5.0 out of 5 stars Tools to Make Your Dreams Come True, August 8, 2006

This review is from: Power Persuasion: Using Hypnotic Influence in Life, Love and Business (Paperback)

David Barron and Danek Kaus in "Power Persuasion" have provided an amazing strategy for helping you make your dreams come true. They provide step by step instruction, using many of the most powerful persuasion tools and techniques available. The book will show you how to influence people by developing the magical art of persuasion.

I am eager to put into practice some of these skills in my business and social relationships to encourage others to believe in themselves helping them to attain the realization of their goals

The authors use military linguistic patterns in examples to illustrate how to use lead questions and statements in a conversational style to produce logical choices based on perceived anticipated benefits. I enjoyed the challenge of learning to use "weasel words," "embedded commands," "modal operators," and "metaphors" in the process of influencing others.

You will be amazed at the new positive behavior you experience as you work through the suggested exercises. These exercises are designed to stimulate your imagination, your communication, and your persuasive skills. You will learn how to develop the use of your subconscious mind, how to improve your sensory acuity, and how to recognize when you have established rapport in a relationship.

Put this book on the top of your "must read" list. You will find it to be one of the most powerful instructional tools available today.

5.0 out of 5 stars They MADE ME buy this book, June 24, 2005

This review is from: Power Persuasion: Using Hypnotic Influence in Life, Love and Business (Paperback)

Yes, no doubt I LOVE this book.

I also have Cialdini's "Influence" and books by Kevin Hogan and the like. POWER PERSUASION gets right down to the heart of how to use language to influence and persuade.
[...]
The thing I liked most was how Barron and Kaus describe the attitude of a military recruiter persuading young kids into four years of military servitude!

It's a laugh and a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars $1,000 Seminar In A Book!, June 23, 2005

This review is from: Power Persuasion: Using Hypnotic Influence in Life, Love and Business (Paperback)

David Barron is simply amazing. He's culled an amazing amount of persusaive data from the best of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and condensed it into this jam packed book! And what's more you don't have to have any knowledge of NLP to be able to use it! If you've wanted to delve into the "secrets" of NLP's Rapport and Persuasive speaking but were put off by the sheer complexity of the NLP jargon - or the ridiculous amounts of money the NLP Gurus charge to learn this, then this book will seem like a God send to you!

From page one, you're taught how to use rapport & once you master that, David takes you on thru Meta patterns of language on thru the covert Military patterns onto the infamous "Sleight-of-Mouth" patterns.

Whether you're in sales, persusasive speaking or just want to get a leg up on your competition, this book will definitely help IF you take the time to read it and then APPLY it to your own situation. I found if I took the material David presents and overlay it onto the script I normally use, I found places where I could beef up what I was saying using these patterns.

Many of the NLP gurus out there want to bankrupt you to learn their methods and then say that your results will justify the expense. David's material in this book is heavyweight & packs just as much punch as the other "gurus" running around charging thousands of dollars for.

And if you're in sales, like I am, I highly recommend using the Military Linguistic Patterns with the standard objects you get. For changing your client's beliefs, use the Sleight-of-Mouth patterns. There is just so MUCH here to learn! I highly recommended you getting this book!
