Easy Read, Great Perspective, Useful Information
I really enjoyed this book. Bob Burg does a great job presenting some practical conversational tools that can be and are effective in creating interactions with positive results. Although none of the information presented is revolutionary nor supported by any psychological studies, the premise of his advice is based upon the Golden Rule. This book is equally useful either as a quick read if you’re looking for a crash course, general-theory-type understanding, and as a tool for slow-reading and heavy contemplation. Ive only read a handful of self-help books, but I can honestly say this is one of those books I will re-read every couple months to reinforce its lessons. Do yourself a favor and purchase this title.

So much goodness in these pages.
Bob you are fabulous! Thank you so much for your books. I absolutely loved this one too! This book is filled with so much useful advice not just in how to persuade others but in how to become a trully fabulous person through kindness, respect, and compassion for others. This should be taught in schools. This book is brilliant I will be re reading it and instilling all the lessons and advice into my being. Thank you once again for a beautifully heart centred book. Just a little side note, there are a few typos and missed words here and there that the edirors might want to spruce up. I have the kindle version. But other than that the book is a gold mine of goodness and other book referals. I have alot of reading to do now 😊.

Polite, patient, and persistent
I truly enjoyed reading this book. I myself and many others could take many recommendations from it. Throughout reading the book I have realized many things that I do could be done in a more respectful and caring way. I loved the examples the book gave as well as the stories. The stories may not relate to my life exactly as the experiences in the book but it is very broad in the way of using the techniques for any situation. I have and will continue to keep molding myself in my work and everyday life with techniques given. Even if you are not trying to sell something or yourself this book will genuinely help shape you into a better person.

Great Read!
Great, short read, worth every minute.The type of book you should read in chunks, read a chapter, implement it, practice it, then move to the next to expand the practices deeper into your day to day interactions.

Keep Looking
Bob Burg is a Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie clone. He really doesn’t add much to what these authors have had to say already with the exception that Burg does attempt to add some NLP concepts. You can do better.

The Art of Persuasion is a quick, practical guide that gets right to the heart of what it means to get things done and inspire positive change. I loved how this book makes it clear that real progress—whether in your own life or in helping others—comes down to mastering the skills of persuasion. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to make things happen, connect with people, and leave a lasting impact.

The key theme running throught this book is that in order to be successful at persuading others to help you reach your desired goal, you need to to show understanding and be willing to see things from their perspective. Now that’s a slightly oversimplified take, but the truth of the book is just that. Bob takes the reader through a wide variety of scenarios that you and I can (and do) come across regularly in real life and shows us which technique fits to get the best result for both parties. As with all good negotiation, the right outcome is win/win – and this is what Bob is heading for.If you remember just one thing, make sure it’s the Three P’s – Politeness, Patience and Persistence.However, there are also some occasions where win/win isn’t an option, so he let’s you know how to make sure you come out on top whilst allowing the inheritance party to save face at the least, if not “win” per se. There are a decent number of proven psychological tactics at play here, backed up with sources, about how and why these methods work.Without spilling the secrets here there are a few easy to remember lines that can get out out of trouble if you find yourself stuck at an airport (remember those?!), or dealing with a particularly difficult customer, if you’d like to get on the right side of waiters at restaurants or even, heaven forbid, pulled over for speeding.Reading this book is a suggestion I’d love you to take up, but if you can’t do it, I’ll definitely understand.
