Since its release it has consistently stayed in the top 25 on 800ceoread’s Business Book Bestsellers List. It has been translated into 30 languages. It was rated #10 on Inc.

I ordered the Art of Persuasion, there must have been a mix up during printing. The book received is actually “do what Jesus did” with the cover misprinted on it.Returning. Just wanted to give anyone else buying the heads up. I didn’t check the book for a while after receiving the order, but thankfully discovered this before the return window closed.

I truly enjoyed reading this book. I myself and many others could take many recommendations from it. Throughout reading the book I have realized many things that I do could be done in a more respectful and caring way. I loved the examples the book gave as well as the stories. The stories may not relate to my life exactly as the experiences in the book but it is very broad in the way of using the techniques for any situation. I have and will continue to keep molding myself in my work and everyday life with techniques given. Even if you are not trying to sell something or yourself this book will genuinely help shape you into a better person.

Great, short read, worth every minute.

The type of book you should read in chunks, read a chapter, implement it, practice it, then move to the next to expand the practices deeper into your day to day interactions.

Bob you are fabulous! Thank you so much for your books. I absolutely loved this one too! This book is filled with so much useful advice not just in how to persuade others but in how to become a trully fabulous person through kindness, respect, and compassion for others. This should be taught in schools. This book is brilliant I will be re reading it and instilling all the lessons and advice into my being. Thank you once again for a beautifully heart centred book. Just a little side note, there are a few typos and missed words here and there that the edirors might want to spruce up. I have the kindle version. But other than that the book is a gold mine of goodness and other book referals. I have alot of reading to do now 😊.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Read, Great Perspective, Useful Information
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018

I really enjoyed this book. Bob Burg does a great job presenting some practical conversational tools that can be and are effective in creating interactions with positive results. Although none of the information presented is revolutionary nor supported by any psychological studies, the premise of his advice is based upon the Golden Rule. This book is equally useful either as a quick read if you're looking for a crash course, general-theory-type understanding, and as a tool for slow-reading and heavy contemplation. Ive only read a handful of self-help books, but I can honestly say this is one of those books I will re-read every couple months to reinforce its lessons. Do yourself a favor and purchase this title.

I enjoyed this book, it's a wonderful read. Well written and full of great advice. If you are like me, you probably do most of what's in this book. It's great to have it presented in this format though. The only thing I would question is the part about practicing. I'll let you figure that part out. I disagree with the practicing and would argue that all the other tips and concepts would bridge the lack of it. Thanks BB for this work, you rock :)
