5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best business books I've read, July 9, 2002

Jeff Mowatt (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Secrets of Power Persuasion: Everything You'll Ever Need to Get Anything You'll Ever Want (Paperback)

Wow! I'm impressed! This is one of the best-researched, most thorough books on persuasion that I've had the pleasure of reading. Best of all - it's not just theory. The author, Roger Dawson adds tons of practical examples and applications for each technique. That means you can use this stuff immediately. By far one the best business books I've read in some time.

This review is from: Secrets of Power Persuasion: Everything You'll Ever Need to Get Anything You'll Ever Want (Paperback)

Great book. Extremely insightful. This book brings together lessons from many other disciplines and supplies new perspectives that are easy to apply. The book is easy to read and a diversified literary and historical background allow you to appreciate the subtle points that really demonstrate expertise in persuasion.
