Rating: - Buy It Because You Should Own It
This book is one of those rare occurences when an academic manages to beautifully strike a popular chord in presenting his/her field of expertise. However, beyond that, this book will transform the transactional aspects of your life.

Rating: - Disappointing - over promises and under delivers
Well, let's start by an admission, I'm only 1/2 way through so far. I'm writing because I feel the book is underdelivering on its core promise - that of being a way to improve ones own ability to persuade.

I can only highly reccomend this enjoyable and interesting reading, especially if you liase with people in your daily ... Read More

Rating: - Not bad, but...
This is not a bad book. Actually, I'm ok with having bought it here at Amazon. However, that was not my impression when I started in the first chapter; I thought "oh no, not again, another book of a wannabe self-proclaimed "guru"". From chapter 3 onwards it became better, but I have one serious problem with this book: I do understand Cialdini is an academic, but I really wish he would stop cluttering up the text with all these side steps to academic research; it's annoying. Just pose your statements, ... Read More
