Editorial Reviews

Review

“Robert Cialdini has done the impossible: he has improved a masterpiece. The new version of Influence is a marvelously rich and engaging account of the subtle power that people exert on each other.” -- Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize laureate and author of Thinking, Fast and Slow and Noise

“If there is only one book you’ll ever read, if there is only one expert whose advice you’ll trust, it should be this book and this author, Robert Cialdini.” --
Angela Duckworth, author of Grit and founder and CEO of Character Lab

“This is the most important book ever written about the science of persuasion, and it just keeps getting better. I can’t imagine a more fascinating, more practical read.” --
Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Originals and host of the TED podcast WorkLife


"Anyone who wants their abilities in communication or negotiation to be at their highest level
has to read Robert Cialdini's book Influence. Your knowledge base is simply incomplete without it." -- Chris Voss, author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Never Split the Difference

Influence is now even more practical and powerful. The new principle of unity alone is a game changer. Bravo!” -- BJ Fogg, Ph.D., founder of Stanford’s Behavior Design Lab

“The clouds have parted for everyone who wants to dent the universe. A new edition of what is already indispensable just got more so.” --
Guy Kawasaki, chief evangelist of Canva and creator of the Remarkable People podcast

"In this update of his classic book, the world's most practical social psychologist shares his wisdom and reveals his charm. There's dynamite here. Please use what you learn with care!" --
Richard Thaler, Nobel Prize laureate and author of Nudge and Misbehaving

Influence. It’s a tour de force that Cialdini has somehow made more marvelous.” -- Katy Milkman, professor at the Wharton School, host of the Choiceology podcast, and author of How to Change


“A phenomenal book! Whether you seek to boost sales, strike a better deal, or improve your relationships,
Influence offers scienti?cally tested principles that can change your life.” -- Daniel L. Shapiro, Ph.D., founder and director of the Harvard International Negotiation Program and author of Negotiating the Nonnegotiable

Influence richly deserves its status as the de?nitive book on the subject. I learned so much from this revised edition, and so will you.” -- Tim Harford, author of The Data Detective (US)/How to Make the World Add Up (UK)
