I ordered this book over 11 days ago. I have yet to receive it. I have checked my account, the monies have been taken from the account. However, I have been left high and dry! How do I, either get my money back or obtain the property that I paid to get?

Having read over 50 books on influence, persuasion and communication I found this book the best companion to Cialdini's classic, Influence. Why? Because it is research-based yet very step-by-step practical. Plus it uses actual examples to anchor the concepts and steps to use.
For example , telling people what they should or should not do doesn't work. Instead, Albert Bandura advises, link people's actions to their values. Influence expert, William Miller told the authors of Influencer:
* "The more you try to control others, the less control you gain.
* The instant you stop trying to impose your agenda on others, you eliminate the fight for control.
* You sidestep irrelevant battles over whose view of the world is correct."
* Instead:
- Ask what better outcome someone wants, listening closely
- Then offer suggestions that help her reach those outcomes, offering steady support over time.

Wonderful book. Very well written. As a life coach and life long student of self improvement and change, I have to give this book 2 thumbs up! It carries in it the solutions to many of life's most vexing problems. The material is presented in a interesting a creative manner, yet it is understandable enough to allow you to apply the principles. It is definitely not a simple read, but the solutions it suggests are as complex as the problems it seeks to unravel. This is what makes the material so good. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to make permanent and lasting change in their life.

In psychology, there are two overarching generalizations of how people tend to view themselves in relation to the world around us. Most of us think we can either affect external circumstances and individuals, or we think the inverse - that externals affect us. The ability to impact the conditions and individuals beyond yourself can be summed up in the word `influence' and it is a skill that can be developed. According to the authors of the book Influencer, there are specific strategies and principles of influence that anyone can learn. This premise is based on the past 50 years of behavioral science findings that suggest practical ways we can change nearly anything in our lives. The writers enlist solid research and robust anecdotal evidence as they artfully lay out every step of the influence process that work toward change. To that end, Soundview highly recommends this book because of its optimistic and pragmatic belief that individuals can have a positive influence toward solving the most serious collective problems we face.
