Great Book

I thought I'd listened everything interesting about persuasion. I make it my job to focus on what can help my copywriting. Usually there are obscure ideas that I have to translate into practical methods in a sales letter. METHODS is actually methods to use persuasion and it easily relates to marketing materials. Its clear and concise. Great Book.

Very interesting

Super good book! Very interesting. Well written. I used it as a source for a thesis I had to write and it was super helpful. Out of every other book I've listened about the human mind and how it is easily persuaded, this one is by far the best- no comparison. He engages you while reading that allows you to gain a deeper understanding of how things work.
