What factors cause someone to say yes? And which techniques most effectively use these factors to bring about such compliance? In his bestselling book, Robert Cialdini, former salesperson, fundraiser, and advertiser, and current professor of social psychology, examines the science and practice of persuasion and compliance. Praised for its enjoyable writing, practical suggestions, and scientifically documented content, prior editions have been widely read by business professionals, fundraisers, and those interested in psychology. The new edition includes:
•  twice as many first hand accounts of how the book’s principles apply to business and personal lives;
•  updated coverage of popular culture and new technology; and
•  more on how compliance principles work in many cultures.

–TOM PETERS, The Tom Peters Group

  • More neuroscience evidence of how the influence process works, integrated throughout.  For instance, brain imaging research is presented showing how the “Expensive = good” heuristic operates to lead people to experience more costly items as better than (identical) less costly ones.

  • Twice as many Readers Reports - first person accounts in which readers of previous editions describe how they’ve seen a principle work on or for them.  These Reports have become the most popular feature of the book.
