The Art of Persuasion teaches you how to get what you want when you want it. You would love to have that ability, right? After studying some of the most successful men and women in modern history, author Bob Burg noticed how many common characteristics these people have - and shares them all with you. One trait that stands above all the rest is their ability to win people over to their way of thinking - they were all persuasive. Each of these life winners had a burning desire, coupled with great creativity, and a total, unshakable belief in their mission or cause. Winning principles you will learn include: Making People Feel Important Everything is Negotiable Dealing with Difficult People Persuasion in Action What Sets You Apart from the Rest Nuggets of Wisdom Presented in everyday, clear, and often humorous language, The Art of Persuasion leaves an impression on you that will last a lifetime - filled with one success after another! Review: Polite, patient, and persistent - I truly enjoyed reading this book. I myself and many others could take many recommendations from it. Throughout reading the book I have realized many things that I do could be done in a more respectful and caring way. I loved the examples the book gave as well as the stories. The stories may not relate to my life exactly as the experiences in the book but it is very broad in the way of using the techniques for any situation. I have and will continue to keep molding myself in my work and everyday life with techniques given. Even if you are not trying to sell something or yourself this book will genuinely help shape you into a better person. Review: Easy Read, Great Perspective, Useful Information - I really enjoyed this book. Bob Burg does a great job presenting some practical conversational tools that can be and are effective in creating interactions with positive results. Although none of the information presented is revolutionary nor supported by any psychological studies, the premise of his advice is based upon the Golden Rule. This book is equally useful either as a quick read if you're looking for a crash course, general-theory-type understanding, and as a tool for slow-reading and heavy contemplation. Ive only read a handful of self-help books, but I can honestly say this is one of those books I will re-read every couple months to reinforce its lessons. Do yourself a favor and purchase this title.

Good resource about persuasion in different situations
The art of persuasion is more or less about the things we already know, but it has be written in a really informative way and easy to understand, learn and adapt into your daily life.

Great book, I learned a lot of how to deal with people through this book. There seemed to be a lot of loose ideas towards the end though.

Art and Science
The book is called The Art of Persuasion, but even though it's an easy read, it could just as accurately be called The Science of Persuasion. The author has a deep understanding of human nature and human interactions.

So much goodness in these pages.
Bob you are fabulous! Thank you so much for your books. I absolutely loved this one too! This book is filled with so much useful advice not just in how to persuade others but in how to become a trully fabulous person through kindness, respect, and compassion for others. This should be taught in schools. This book is brilliant I will be re reading it and instilling all the lessons and advice into my being. Thank you once again for a beautifully heart centred book. Just a little side note, there are a few typos and missed words here and there that the edirors might want to spruce up. I have the kindle version. But other than that the book is a gold mine of goodness and other book referals. I have alot of reading to do now 😊.

Keep Looking
Bob Burg is a Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie clone. He really doesn't add much to what these authors have had to say already with the exception that Burg does attempt to add some NLP concepts. You can do better.

Good book
A really nice piece. I feel like Bob has read the biography of prophet Muhammad. In many occasions it's exactly what prophet Muhammad suggested us. Check following Hadith (saying of Prophet Muhammad: “The strong person is not the one who can overpower others, but the one who controls himself when he is angry.”

The Power to Move Minds: The Art of Persuasion in Everyday Life!!!!
The Art of Persuasion is a quick, practical guide that gets right to the heart of what it means to get things done and inspire positive change. I loved how this book makes it clear that real progress—whether in your own life or in helping others—comes down to mastering the skills of persuasion. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to make things happen, connect with people, and leave a lasting impact.
