Format: Hardcover
I've seen the author on TV and read his earlier books. Dr. Luntz's passion for understanding people and crafting messages that will persuade them is clear. In this book he uses personal stories of successful individuals to illustrate his principles of effective communication. The book delivers on its promise of explaining how good communication works and how to use the author's insight to do it better ourselves.

For me, the most valuable aspect of the book is that it goes beyond putting the right words together. As Luntz explains, the style of communication is just as important to the eventual success as the substance. This book gives recommendations on both substance and style, along with concrete examples of how his techniques have been used successfully.

I've used the tips in his book "Words That Work" for the past few years and I've been amazed at how effective they are - my daughter even used some of them in her run for student council president! "Win" is even more focused and relevant, and Luntz's straightforward approach makes his recommendations easy to understand and employ. It's a perfect field guide to measurable results.

This book has taken some of the greatest minds from every aspect of life including business men and women, billionaires, multi-millionaires, innovators, politicians from both sides of the aisle, sports stars and coaches. The knowledge acquired from these winners has been transformed into an easy to read journey to understand their winning mindset. The beliefs that these special people use are also set up and explained in the book by a master communicator.

The ability to have multiple perspectives from these winners will give you the ability to weave through what may help you. There are plenty of stories, quotes and even narration from Dr, Lutz along with his observations and his unique insight.
If you need some ideas for a presentation, a speech or to get your employees fired up its in here.

Once you read the book you may have a different opinion on what it takes to win or it just may underscore and enhance what you have already learned. Whether you are a salesperson, a coach or just someone who wants to understand winning better to get an upper hand this book is for you.

The first 4 chapters were great. I highlighted, made notes, and relished what I learned. Chapter 5 was somewhat disappointing as many of the SAME principles (although with different names) were revisited. By the 6th chapter, appropriately named "PERFECTION" the author was 'perfecting' the past 6 chapters AGAIN. Chapter 7 was a disaster with the SAME stories in previous chapters...Frank-I got it the first and second time around. I don't need to be BEAT over the head! The 8th and 9th
chapters were somewhat refreshing but the 10th and 11th chapters started the 'I read this before' feelings again.
If you are lazy; therefore you probably wouldn't be reading this book; you might find it entertaining and
helpful. If you are HIGH energy and want to GET SOMETHING DONE...this is not the book for you. It will suit those
who are detailed, slow, methodical, and meticulous much better. I couldn't wait to get it OVER with, apply what I had
learned in the first 4 chapters, and MOVE ON!

Short version: Use it but don't fall for it. Don't celebrate it. Skim the gray sections and revisit it.
Rating 2.5/5 If I had to commit to a whole number I'd lean to give the book a very soft 3. There are better biz books out there.

This book disguises itself as a business book, but is riddled with distracting political rhetoric and worship of the cult of celebrity. From the man that brought you Words That Work among others, Luntz should stick to presenting what he knows best; polling data for effective language. In this book, he presents "Win" as a combination of interviews/profiles of winners mixed with sections of Words That Work.

he Good
The Words That Work sections and various Luntz Lessons are worth reading. The conclusion was also well written and had far less political distractions. These saved this book from a 1 star rating.

Why it Belongs on Your Shelf or Coffee Table

It's a good critical thinking test to measure business colleagues, to see if they follow suit or can identify holes.
It's a challenge to read and will help you develop patience.
What it lacks will help you discern your values.
Read it so you can use it but don't fall for it.
There is some useful advice and vocabulary that can be easily located in the grayed call -out sections.
The hardcover edition (which I own), would make a suitable weapon.
Unlike Luntz, I find it important to derive wisdom from any experience
Provides a great way to know thy enemy as I promise you many who practice the art of corporate douchebaggery and ameteur salesmen will worship this book.
Ultimately, I kept in mind it was better than the first Twilight movie, which pumps up it's score.
