There are two schools of thought regarding charisma. One states simply that charisma is given by God, at birth. It's like the color of your eyes, or hair, or your race. No matter what you do, you will never have more, or less, than you were born with. You either have charisma, or you don't. There are no other possibilities.The other school of thought is that charisma can not only be acquired, but be refined and honed to a high level. Obviously, Author William Wyatt belongs to this school of thought. He shares his own unique perspectives on what charisma is, defines it, and gives advice on how to achieve a level of charisma that will benefit the reader of this book.In sum, the very fact that you are reading this book is because you are actively seeking actionable advice, suggestions and recommendations to improve in ths area. It would be an indiscretion for myself, or anyone else, to imply that there is a 100% guarantee of success to be had by simply reading this book. That would be sophistry, to put this mildly. At the same time, I must honestly say that within the covers of this book there is undoubtedly useful information for everyone. This is in measures directly proportional to your own desire to actively use the information, and take responsibility for your achievements. In this sense, I fully recommend this book.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofTeaching Debate in Chile: Age of Wisdom, Season of Light, Spring of HopeMany thanks to the author for generously proving a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
