My Book Club series is back! These are my top 10 key takeaways from Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive by Noah J. Goldstein, Steve J. Martin, and Robert Cialdini. “Can you recommend a book for…?” “What are you reading right now?” “What are your favorite books?” I get asked those types of questions a lot and, as an avid reader and all-around bibliophile, I'm always happy to oblige. I also like to encourage people to read as much as possible because knowledge benefits you much like compound interest. The more you learn, the more you know; the more you know, the more you can do; the more you can do, the more opportunities you have to succeed. On the flip side, I also believe there's little hope for people who aren't perpetual learners. Life is overwhelmingly complex and chaotic, and it slowly suffocates and devours the lazy and ignorant. So, if you're a bookworm on the lookout for good reads, or if you'd like to get into the habit of reading, this book club for you. The idea here is simple: Every month, I'll share a book that I've particularly liked, why I liked it, and several of my key takeaways from it. I'll also keep things short and sweet so you can quickly decide whether the book is likely to be up your alley or not. Alright, let's get to the takeaways. --- Timestamps: 0:00 - Please leave a review of the show wherever you listen to podcasts and make sure to subscribe and leave a comment! 4:26 - Decision fatigue. 5:09 - Devote training time on errors and how those errors can be avoided. 7:20 - Argue against your self interest. 7:38 - Search others for their virtues. 8:00 - Point out potential losses. 8:27 - Have product and company names that are easy to read and pronounce. 8:50 - Give gifts that are significant, unexpected, and personalized. 9:11 - My award-winning fitness books for men and women: https://legionathletics.com/products/books/ 11:10 - Commitment and consistency based strategies. 11:43 - Free the consumer from previous commitment. 12:17 - Mysterious influences. --- Mentioned on the Show: My award-winning fitness books for men and women: https://legionathletics.com/products/books/

Dr. Robert Cialdini has spent his entire career conducting scientific research on what leads people to say “Yes” to requests and appeals. The results of his research, his ensuing articles, and New York Times bestselling books have earned him an acclaimed reputation as a respected scientist and engaging storyteller.His books, including “Influence” and “Pre-Suasion,” have sold more than 7-million copies in 44 different languages. Robert is also the Regents' Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing at Arizona State University.In this episode, Robert joins Greg to talk about what's changed in the 30 years between his published books; authority & credibility; the predominance of fear in our culture; and how they each teach ethics in their business courses.Episode Quotes:What is the importance of social scientists observing phenomena in the field? 6:49: I think it's crucially important for a couple of reasons. One is in the laboratory; we control or eliminate all sources that may affect our data except the ones that we are studying. That's what we try to do. Those may be the things that exist in the natural environment that could influence the effects, but we don't register their influence because we've eliminated them in the hothouse of the experimental lab. So, that's one thing. The other is we can see the power of the effects that we find in the field because if they are successful, they have overcome all of this myriad of other influences that are working on people—making decisions, making choices, in everyday situations to transcend all that ground noise that's going on, that could otherwise eliminate the effect if the effect wasn't strong enough to overpower those influences.How can we manage the constant barrage of appeals for our attention?26:50: There's one strategy that is the most powerful in rebalancing the scales against the larger impact that a salient argument has. And that is to consider the opposite.Influence as a leadership tool47:22: For leadership, you want influence in the long term. You want to create an aura that allows people to feel comfortable moving in your direction, even though they don't have to make a purchase or anything, but they're willing to go along with your preferences because you've established yourself as a credible source of authority for them.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Daniel KahnemanGuest Profile:Professional Profile at Arizona State UniversityRobert Cialdini WebsiteRobert Cialdini on TwitterRobert Cialdini on LinkedInHis Work:Influence At WorkInfluence, New and Expanded: The Psychology of PersuasionPre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and PersuadeThe small BIG: small changes that spark big influenceYes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive

