"Asking for a pay rise, pitching to win a client inbusiness, going for a job interview or even simply asking afriend for a favour...we all have areas of our lives where we'd love to hear a yes more often. We need to understand what's going on inside the head of the person making the decision and find out exactly what is it that's going to get them to agree. In this book, Phil Hesketh explores the seven key pyschological drivers that motivate us all and influence our behaviour and choices. Just what is it that makes a person decide one way over another? And how can we sway them to help turn the tables our way?
