The author which has an alluring cover makes a bold statement "How to make people do what you want". This might deter some readers into thinking they have to force people to mindlessly do what you want but its really a way to tell you its possible but not meant literally.
Its not easy to be an introvert and speak in public, or speak to anyone and convince them on a certain subject. This book harnesses what advice is best and consolidates it to tell you the facts. The main one in my opinion being confident. If you can grapple your confidence or lack of it, you will reach new heights you never though you could. It further breaks you down and explains many reasons why your not as successful. It helps find the negativity and get rid of it so you come into any conversation ready and without a doubt that your point will come across. The book in my opinion is amazing. It may give you facts about sales and persuasion that you may not like but at the end its all true and its used every day, whether people like it or not. Life is not for the faint of heart, and especially for those that cant stand up and state their thoughts and opinions with conviction and confidence. Great job!

You can bring the horses to water but ...
I did a two-year international MBA program and the most memorable quote from the entire study remains:"You can bring the horses to water but you can't make them drink."In other words, you can, for example, (1) put your product in the store, (2) create your best pizza, (3) state your opinion but it doesn't mean (1) people are going to buy it, (2) they're going to like it or (3) they'll agree with you.So i struggled a bit with the "daring" and hyped title but I have to give the author credit for such a bold claim.Then the author writes things like:"It wasn't until after spending many years in a career in sales and marketing and having learned about the fundamentals of human psychology and the art of persuasion that I started to learn that communicating effectively is a mastery that is learned and practiced. It's a skill that's honed over the years, not something that we just have."The author keeps winning me over with these statements wherein resides the ideas of:1.) We're not born knowing how to persuade2.) But we can learn it3.) We can get better if we practice4.) Especially if we have a good teacher.The author is a good teacher. :-) This book is his classroom. If you'd like to learn how to better use persuasion in your personal and professional life, this is an excellent place to do so.
