Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, Revised Edition by Robert B. Cialdini

 

What a great book. I used the audio version and really enjoyed the insights the writer shares as to the psychology behind makes people say ‘yes’.

It shares 6 principles that are, reciprocation, commitment and consistency, social proof, authority, liking and scarcity.

Now for the purpose of my review I have no desire to delve into the 6 principles and any great details but would highly recommend you get your self a copy of this book and have a read, or listen in this case.

So why? Why would this have any relevance to my mission, the hidden why.

091: Gregg Levoy| Author, Speaker, Teacher, Thought Leader, Inspiration, Zombies & Vampires

Summary

“Find the place where your deep gladness meets the place where the world is in deep hunger.”

 

Gregg Levoy is the author of best selling books, Vital Signs and Callings. He is a former “behavioral specialist” at USA Today, and a regular blogger for Psychology Today. He is a lecturer and seminar-leader in the business, educational, governmental, faith-based and human-potential arenas, inspiring people to create a life that is not simply a knock off.

We start off the conversation talking about our fascination with vampires & zombies and how that relates to the culture we exist-one that is anxious about having the life sucked out of us. The fascination may also exist out of the desire to want more excitement and variety in our lives, an opportunity to experience another reality that exists beyond our current and perhaps dull or boring existence.

On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction  by William Zinsser

Zinsser was a master writer. He has written over 18 best sellers and countless of other essays, weblogs, & publications over his lifetime. This book is one that I have many authors recommend reading including Tim Ferris- author of the 4 Hour Work Week.

What I enjoyed about his book is the practical tips, methods and principles that Zinsser shares from the very first page. I was enthralled with his with his ability to communicate his message- educating me while also holding me down. I didn’t want to stop reading.

Some of the principles I have become to understand such as using simplicity in writing and also the need to remove clutter. The principles allow the reader to remain involved without getting distracted or losing any understanding. There were many principles however that were new to me.

Summary

Niklas is a young and enthusiasti-action coach who is on his on personal transformational journey and has a great deal to share about life, following you passions and doing what it takes to continually improve yourself.

Not so long ago, life for Nik wasn’t grand. He was nowhere near a meaningful relationship, shy and fearful, worried about what everyone else thinks, bad habits, and lack of exercise and in all no real clue of what he wanted in life.

Then he discovers personal improvement. The idea was to focus on improving in four key aspects important to living a successful life- mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional health. If you just improve 1% each day then over the course of your life you will become a master- the cumulative affects of this are huge. Inspired by James Altucher.
