Today's Most Effective Persuasion Techniques 

Persuasion - Dave Lakhani - Audio Book

The outcome of most persuasive events is determined before you ever say a word. People may know how to sell, but most were never taught how to persuade.

Persuasion expert Dave Lakhani breaks down the process into easy-to-use steps, teaching the listener not only how to persuade, but the biology and psychology behind it as well. Persuasion is key to every aspect of sales, marketing, and negotiations.

This audiobook reveals today's most effective persuasion techniques for business professionals, which can easily be applied to their personal lives as well. Though the techniques are similar, Lakhani draws a hard line between persuasion and manipulation, with the primary distinction being intent.

True persuasion is based in truth, honesty and inquisitiveness, and the ability to tell a powerful story and to meet the expectations of those one is trying to persuade. Good persuasion is a practiced art.

Manipulation - Mind Control - A Definition 

Mind control (also referred to as brainwashing, coercive persuasion, and thought reformLangone, Michael, Cults & Mind Control, International Cultic Studies Association) refers to a broad range of psychological tactics thought to subvert an individual's control of his or her own thinking, behavior, emotions, or decision making. Brainwashing and mind control theories originally developed to explain how totalitarian regimes were thought to indoctrinate prisoners of war through propaganda and torture techniques. These theories were later expanded or modified to explain a wider range of phenomena,especially conversions to new religious movements (NRMs). Since their application to NRMs, mind control theories have been especially controversial within scientific and legal contexts, and currently most social scientists agree with the stances taken by the American Psychological Association and American Sociological Association, which have found no scientific merit in them.
