    "From the New York Times bestselling authors of Crucial Conversations . . . Whether your goal is to change minds, change markets, or change the world-anything is possible for an influencer.Everyone wants to be an influencer. We all want to learn how to help ourselves and others change behavior. And yet, in spite of the fact that we routinely attempt to do everything from lose weight to improve quality at work, few of us have more than one or two ideas about how to exert influence. For the first time, Influencer brings together the breakthrough strategies of contemporary influence masters. By drawing from the skills of hundreds of successful influencers and combining them with five decades of the best social science research, Influencer shares eight powerful principles for changing behaviors-principles almost anyone can apply to change almost anything."

      I love this book. I've listened to it several times. It's inspires me to want to change my behavior, but more than that it shows exactly how to do it. The examples they provide are interesting. The incite of the book is both simple and complex, and it has the potential to be life changing.
    • 5/5
      Amazing positive book to make a change - also suggest change anything book - if only all people can be good people and involve themselves in making a positive change in the world

      only 5% of audio book available. I hate scribd. I hate this publisher. I will avoid both at all costs.

      Read the book. Several years ago I listened to the audiobook and found it had a lot of material I wanted to revisit. Made notes and gave it some serious thought
    • 4/5
      Classic read into the nature of creating change and the conditions for leading change as well.
    • 4/5
      The authors give enough persuasive information and illustrations that one has all the tools one needs to bring about real change IF one is willing to apply what one read. Excellent material.
    • 4/5
      This book has great real life stories in it. It sets forth principles for influencing others. I learned a lot, but I'm still not sure how to apply all the principles. I listened to it while on the treadmill. This is one I think I need to go back and read. I may understand the application better when I can concentrate on the book alone and not be distracted by my exercise routine.

      When Stephen Covey labeled this new book "an instant classic," I knew it was a must-read for me. But I was floored at how brilliant this book really is. Many books deal with some aspect or particular technique of change in people. Influencer is radically different: it presents a complete structural blueprint of the science of change, and takes you step by step through the critical factors behind change and how to apply them to any problem. Instead of endless dry facts or empty clichés, Influencer breaks down its major points chapter by chapter, illustrating them with a detailed analysis of several real-world case studies of seemingly insurmountable change problems, including Delancy, a rehab center for hard-core criminal drug addicts which has an astonishing success rate of over 90%. Interspersed are personal and family case studies, research, and history all engagingly written in a well-organized, coherent style. At the end of each chapter is a summary of key concepts covered. Influencer immediately helped me understand both my own thinking processes toward change and those of others, and jump-started good ideas for both my personal growth and solving several business issues. Influencer is by far the most original and useful book I have read this year. Highly recommended.
