Recommendation
Using persuasiveness to alter another person’s behavior doesn’t require a monumental effort. Little things often foster the biggest shifts. As United Kingdom-based behavioral scientists and professors Steve J. Martin, Noah J. Goldstein and Robert B. Cialdini demonstrate, minor changes in everyday life can yield significant changes in the way people act. Drawing from an abundance of scientific research, they provide intriguing insight into human behavior and offer telling examples of how to alter other people’s actions. getAbstract recommends this fascinating educational experience to managers, marketers and anyone who needs to persuade.
