5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best business books I've read, July 10, 2002

By	Jeff Mowatt (Canada) - See all my reviews

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.

Roger Dawson has a great writing style. He presents lots of information, broken into very easy to grasp chapters, filledwith major point highlights and review questions. A must read for those who wish to better their persuasive powers and selling skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets of Power Persuasion: Everything You'll Ever Need to, July 9, 2002

By	Jeffrey Hansler (USA) - See all my reviews

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.
