“The Science of Persuasion”

Researchers have been studying the factors that influence us to say “Yes” to the requests of others for over 60 years. There can be no doubt that there’s a science to how we are persuaded, and a lot of the science is surprising.

In the increasingly overloaded lives we lead, more than ever we need shortcuts or rules of thumb to guide our decision-making.
