Review: A damn good book!

Having recently read a National Best Seller on the same subject, Influence and Persuasion, the benchmark was set pretty high. I'm pleased to tell you that "Hypnotic Techniques of Persuasion, vol.1" by Blaine Pratt has passed with flying colors, and maybe even one-ups it.The author clearly defines what it means to influence and persuade people, which I agree with, and then gives us an action plan on how to become MUCH more persuasive via a brilliant technique using metaphors. Although my primary interest in influence and persuasion is to be a better salesman and close more contracts, it's easy to see how this knowledge can and will be applied to all of my daily interactions: reading this book explained why I haven't been so successful negotiating with my wife (and that my friend is very valuable information).I can't wait for the next book in this series.
