This book is generally a good read, with some practical tips. My only critcism is the book is too simplistic. Human behaviour is very complex and in a vacuum yes many of this strategies would be useful. But in real life they may not work. There a lot factors such as culture, personal beliefs, values that effect human behaviour and to generalize to a set single theories to solve life's problem is a bit ridiculous. The book's language is a little manipulative with words like Never, any Situation, Really, Ever. I would recommend this book as a good guide on human behaviour and use it as reference not as absolute truth. |

The book will teach you clinically proven methods to influence people, but never to control other people's beavavior. There is a great distinction between the two. This is one of the better books on practical psychology because it is based on solid research on psychology. Plus, the author is a Psychology PhD and not some crackpot who thinks he/she understands the human mind and behavior without ever taking a course on psychology. This gives the book a great deal of credibility. |

I've faced three situations at work where I needed to convince someone to do something or diffuse a sticky situation. In each case I sat down ahead of time with this book and worked out a strategy of what to say using various techniques. Each time it worked like a charm.
The best example was when one of my co-workers was angry at one of my staff members for taking her seat. I used the technique of suggesting a punishment for him that I knew was too harsh (a day off without pay). I had to wince inside as I said it and cross my fingers that it would work. Immediately she said, "Oh no, I'm not asking for anything like that". And thus she began to realize that what he did was not that bad.
Getting someone to return your phone call by leaving a vague message that indicates you'd like to thank them or tell them some good news has also worked for me.
These are the kind of tips in the book. The book explains why they work very well. The book is easy to read. You do have to really think and plan ahead to apply the tips, but when you do, they are very effective. |

David explains how the laws of human behaviour operate for the advantage of those few who truly understand their impact on human behaviour.I threw logic out the window as I became increasingly aware of the raw power of emotion to guide and direct our lives. I now have a feeling of being behind the wheel instead of being the passenger. |

The one subject every entrepreneur needs to know is how to get anyone to do anything… the corporate world seems to teach folks how to do this - but freelancers and entrepreneurs don't seem to learn these skills. Asking is an art and a scinece and this book by David Lieberman shows you how to defeat the competition fo rjob interviews , get anyone to return your call - magic phrases and stop jealousy in anyone in less than 30 seconds. When the going gets rough at work or when your boss has you feeling donw - turn to this book. Stop verbal abuse INSTANTLY... how to answer tough questions how to say no without hurt - Wow...I can't believe I don't turn to this book more myself, you need it NOW. |

Of course you can't get supernatural powers by reading this book. But I found this book to be great reading. Yes, it's similar to other pop psychology books. But if you've never read a book like this before, I can recommend this one first and foremost. It has helped me to be more confident and obtain better results in almost every life situation. It's very user-friendly and well organized/written. The book provides specific examples of action which I truly appreciated, because so many books on the topic are vague and theoretical. Show your enemies the door (or turn them into friends), make new friends, and garner respect using tools presented in this book. I re-read this book often. |

What attracted me to this book was the mere boisterousness of the title, which seemed to promise at the very least an amusing read. I expected a tongue - in - cheek take on psychology, the author essentially saying "look, of course there's no sure fire way for anyone to get everyone to do anything, but here are a couple of practical solutions for everyday conundrums", or "here is how you can apply solid psychology to your daily problems", but I was way off mark. Instead, Lieberman actually pretends to make good on his promise by pasting together a few stale elements he lifted from a few mediocre self - help books which he seems to have read the week before he started to write this pile of tripe. Let me give you a few examples of Lieberman's wonder psychology: how, for instance, do you get someone to return your call? Why, you talk the telephonist into drawing a smiley on the memo. Well, maybe there was some pocket of humanity somewhere in the more rural parts of the American Midwest in the early Eighties where this might have worked, under the condition that you had the dubious luck to come across a mentally retarded telephonist with the sophistication of a lump of phlegm. At all other times, in all other places, in all other setups, however, this would be a sure fire way to convince anyone that you are a grade A prat.
Or how about this: how do you tell your partner that you are unhappy with your sex life? Lieberman suggests that you wait for a week or so, until, in a romantic restaurant, over a bottle of wine, you break it to your partner like this: "Honey, you are the greatest lover I have ever had, I mean the sex with you is just absolutely mindblowing. HOWEVER… (insert shortcoming here)". Actually I would think it kinder to roll over after sex and tell your significant other that he / she has the penile dimension of a juvenile hamster / the attractiveness and brio of a dead toad.
So how do you get anyone to do anything for you? My advice is to, firstly, steer well clear of this sad excuse of a book. And secondly, how about forcing them at gunpoint? This is a method that, unlike the strategies suggested by Lieberman, might conceivably work in the real world, and is still considerably more subtle and sophisticated than anything he has to offer.
(A negative review. MSL remarks.)
