Have you been searching for THE BIBLE of "SCARY EFFECTIVE" Persuasion-Techniques that are both EASY TO LEARN and EASY TO USE?
Many NLP books get bogged down in technical jargon. This makes understanding a technique unnecessarily difficult. It becomes hard for you to stay focused. Paying attention is impossible and Extreme Boredom begins to set in. Having to go back over things several times is TEDIOUS and NO FUN. And the final INSULT? Being quizzed on the material or trying to use it in a real world application, only to struggle to remember anything..
This book will eliminate all of those problems.
As little time as possible is spent explaining techniques or theory. The author cuts right to the point, in plain simple, everyday language. No big words with little meaning. As an added bonus, the technique being discussed is constantly being used in the text of the very discussion! This writing style is expanded upon as you learn more techniques. Soon you'll begin to notice all sorts of clever language-pattern combinations woven throughout the text of each chapter. Essentially you are being given a foolproof way to understand the material on both a conscious and sub-conscious level.
Various real-world scenarios are presented that show the slight changes you make for each type of influence you wish to achieve. This helps you to begin to develop your own style of phrasing for your language patterns. You will be sincere and genuine since your patterns are as natural to you as any other part of your normal daily conversations.
The paperback is a ridiculously low-priced value. If you're into digital editions, the author has a cheaper e-book version on his website that includes a lot of extra goodies. And you'll still want to buy a hard copy anyway just so you can read it anywhere!
You've surely noticed that the number of positive reviews for The Black Book speak for themselves. This book has earned every bit of praise you see on this page.
DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR.
BUY IT.
YOU DESERVE TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION. |

| Many years ago I took the NLP Practitioners course in California. I can honestly say that this book was not only a refresher, but I learned (and understood) more from this book (a few hours of reading) than I did for most of my x hours practitioner course. The book is full of pertinent examples and real world application. If you are in the persuasion business (and we are all in the persuasion business) this book is a MUST have, read and do. So the issue is not whether the book has value, the real issue is how much more improvement can you handle in your life as a result of reading and applying this book. Imagine applying the principles in the book to increase your income, get that promotion, get that special someone, or just increase the quality of life. Get the book, read the book and go get what you want..today. |

"How to prevent ending up stuck in communication" | 2009-05-18 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3R6R081VXQVED |
A fascinating aspect of consultancy and coaching is how to use language. The way people build language patterns determines their results. Rintu Basu's book invites people to master their skills in language patterns. The book is not only about theory; it's also about instructing and motivating the reader to practice these skills in real life situations. The way Basu achieves this is by instructing the readers step-by-step and pattern-by-pattern, with clear focus and outcome. As a reader, you would short change yourself by not taking the opportunity to do these exercises.
The book provides simple tools on how to get "unstuck" from a conversation that's "stuck" and to lead a stuck conversation into a new direction without offending the others that are involved. Out of all of the communications materials that I've read, this one illustrates a key point better than the others: communication is all about acknowledging others, as well as yourself, to avoid getting involved in a conversation that leads to miscommunication and misconception (which results in energy spent and energy wasted, going nowhere).
The ultimate goal of communication is to connect with others. This is such an important thing; why not take the effort to learn the skills to be as effective as possible when communicating? So - read the book, practice as much as you can and enjoy the results that you get! Overall, this book has helped me to bring my NLP skills to the next level.

I wonder if you know just how useful Rintu's book will be for you. I know you must have read a few testimonials by now, but the point is that his skills in persuasion are simply amazing. I sat there reading, enjoying what was going on and it's really interesting because you can really begin to notice how in just a few days you begin communicating even more effectively without even working that hard at it. Of course it takes a little practice, but there are easy to do exercises which take about 10 minutes a day which will have you up and running in no time at all.
Rintu has concisely put together the persuasion skills black book in such a way that anyone who wants to be an effective communicator or wants to develop their communication skills further will be able to easily. There are more than a few great reasons to get and read his book, his humorous writing style and keen insight into how persuasion works is a wonderful blend which has you wanting to read more. Whether it be at work or play, dating, running meetings more fluently or just having a bit of fun with words. You may even find yourself delightfully entertained thinking back at how easy it all is, with the persuasion skills black book. I'd say this is a wonderful primer to "Sleight of Mouth" by Robert Dilts, and if like me, you want to be an exquisite communicator you'll want to learn from the best.
In the above review I've utilized some of the patterns in the persuasion skills black book. How many can you find... Happy reading :) |
