Artful Persuasion  (English, Paperback, Mills Harry)

"There's really nothing mysterious about getting people to change their minds. No special, inborn gifts. No subliminal tricks. Instead, the best persuaders - advertisers, salespeople, politicians, spin doctors - depend on the fact that everyone responds to messages in just two ways: thoughtfully or mindlessly. And they know how to manipulate these two persuasion routes to make even the most doubtful say "yes". Jam-packed with fascinating case studies and surprising examples, this comprehensive, entertaining how-to guide puts the powerful tool of persuasion at anyone's disposal. It explains: how the master persuaders - the Churchills, Lincolns, and Roosevelts - create powerful, memorable messages that convince people of their arguments' logic and rightness; and how successful persuaders exploit the psychological triggers that cause people to subconsciously move from "no" to "yes".
