Story4.5 out of 5 stars 18
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.

WORTH THE TIME & MONEY!
Being a somewhat voratious reader(or listener) of this genre lately, I can whole heartedly recommend the spend, in terms of time and money.
It is written to be interesting for the interested, that sounds easy, because this book makes it easy. I obtained many useful tips for helping my business, which is doing well, but is already showing signs of small improvements from the use of these informative tips. Whether you use a hardcaopy or soft copy it's fairly easy to get around, do make a notebook handy, because you will find yourself wanting to jot ideas down. It is far superior in format and content (it is substantive) than most 'self-help - business enhancing' books. I recommend it without reservation.

Fascinating and useful
A great resource for any of us who need to understand negotiation and the psychology of decision making (which you could argue is all of us). This is packed with interest, well researched examples of theories in practice and tips about how these can be put to work

Amazing
I have listened to the a few times now to ensure I remember all the details. It is very powerful. The techniques are easy to understand and all backed up science and research. I have used these techniques at work with great success. This is a must if you want to develop the winning edge or just to amaze your friends with the facts!!!

Just brilliant
This book was brilliant from beginning to end. Not just interesting in its descriptions of what motivates people, but often of immediate practical use too. I filled four pages of a notebook while listening to it, and began using some of its tips and tricks in marketing material. After finishing it I bought the paperback (which I immediately lent to someone) and have been recommending it to all and sundry.

V. Good educational skills and information.
A fantastic book full of useful information aiding day to day thoughts and behaviors.
Very well narrated and an enjoyable listen.
Unfortunately after purchasing I realised there was an updated version called 60 reasons...
Dissatisfied to see that Audible had not kept up to date with the newest version.

Fascinating review of evidence of persuasion
This book is well worth a listen. 55 chapters (I think) each highlighting a different aspect of persuasion with an appropriate amount of evidence to back up their claims. The narrator is good but as for the impressions of various people - What were you thinking!!
Overall if you enjoy these type of books don't miss this one out.

am finding the book interesting. Every now and then get an excellent new titbit or perspective on something so am staying interested. Will sometimes rewind a relisten to passages that are more in depth or relevant to projects I am working on.

Much better version of "Influence" by Cialdini
If you found "Influence" to be too heavy, boring and bland but you are interested in this subject, then this book is for you.
It is structured in a nice way: 1) Persuasion method; 2) Examples; 3) Conclusion. It is therefore very easy to follow.
Each method (divided in its own chapter), last only a few minutes to listen.
I personally liked the narration. Adds colour to the book and makes it easier to follow. I think the narration made listening to this book even more enjoyable.
My only recommendation would be to add titles to each chapter, in the chapter list, to make it easy to jump back and forward if required at a future date.
All and all, same as "Influence", just way better written (and narrated).

Structure doesn't translate well to Audio
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The style and reading gave me a couple of ideas but I found the structure as presented did not give me a clear overview of where the particular influencing style this story sat in
If you’ve listened to books by the authors before, how does this one compare?
I've read Robert Cialdini's influence and love the book. As an audio book this one seemed a little all over the place
Was Yes! 50 Secrets from the Science of Persuasion worth the listening time?
Yes - but it just seemed a little disjointed
