The Charisma Myth

How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism (Int'l Edit.)

De: Olivia Fox Cabane

Narrado por: Lisa Cordileione

What if charisma could be taught?

For the first time, science and technology have taken charisma apart, figured it out, and turned it into an applied science: In controlled laboratory experiments, researchers could raise or lower people's level of charisma as if they were turning a dial.

What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab and every person you meet a chance to experiment.

The Charisma Myth is a mix of fun stories, sound science, and practical tools. Cabane takes a hard scientific approach to a heretofore mystical topic, covering what charisma actually is, how it is learned, what its side effects are, and how to handle them.

AWEsome

This book was a Paradigm Shift for me. Am an introvert entrepreneur, so you can imagine why I wanted to learn about being charismatic.
and the book contained WAY more than what I imagined it to be.
I never would've thought that charisma starts from within. Actually, the techniques beautifully yet concisely described in this book made an immediate profound impact on my own interactions. heck one of the techniques ACTUALLY made me tear up from relief (Responsibility Transfer)
it's not a short book, I really wished it would be double its length!

The Production Distracts from Valuable Content

There is much to like about the material taught in this book. However, the audio production and (lack of) outline noticeably detract from the overall experience.
Starting with lack of chapter titles, which would make it easier to go back later and review key sections, I felt like the listener was never considered in the production. The narration had misplaced pauses and sections that were clearly re-recorded and inserted awkwardly, and at a different audio level, drawing my focus away from the content and toward the production.
This is the first audio book I’ve listened to where I was so keenly aware of, and distracted by, the production quality.

Powerful book

Well read by author and nice that there was summeries in end of the chapters. If this stuff works its very powerful. Lookin forward to test it out.

Good book. You can learn improve.

make sure you focus while you listen this, you will have to stop and think sometimes. I bought this in a hurry but it was better than most of the books I have chosen for selfimprovment.

Spellbound

Wow! So much insight in this amazing book. It made me realise many ways to improve my interactions with others. Now to apply it..

Remarkable

This is a remarkable book that is worthy of study. The reading performance is fine.

My absolute favorite self development book

It's funny that I told people I was studying Charisma and they found it funny that you could study it, proving the point of the title: the myth that people are whether born charismatic or not.
Not long after started listening to The Charisma Myth, I knew charisma was going to be my best tool in life so far. I was born already somewhat charismatic but this book still provides with dense wisdom and insights that otherwise would take me too long to realize, and pinpoints the exercises curated after years of expertise.
Learning charisma is really close to learning to be a better person, a better you. My life has already started to change, and I'm enjoying every minute of the journey.
