Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive

Alex Moskalyuk posted a very interesting article with a synopsis of the 50 chapters in the book Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive . Written by Noah Goldstein’s, Steve Martin and Robert Cialdini, this book looks like a great resource for freelance artists.

The research in the book doesn’t present you with information about how to con people, it demonstates how to be more persuasive. If anything, I’m hoping it can help you learn to present a confident and empowering self to win more clients. Let’s face it, as a freelance artist who’s family depends on me to provide for them, I’m willing to find out ways to be more persuasive.

You can pick up the printed edition of this book on Amazon.com for dirt cheap. If you are environmentally friendly or don’t have the self space for one more book, get the Kindle edition, for even cheaper. The iPhone has a Kindle app so all you iPhone users can get the Kindle edition as well.

So what do you think? Will you get the book? If you do, come back and leave a comment letting me know what you learned from the book and how you plan on using it in your day-to-day dealings with clients.
