This book is an excellent resource for becoming a magnetic personality, who others respect and admire.  The author discusses several factors to address, including developing an irresistible personality.  I liked the author’s approach that you need to be genuine, rather than putting on an act that others will see right through.  He discusses the importance of being interested in people, being giving, and humble.  Also important is being confident and assertive, as well as having a sense of vision and conviction.  These traits will allow charisma to develop, and will allow personal influence and persuasion to develop.The author discusses the factors that get in the way of charisma, including self-limiting beliefs and a lack of confidence.  He gives specific recommendations to counter these factors, including redefining failures and practicing positive affirmations.  Proper body language is also addressed as an important component in communicating magnetism and influence.  The book is inspiring and motivating, with practical guidance for becoming charismatic and influential individuals and leaders.