Brian Ahearn specializes in applying the science of influence and persuasion in everyday situations, and authored the LinkedIn course Persuasive Selling and has been cited in The small BIG, Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive, and Introducing Persuasion: A Practical Guide. Brian believes the ability to connect with someone is everywhere, it just takes a conversation and an intense curiosity to find commonalities.    Key Takeaways [2:45] Brian trained under Dr. Robert Cialdini. Dr. Cialdini loves to research and experiment with different theories. Brian, on the other hand, loves taking that research and applying it right away.  [6:05] Leaders can use influence for good (instead of manipulation) by being empathic and taking the time to truly know the person working for them. When you have people’s best interests at heart, it’s easy to get good work done. [10:50] Salespeople who understand technology and know how to build a connection virtually are really going to thrive in this new environment. Understanding the technology you’re working with right now is critical when you can’t shake someone’s hand. [13:25] The biggest mistake that Brian sees in coaching is when companies do not give coaches the correct space or training for them to excel in their company environment. [14:55] Coaches shouldn’t be ‘telling’ people what to do. They should be asking the right questions and getting the mentee to act on their own. [17:30] A good salesperson asks questions, allows the customer to talk, and when they’re listening, they start to understand the customer’s needs and buying type. The same applies to coaching. [20:40] People right now are finding out how strong their customer relations really are because they have to connect differently than before. [22:20] During this time, it’s important to show genuine concern for people! Sometimes just reaching out to check in and see how they’re doing, is all you need to do. [24:20] The more we find we have in common, the more we naturally like that person. [31:00] It’s up to you to emotionally start connecting with people. Look for everything you can find about a person that the two of you have in common. 31:00] It’s up to you to emotionally start connecting with people. Look for everything you can find that you have in common with this new person or acquaintance. [32:55] A lot of good things are coming out of quarantine. People from all over are using Zoom to connect with old friends. [36:20] People are more motivated by what they might lose than what they might gain. [39:15] You need to trust that when you have people’s best interests at heart, that they will respond positively to that. It all starts with you and the choices that you make. [42:30] There’s something good in everybody and if you can find it, even the most difficult people will become someone you could enjoy working with.   Quotable Quotes “If I ask the right questions and help you come up with a solution, you will be much more committed to that solution because you came up with it.” “It’s easy for us to say yes to people we know and like.” “Go in with a mindset of how can I come to like them.”   Resources Mentioned Influencepeople.biz Connect with John on Twitter: @BrianAhearn Brian’s book: Influence PEOPLE: Powerful Everyday Opportunities to Persuade that are Lasting and Ethical Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, by Robert B.

Stephen Martin and Joe Marks, PhD dive deep into one of the most important eye-openers about communication in our world today: the importance of WHO delivers the message. Their book, “Messengers: Who We Listen To, Who We Don’t, and Why,” is a major revamp on the claim made by Marshall McLuhan in 1964 that, “The Medium IS the Message.” While Steve and Joe are hard-pressed to say McLuhan’s refrain is dead, it’s being outsized by a more contemporary and relevant one: “The Messenger IS the Message.” In our conversation with Steve and Joe, we discussed the way they’ve broken down their research and organized their book. The first section is on what they refer to as Hard Messenger Traits: Socio-Economic Position, Competence, Dominance, and Attractiveness. The second section works its way through the Soft Messenger Traits: Warmth, Vulnerability, Trustworthiness, and Charisma.  Their comments deconstruct how motivated reasoning is more than just aligning our tolerance for untruth with our desires; more importantly, it’s an alignment with the person who is expressing our desires. To illustrate this point, they asked UK voters if they thought that Boris Johnson lied about Brexit. Seventy-five percent agreed that he did. Then the researchers asked if the voters still considered Johnson trustworthy. For “Leavers,” the lies no impact on his trustworthiness. He wasn’t tainted because his lies served the voters’ underlying goals. While there are decades of psychological research on the impact the messenger has on the message, no one has synthesized it into a single narrative as Joe and Steve have. It’s an excellent read and we found our discussion with them filled with anecdotal gems and slightly uncomfortable laughter. It’s also worth noting that Steve is a co-author with Robert Cialdini, PhD on several great papers their groundbreaking book on persuasion. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Joe and Steve.  © 2020 Behavioral Grooves    Links Stephen Martin, PhD: @scienceofyes Joe Marks, PhD: @joemarks13 “Messengers: Who We Listen To, Who We Don’t, and Why”: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/43522604 Robert Cialdini, PhD: https://www.robertcialdinibf.com/ “YES: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive”: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2208661.Yes_?from_search=true&qid=Tk8IuivDSr&rank=1 John Henry Marks, MD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Marks_(doctor) “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts0XG6qDIco   Musical Links Bettye Swann: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8iSfknnMfc Otis Redding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTVjnBo96Ug Prince: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXJhDltzYVQ ELO “Electric Light Orchestra”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQUlA8Hcv4s The Beatles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q_ZzBGPdqE New Order: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYH8DsU2WCk The Baseballs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM2177pHMT0 Joy Division: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dBt3mJtgJc Ed Sheeran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymjNGjuBCTo Adel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08DjMT-qR9g Aretha Franklin “Think”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqYnevHibaI Aretha Franklin “Respect”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FOUqQt3Kg0 Right Said Fred “I’m Too Sexy”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5mtclwloEQ AC/DC “Back in Black”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoMLhnvV-yM

Here's the situation... you're responsible for delivering a project. Your boss comes in today and announces that senior management has decided that you must deliver your project 4 weeks earlier than originally planned.You know that the project is already carrying a lot of risk, and cutting 4 more weeks seems completely unrealistic, at least from your perspective. Yet it also appears, from your perspective, that speaking up or pushing back could be job risking. They aren't looking for your input--they're looking for you to deliver on the demand.Sound familiar?Whether you are a project manager or responsible for leading a team, we are regularly faced with situations that require us to influence others. Yet here's my observation: influence skills are one of the most under-trained areas for many people today. It's almost as if we think influence training is for salespeople or lawyers or "those people over in procurement."{loadposition content_amazonYes}We all can benefit from developing our influence skills. One of my favorite influence books in the last couple years is entitled Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive. I had the opportunity recently to speak with the co-author of Yes!, Steve Martin, and look forward to your feedback on the interview in this cast. By the way, you'll hear Steve share his thoughts on how to deal with that boss with unrealistic timeframes!A practical next step to develop your influence skills is to get a copy of the book that Steve authored with Robert Cialdini and Noah Goldstein: Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive. Also, check out Dr. Cialdini's classic: Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion.Steve puts out a very helpful newsletter entitled the Inside Influence Report. I encourage you to sign-up for it.

