Steve J. Martin Bücher

Presents dozens of surprising discoveries from the science of persuasion in short, insightful chapters that you can apply immediately to become a more effective persuader

At some point today you will have to influence or persuade someone - perhaps ask a colleague a favour, negotiate with a contractor or get your spouse to put out the recycling. In The small BIG, three heavyweights from the world of persuasion science and practice - Steve Martin, Noah Goldstein and Robert Cialdini - describe how, in today's information-overloaded world, it is now the smallest changes that lead to the biggest differences in results.Offering deceptively simple suggestions and explaining the extensive scientific research behind them, the small BIG presents over fifty small changes - from the little adjustments that make meetings more effective to the costless alteration to correspondence that saved a government millions. The small BIG is full of surprising, powerful - and above all, tiny - changes that could mean the difference between failure and success.

Most of us are only too aware that, whatever roles we have in today's fast-moving world, much of our success lies in getting others to say 'Yes' to our requests. What many people might not be aware of, though, is the vast amount of research that has been conducted on the influence process. What factors cause one person to say 'Yes' to the request of another? Yes! is full of practical tips based on recent academic research that shows how the psychology of persuasion can provide valuable insights for anyone interested in improving their ability to persuade others - whether in the workplace, at home or even on the internet. It combines the counter-intuition of Freakonomics with the popularising of Does Anything Eats Wasps? For each mini-chapter contains a mystery which is solved in a way that provides food for thought for anyone looking to be more persuasive, and for anyone interested in how the world works.

Renowned for its exceptional insights, this book has garnered praise from influential figures, including Robert B. Cialdini. It delves into compelling themes and presents a unique perspective that captivates readers, making it a must-read for those seeking to enhance their understanding of human behavior and influence. Its superb quality and impactful content set it apart in the literary landscape.
