INTRODUCTION In this book about communication, influencing, persuading and motivating, you will mainly read articles based on the theories of Roberto Cialdani, John Maxwell and Milton Erickson (Richard Bandler, John Grinder). Amongst other great books on the market place, I warmly recommend you to also read Mr. Stephen Covey's "The seven habits of highly effective people" and Mr. Dale Carnegy's pioneering book "How to win friends and influence people" that was first published in 1936 or 1937, but still is as interesting as it was almost a century ago. Influence includes being able to persuade, motivate and negotiate in order to get what you want. Imagine just for a moment how important it is to each of us to improve our ability to influence others: to make friends and inspire them, to win other people for our standpoint or to make business contacts and reach positive agreements with them. What if you were even only slightly more successful in this art? Just imagine the possible benefits for your personal life, your love life, your career, your social life, your personal happiness, your financial position! You know how important it is to educate yourself, to develop a vision, to plan, and to work towards your goals with flexibility and perseverance. Yet you also know that the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor does food always come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned. One of the main reasons why excellent people do not advance in their careers or fail in life, is because they don't realize the enormous importance of networking and communication. Knowledge and personal capacities are not enough to be successful. You need influencing skills to make it in this life! Since this great book about the art of influencing and persuading others, is composed of articles found in the public domain, which are freely accessible for anybody on the internet, it's only fair that you should also be able to download this book totally free of costs.
