Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
When it comes to persuasion, success can begin before you say a word. In his global best seller Influence, Professor Robert Cialdini transformed the way we think about persuasion. Now he offers revelatory new insights into the art of winning people over: it isn’t just what we say or how we say it that counts but also what goes on in the moments before we speak. This is the world of ‘pre-suasion’, where subtle turns of phrase, seemingly insignificant visual cues and apparently unimportant details of location can prime people to say yes even before they are asked.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 310
Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in 21st century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Publisher's Summary
At some point today you will have to influence or persuade someone - perhaps ask a colleague a favour, negotiate with a contractor or get your spouse to put out the recycling.
In The Small BIG, three heavyweights from the world of persuasion, science and practice - Steve Martin, Noah Goldstein and Robert Cialdini - describe how, in today's information-overloaded world, it is now the smallest changes that lead to the biggest differences in results.
Offering deceptively simple suggestions and explaining the extensive scientific research behind them, The Small BIG presents over fifty small changes - from the little adjustments that make meetings more effective to the costless alteration to correspondence that saved a government millions.
The Small BIG is full of surprising, powerful - and above all, tiny - changes that could mean the difference between failure and success.

An excellent overview of persuasion
As it has been broken down Ito chunks, this book lends itself well to the audiobook format.
I've just finished it, and found the insights valuable to my field (Primary Care).
I will almost certainly listen again.
The only thing I think that could be improved would for the narrator to avoid trying to use accents. It doesn't add anything and, in my opinion, detracts from the material.

Packed with great stuff
Another brilliant book packed with 50 influencing techniques. The only reason I've not given it another star is I'd have liked slightly more explanation of each technique or more examples.

Big things come in small packages.
A fascinating look into how the smallest of changes can influence the outcome of interactions with people. This audiobook contains 52 small influence techniques that anyone can use, I have already started to use a few and have seen an improvement in my ability to persuade people. None of the techniques are underhanded and all are backed by psychological studies.
The narration of this book is enjoyable to listen to and although, the English narrator's attempt at an American accent for certain quotes is not the best, it adds to the underlying humour of some of the material.
A wholly enjoyable and informative audiobook.

I finished this book today
The claims made in this book are actionable, and for the most part backed up by an apparent study (I guess you could check them if you’re cynical).
Even if you never use the contents, and given their wide applicability I think this is unlikely, the techniques and often counter-intuitive results are interesting at the very least.
I am glad I listened to it.