Judge sentences man to 6 months for yawning in court http://www.boingboing.net/2009/08/12/judge-sentences-man.html Judges wield their power to initiate force against people Our fellow political slaves are oftentimes the biggest hindrance to achieving freedom A "republic" is just another form of statism--treating individuals in an involuntary fashion Most fellow political slaves represent the ideas they were taught in governmental schools For instance, most say that we need "good rulers" or political "leaders" Political "leaders" thrive on arbitrary and involuntary collectives of people Statist falsehoods such as "implicit contract" and "consent of the governed" are the mainstays of political slaves It's important to follow the money trail in the so-called court system Lawyers filter out any and all critical thinkers with peremptory challenges The so-called legal system in America is communistic and tribal in nature Statist judges and lawmakers are drunk on power, coercive and monopolistic power Public property is a contradiction in terms that facilitates all the statist nonsense http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/public_property.html Governmental courts have no jurisdiction because they directly violate property rights The only rights are private property rights, i.e., individual rights http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/individual_rights.html Authoritarianism seeks to control the most basic functions of people's lives The orders in the court mimic the orders in the classroom All governmental courts are kangaroo courts, in which unjust authority reigns, without individuals' consent Go to http://freekeene.com to read comments by statist slaves to free stater posts about tactics of non-compliance Justice agencies in a free market would honor individual rights The only reason to take someone to court is on account of a rights violation The purpose of law and justice in a free society is to right any wrongs perpetrated by aggressors To question things about statism is to stand apart from the collective Ignorance of natural and objective law (based on natural rights) is no excuse! Initiating aggression is wrong Admitting to wrongdoing is not something that pretentious and authoritarian people tend to do Seeking real justice in a statist society is nearly impossible; all that can be done is shaming the wrongdoers, informing others of the illegitimacy of the "court system," and not obeying their rights-violating edicts LAWS THAT PROMOTE OUR PURSUITS OF HAPPINESSES - http://completeliberty.com/chapter8.php Arizona Judge Tells Sheriff "Reveal Password Or Face Contempt" http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/08/15/212254/Arizona-Judge-Tells-Sheriff-Reveal-Password-Or-Face-Contempt Sheriff Joe Arpaio, authoritarian sociopath par excellence - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWJHu1wgPHU Sheriff Joe Arpaio: The Fascist Face of the Drug War - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBQu1spxxFA How to Survive Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Jail System - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqp0Bo_2644 The Murder of Scott Norberg - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BeOd_Ukm_s Ernest Hancock interviews Lew Rockwell and MHD guys, and tells stories about AZ police state nonsense July 23 - http://tinyurl.com/l6x7d4  July 24 - http://tinyurl.com/n94jza http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Standard-Page.htm?EdNo=001&Page=00189 Any organization that funds itself through taxation is invalid Any monopoly provides the lowest quality service at the highest possible price You don't have to do civil disobedience to speak the truth about "government" The more one asserts one's individuality, the more one understands the nature of freedom and oppression The less one asserts one's mind and life, the more the illusion of freedom is maintained If you are worthy of happiness, then it's just a natural thing to assert yourself and respect others Reason, purpose, and self-esteem are key values; rationality, productiveness, and pride are their corresponding virtues Polycentric Order: On Slavery by Philip Hayes http://polycentricorder.blogspot.com/2009/08/on-slavery.html Involuntary servitude is invalid, whether or not there's a contract There is no such thing as partial slavery; in the realm of statism, you're either a slave or you're not Who owns you?

News: Schwarzenegger: Printed texts are old school Analysis: As a budget-cutting strategy, California's digital textbook initiative could have national implications In the state that gave the world Facebook, Google, and the iPod, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says forcing California's students to rely on printed textbooks is so yesterday. The governor recently launched an initiative to see if the state's 6 million public school students could use more online learning materials, including open courseware--perhaps saving millions of dollars a year in textbook purchases. The governor is starting with math and sciences and has asked providers to submit their online postings to state officials by next week. The materials that survive state review will be made available to school districts by Aug. 10. "We expect the first science and math books to be digital by this fall," Schwarzenegger said. "If we expand this to more textbooks, schools could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and that's hundreds of millions of dollars that could be used to hire more teachers and to reduce class sizes." http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/top-news/index.cfm?i=59180 Events & Happenings: 2.
