This is an enticing, exciting, and marvelous book! Reading Influencer: The Power to Change Anything is akin to watching an enjoyable movie filled with captivating characters and riveting plots. It uses the most powerful tool in the world for persuading people... and literally cracks the code for changing human behavior.
On the day I received my copy I experienced the perfect storm. My wife was having withdrawal symptoms with her diet, my son was entering puberty with a vengeance, and my daughter graced our presence with her monthly visit (looking like someone else's daughter).
I could have coped with all of this ... until my dog decided he was no longer buying into the mantra of "man's best friend". I was going to give them my I-am-king-of -this-castle speech until I read chapter three which was entitled: "Change the Way You Change Minds". Besides, the last time I gave that speech ... I had to move into a new castle.
I solved all problems with my adorable family (hey, they might read this review) and learned effective strategies for dealing with other obstacles in social, business, and political environments. "Crucial Conversations", another collaborative effort by some of the authors, dealt with resolving conflicts and influencing people by being persuasive and not abrasive.
Their current venture introduces the reader to fascinating programs and proven-methods used by experts around the world. The book shows you where it works, why it works, and how to work it. I plan to buy additional copies for my family, friends, and business associates; as I consider it a perfect-reference handbook.
When it comes to altering behaviors the authors feel you need to help others answer only two questions: Can they do it? Is it worth it? I encourage you to purchase "Influencer". Not only is it in a class by itself, you can do it ... and it is worth it!
(From quoting Johnson, USA)
