This book has lots of things to teach you .
Simple comic book and quirky Great and fast read and fun and to the point. I really enjoyed it. Highly recommend to people that are visual learners.
So many good examples laid here.
interesting stuff...
Well written lessons of influencing and persuasion, yet I felt that the comic itself had absolutely nothing to do with the stories themselves.
I am excited for the actual book since the comic was a bit of a dull reading experience to me.
Informatia din cartea originala este extrem de pretioasa, dar modul in care este integrata in benzile animate nu ajuta la o intelegere mai usoara, ci din contra, incurca. Oricum, pentru un rezumat animat nu e chiar atat de nereusita cartea.
I hope the book is better, the comic was so boring and badly structured. It just jumped from one idea to another and it made no sense most of the times. Not recommended.
Influence is a book that tells you how to be influential. A lot of interesting studies are included in the book. Some of the things I have learned:Society values people more if they appear consistent in beliefs, attitudes and deeds. You are more likely to get help from a stranger if you if you tell them why you need help.We live by a rule called “reciprocity.” If someone does something for you, you feel obligated to return the favor. Another factor is called social proof. People tend to decide w...
Warning: This can seem like a horror story, when you come to realize how much "Choice Architecture" has been used to advantage of us, without us most likely not even realizing it.
A better title would have been Manipulators. Having worked in sales for years, I fear that these tactics in this book are presented not for knowledge itself, certainly not for the well-being of the consumer, but for the benefit of the salesman's bottom line. Here are a few things I tell my friends and family to keep in mind when dealing with salespersons:1) Notice how nice they dress. It means they don't do any real work for a living and are likely untrustworthy. 2) It's not rude to say 'No.' It...
This book is not an option but a necessityDon't think twice because this book explains the basics of influence in the most fun manner. The comic book form makes it easy to read and unread.
Wisdom and common sense you can see now and "see" laterSome of what is in these pages was at the core of fatherly advice that my Dad drilled into me from very early in my life. Be aware of what is really happening. Eyes open. But then, OK, part of this material is new to me, at least in application to the culture I have grown up in, giving me the opportunity to think to myself, "oh...yeah...that is what is happening here. I see it now." Being a certifiable cynic all my life, I am finding what is...
Продовження неймовірно крутої книги "Психологія впливу" в якій автор великою мірою повторює себе додаючи практичні приклади від читачів.
Captivating. Cialdini’s work is well known in psychology and it’s no wonder why. Simply a fascinating read.
Over two million readers have armed themselves with the knowledge in this book. Dark forces seek to turn society into unthinking automatons by the use of weapons of mass influence. In this graphic adaptation of his best-seller, Robert B. Cialdini becomes society’s best hope in combatting compliance professionals throughout the world. He leads a team of special forces through a battleground filled with psychological sneak attacks designed to elicit pre-programmed responses from unknowing victims....
I had to read this for work. It was helpful. That is all. :D
Short, clear and practicalThe full book is much better, but this is a good intro. Helpful for someone trying to decide whether to buy the full book.
Influence: Science and Practice, The Graphic Edition by Robert B. CialdiniThis is a very interesting, little book which I have received from The Economist. Once in a while I take one of their surveys and I receive a book as a gift. This is the theory, in practice I do not always get the book and I wrote to them about it. To my deep disappointment, they did just about nothing about it.Coming back to the book, it reveals how easy it easy to influence people, or, indeed, to be influenced by those w...
Good way to spread the main points of Cialdini's workFor those who haven't yet read Robert Cialdini's Influence books, this comic is a quick and visual introduction to his theories about the 6 major methods of persuasion used in the world today.Once readers learn about these 6 categories--what Cialdini's calls the "weapons of influence "--they'll start to see those methods in everyday life. Advertising, marketing, day to day interactions. And as the author points out, not every usage of these pr...
