Influence

Author: Robert B. Cialdini

In this eye-opening exploration of human behavior, Cialdini uncovers the hidden forces that shape our decisions. Drawing from decades of research, he reveals six universal principles of persuasion, from reciprocity to social proof. With engaging anecdotes and practical insights, Cialdini shows how these principles are wielded by skilled influencers—and how we can harness them ethically. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the subtle art of influence in business and everyday life.

People seem to be more motivated by the thought of losing something than by the thought of gaining something of equal value.
