    <![CDATA[<p> <em>Influence</em>, the classic book on persuasion, explains the psychology of why people say &quot;yes&quot;—and how to apply these understandings. Dr. Robert Cialdini is the seminal expert in the rapidly expanding field of influence and persuasion. His thirty-five years of rigorous, evidence-based research along with a three-year program of study on what moves people to change behavior has resulted in this highly acclaimed book. </p> <p> You'll learn the six universal principles, how to use them to become a skilled persuader—and how to defend yourself against them. Perfect for people in all walks of life, the principles of <em>Influence</em> will move you toward profound personal change and act as a driving force for your success. </p>]]>
