Co-written by the world's most quoted expert on influence, Professor Robert Cialdini, Yes! contains dozens of tips that you wouldn't want to miss out on - all of them scientifically proven to boost your powers of persuasion.This special tenth Anniversary edition features ten new chapters of updated research and fresh secrets of persuasion. You will find out how to stop your listeners getting bored, what you can do on your commute to increase your influence, and why being second place is worse than being third. Whether you want someone to promote you, take their medicine, reduce their carbon footprint or even give you their vote, Yes! shows how small changes in your approach can have a dramatic effect on your success.
Noah Goldstein is a protege of Cialdini's. He is an assistant professor at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.

If Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion is the textbook, then Yes! is the study guide. This has a ton of practical examples on how to apply the principles of persuasion developed by Robert Cialdini. You definitely want to read Influence first to understand what's actually occurring in the scenarios presented in this book.
Surprisingly easy read for such a detailed non-fiction book. Lots of insights based on research but the best bits are the real-world applications. Could be shorter and some chapters are a bit obvious nonetheless a good read.
I imagine if I'd read this book when it first came out, then I'd have been bowled over. However, many of the tools in here feel obvious in 2020 and not particularly surprising. That's not to say there aren't some nuggets of gold in this - I have possibly read too much behavioural science to be truly wowed.
I loved the original, with 50 secrets. But it's been about ten years since I read that, so decided to read this one. I rated the original 5 stars, but I don't recommend this to those who read the original. It felt like retreading old ground.
