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.

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.

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!

This is a great, straight-forward book with no filler bluff. It has key, applicable ideas that you can use right away.

Concise, Simple, Well Written, Powerful.

If you liked Unlimited Selling by Donald Moine or anything by Kevin Hogan then you MUST BUY this book.

Just a 106 pages. I have reread it at least 5 times. It is simple and easy to understand. One of the best books there is making language patterns simple and useable.

You will be amazed at how easy it is to influence people with these skills. Can you say Jedi Mind Control?

Do you want to learn hypnotic language patterns or NLP sleight of mouth patterns? Do you want to know how to use military recruiting language patterns?

If you are in sales you would be an idiot if you didn't BUY THIS BOOK.

If you are a trainer or manager please don't buy it. I would prefer to keep the secrets to myself and those I train.

This books is fantastic on persuasion. It is precise and clear on getting to the point quickly. I have it kept on my desk when wanting to use persuasion in my work or any other area of my life. Great book. When would now be a good time to purchase this book.

The book is a master work.It should have been named "The essence
of persuasion". Every word has power. Practicing the exercises and
working with the techniques ensures results at the 100% level.

This book shows you how to get what you want with easy to follow step-by-step techniques. Best of all- THEY REALLY WORK! Anyone can relax in a comfortable position and read the entire book from cover to cover because it's written in simplistic English to invigorate your sense of power.

There are many books available on the topic of persuasion and influence, but those books focus on what YOU SHOULD DO without showing you how to do it. This book illustrates in plain English how you can use the basic techniques of persuasion IMMEDIATELY. The book lays out recommended exercises to help you build your influential powers. There are examples of conversation methods proven to be useful in human interaction. The art of body language is also explored with supportive suggestions on how to make yourself likeable to everyone you meet.

If you have a craving for discovering happiness, THIS IS THE ONE book you want to read because the sooner you order it, the sooner you will feel an excited eagerness to reach your deepest desires.

"Power Persuasion" was written by David. R. Barron and Danek S. Kaus. Barron is a communication and persuasive expert trained in Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and Social Influence. Kaus is a former clinical hypnotist. He has trained doctors and nurses on how to use hypnotic medical techniques. Both authors apply their expertise into this book. They give you the techniques that you need to use to influence, friends, loved ones and business associates. They say that this book will "Give you the tools to help make your dreams come true."

Persuasion is defined as, "that seemingly magical ability to influence other people and yourself." The techniques offered here will give you a better understanding of how the mind works. Whether or not using these techniques is right or wrong is based upon your intentions of why you are using them. The authors do not recommend that you use these techniques for improper purposes. The goal is to do good for oneself and the other party involved.

Every chapter offers exercises to assist you with perfecting each technique. These are not skills which will be acquired overnight. The exercises are very interesting and seem fun. The goal of this practicing these techniques is to have fun and maintain your sense of humor. You will also need to set specific goals so that you will know exactly what you want. You will improve on your body language and conversation skills. Some of the techniques for these skills are derived from Neuro Linguistic Programming. These techniques will also help prevent miscommunication.

I found this book to be very interesting and easy to understand. I look forward to seeing how well I progress as I practice the exercises. To progress, I will be reading "Power Persuasion" many times. I see it as an invaluable tool for improving on my communication skills with others. The techniques presented including mirroring and matching will help in my communicating with people that have limited English skills. I encounter these people daily. In addition to becoming an expert at persuading others, I also feel that I will be able to recognize when others are using these techniques on me. All things considered, I highly recommend this book.

Received book free of charge.

that David Barron has some excellent audio and video products. I was really expecting great things from David when I purchased this book, based on some of the other quality items I have of his. But there is nothing new herein this very brief book that hasn't been covered more extensively in other and better NLP and sales related books such as Donald J. Moines' "Unlimited Selling Power," a must have for any sales person.

So, if you're familiar with NLP you'll find nothing new. If you're new to NLP and Hypnosis, there are better more extensive materials out there.
