Description

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.

    I didn't read the book yet, but the iBook price doesn't make sense as I can get hard copy delivered for cheaper price. Why is that?

    An exceptional read. It is a great resource for understanding yourself, as well as others, and leveraging that understanding to improve your interpersonal relationships. If you're interested in high level psychology and bettering yourself, it's well worth your time.
