Every salesperson must endure many NOs in order to get to YES. Objections don't care or consider: who you are, what you sell, how you sell, or if you are new to sales or a veteran. For as long as salespeople have been asking buyers to make commitments, buyers have been throwing out objections. And, for as long as buyers have been saying no, salespeople have yearned for the secrets to getting past those NOs. Objections is a comprehensive and contemporary guide that engages your heart and mind.

Power is one of the most misunderstood - and therefore vilified - concepts in our society. Many assume power is predetermined by personality or wealth, or that it’s gained by strong-arming others. You might even write it off as “dirty” and want nothing to do with it. But by staying away from power, you give it up to someone else who may not have your best interest in mind. We must understand and use our power to have impact, and pioneering researchers Julie Battilana and Tiziana Casciaro provide the playbook for doing so in Power, for All.

In Unfollow Your Passion, Terri Trespicio - whose TEDx talk has more than six million views - questions everything you think you need: passion (fun, but fleeting), plans (flimsy at best), and a bucket list (eye roll), to name a few.

The memoir of a neuroscientist whose research led him to a bizarre personal discovery, James Fallon had spent an entire career studying how our brains affect our behavior when his research suddenly turned personal. While studying brain scans of several family members, he discovered that one perfectly matched a pattern he’d found in the brains of serial killers. This meant one of two things: Either his family’s scans had been mixed up with those of felons or someone in his family was a psychopath.

Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that teaches us to act depending on what is within our control and separate things worth getting upset about from those that are not.

Brandon P. Fleming grew up in an abusive home and was shuffled through school, his passing grades a nod to his skill on the basketball court, not his presence in the classroom. He turned to the streets and drug deals by 14, saved only by the dream of basketball stardom. When he suffered a career-ending injury during his first semester at a Division I school, he dropped out of college, toiling on an assembly line, until depression drove him to the edge. Miraculously, his life was spared. Returning to college, Fleming was determined to reinvent himself as a scholar.

Most organizations and individuals work in the context of annual goals and plans; a 12-month execution cycle. Instead, The 12 Week Year avoids the pitfalls and low productivity of annualized thinking. This book redefines your "year" to be 12 weeks long. In 12 weeks, there just isn't enough time to get complacent, and urgency increases and intensifies. The 12 Week Year creates focus and clarity on what matters most and a sense of urgency to do it now. In the end more of the important stuff gets done and the impact on results is profound.

Publisher's 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.
Please note: The accompanying workbook for this title is available at AskOlivia.com/book/exercises/.

Loved it.
This book is based on research and experience, which I love. There is no excess in it, every sentence and paragraph is filled with value. It is a provocative invitation to understand charisma, how can we harness it and perfect it and its power in business and life. This one goes to the list of my new favourite books. And I personally loved the voice of the narrator, it made it even better. Enjoy!

Charisma is a process, here's how
Like many things, charisma takes a conscious effort to build and it begins with confidence to pull it off. Another author in this field breaks down confidence as something which is built by several acts of courage, courage is described as "doing the right thing" within a very short period of time from first having the thought of taking the action.
This book builds on that idea, it gives you some tools to build a mindset of Charisma. This can be learned by anyone. I'm sure you've at some point felt like your mouth is immobilized in certain situations. You cannot speak well and have horrible body language. This is all internal and can be overcome by some mental exercises and building confidence.
The problem is, some people's environment (the city they live in, their relationship or workplace) is an obstacle too difficult to overcome. It's hard to re-frame your mind in an environment where you have NOT been charismatic for a long period of time. It is possible, but it is easier for some to make changes to the environment. Getting off to a good start with charisma in a new environment will easily build momentum. Think of a friend which you were charismatic with right from the first day you knew them. It's harder to start being charismatic with someone who you have known for a while and NOT been charismatic. This is human nature and can be overcome but think of each new person you meet to START being charismatic from day 1. This book will help you do that.

Waste of money
Read the 3 reviews which were all 5 stars. I don’t agree. Super basic tips with little description and very little on steps to accomplish to intended goal. It’s great you tell me what makes someone charismatic but not how to achieve them. Gave up by chapter 4.
