find out how. It is written as a warning for the buyer but being sold to the salesperson. I am now using these techniques to sell houses. :) "

" I'd give it 3.5 stars. Predictably Irrational was a bit more interesting and made some similar points. This was shorter and a bit more to the point. "

" I was looking for a copy of Cialdini's Influence but I found this book to do the job.I think it is a must read especially if you deal with a huge team on a day-2-day basis. "

" Excellent resource for what works in marketing. Short, easy-to-read chapters that quickly illustrate a principle of influence and motivation based on scientific research. If you want to increase your marketing effectiveness, this book can really help! "

" I enjoyed this book, but it is light and filled with antidotes. "Influence" was a better book and more informative. This book repeated some of the information in "Influence", but did not spend as much time explaining the reasons. "

" This has some pretty good information about how to influence others, especially in the context of marketing. "

" Having come recommended I thought that this book was poor. Glib, lightweight and little practical value. "

" Cialdini's first major book, _Influence_, is indispensable. This isn't. "

" Very applicable, helpful, and enjoyable book full of ideas that could help anyone become more persuasive. "

" There's a lot of "studies" out there. "

" I'm reading it a second time! "

" I liked it a lot. Short stories, good examples, a quick read. "

" This is the watered-down crappy version of Influence, which is a fine book. Read Influence and skip this. Also note that it's not the same book as "Getting to Yes" which is also a fine book. "
