Summary
What if charisma could be taught?

For the first time, science and technology have taken charisma apart, figured it out and turned it into an applied science: In controlled laboratory experiments, researchers could raise or lower people's level of charisma as if they were turning a dial.

What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab, and every person you meet, a chance to experiment.

The Charisma Myth is a mix of fun stories, sound science, and practical tools. Cabane takes a hard scientific approach to a heretofore mystical topic, covering what charisma actually is, how it is learned, what its side effects are, and how to handle them.©2012 Olivia Fox Cabane

If you read one book. Make it this one! I listened to this book twice in a row when I first heard it and still want to revisit it. It is filled with heaps of useful tips and insights about how to interact with people. After listening to it and putting some of the skills to use my life has shifted dramatically!

Will change your life

One of the best written book on leadership development skills. It consolidates a number of leadership texts into a well crafted and simple to understand handbook. One to read more then once and to keep on hand for guidance when in need.

An excellent read
