Shelves:

لابأس به, رغمـاً أن أغلب الأفكار التي به أعرفهـا جيداً عن طريق الفطرة, لكن الكتاب يوضّح مدى أهميتهـا وفاعليتهـا في الحياة العملية, فن الإقنـاع, الكتاب أقرب لرجال الأعمال, مندوبي المبيعات وأي شخص يشتغل مع مدراء ويجلس في مكاتبهم ويتحاور معهم أو حتّى على الهاتف
الكاتب يطلعك على اساسيات علم النفس المتعلق بلغة الجسد, الحوار الجيد, الإستمـاع الجيّد ومدى أهميته, طريقة حوارك, وطريقة إلقائك للكلام, يعني مفيـد مفيـد جداً لأي شخص يعتقد أنه يعاني من سوء الحوار والإقناع والتفاوض

It is easy to follow and draws from peer-reviewed literature and dominant theories in the field. However, it is very simplistic. This book is really targeting the general public, so if you have no prior knowledge of psychology and are looking for a quick read, then it will suit you. If, like me, you do have prior knowledge of psychological theory then it will feel a bit condescending and you won't really gain much from reading it.
I really liked this book because it really talks about communication skills on several levels and social psychology. There are a lot of practical tips in this book and things that I have definitely integrated into my dealings with people on a daily basis.
Some good observations, but many superfluous or false assumptions tend to drag the books worth down. With a grain of salt can help you to learn something about persuasion, without it the book just leaves a nasty aftertaste.
Not bad for an old book. Its not scientifically proven persuasion, more tactics than strategies. Can't expect anything greater for the price.
An okay book, but that i wouldn't buy/read if I knew it before!
I feel some disconnection in the topics and not a single time some loose ends. What annoyed me big time is how easy it's i get lost in the thread of ideas, and i guess it has something to do with the writer style.

I read this quite quickly because it was interesting but I think I will have to read it again to know what I learned from it.
Well written and interesting, but I didn't learn anything new (it seems I already do everything recommended).
الكتاب ينفع للموظفين ، خصوصا مندوبي المبيعات .. أحس اني ما قريته كويس
صحيح استفدت لكن مو مرة .. إحتمال أشتريه بعدين و اقراه مرة ثانية
مو مرة مفيد للي قرأوا المرجع الأكيد في لغة الجسد ، الترجمة رديئة بمعنى الكلمة =/

A straight forward guide to pursuading people and making them do what you want. An enjoyable read, with easy to understand language and a minimum of jargon.
Loved this book! A lot of valuable tips!
Accurate.
a nice refresher... fast motivational read...
I bought this while I was at an airport in Scotland. I really liked how it was laid out, and also how the diagrams related to the text on the page. The information was to the point and all very informative.
I would recommend this book for someone who is looking for a broad overview of the basic psychology behind standard interpersonal relationships.

Nothing new, just a recap of stuff you are probably already aware of such as active listening. It's a good reminder of what you should be doing when you interact with others, and it certainly focussed my attention and made me think about how I was dealing with people. But overall it is just the same rehashed self-help stuff seen many times before.
So far so good. It describes common communication mistakes and what to do to improve communication.
Great book for everyone, more so for those dealing with a variety of people at a daily basis. Great for business and sales people.

Fun and very interesting. It gives you the basics.
Nothing much new in this that I hadn't come across before but handily packaged pop psychology introduction to the subject area.
I gave up on it for personal reasons :)
Revisit.
