Summary: Useful techniques to help you get what you want
Comment: Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (12/06)
"Power Persuasion" was written by David. R. Barron and Danek S. Kaus. Barron is a communication and persuasive expert trained in Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and Social Influence. Kaus is a former clinical hypnotist. He has trained doctors and nurses on how to use hypnotic medical techniques. Both authors apply their expertise into this book. They give you the techniques that you need to use to influence, friends, loved ones and business associates. They say that this book will "Give you the tools to help make your dreams come true."
Persuasion is defined as, "that seemingly magical ability to influence other people and yourself." The techniques offered here will give you a better understanding of how the mind works. Whether or not using these techniques is right or wrong is based upon your intentions of why you are using them. The authors do not recommend that you use these techniques for improper purposes. The goal is to do good for oneself and the other party involved.
Every chapter offers exercises to assist you with perfecting each technique. These are not skills which will be acquired overnight. The exercises are very interesting and seem fun. The goal of this practicing these techniques is to have fun and maintain your sense of humor. You will also need to set specific goals so that you will know exactly what you want. You will improve on your body language and conversation skills. Some of the techniques for these skills are derived from Neuro Linguistic Programming. These techniques will also help prevent miscommunication.
I found this book to be very interesting and easy to understand. I look forward to seeing how well I progress as I practice the exercises. To progress, I will be reading "Power Persuasion" many times. I see it as an invaluable tool for improving on my communication skills with others. The techniques presented including mirroring and matching will help in my communicating with people that have limited English skills. I encounter these people daily. In addition to becoming an expert at persuading others, I also feel that I will be able to recognize when others are using these techniques on me. All things considered, I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Tools to Make Your Dreams Come True
Comment: David Barron and Danek Kaus in "Power Persuasion" have provided an amazing strategy for helping you make your dreams come true. They provide step by step instruction, using many of the most powerful persuasion tools and techniques available. The book will show you how to influence people by developing the magical art of persuasion.
I am eager to put into practice some of these skills in my business and social relationships to encourage others to believe in themselves helping them to attain the realization of their goals
The authors use military linguistic patterns in examples to illustrate how to use lead questions and statements in a conversational style to produce logical choices based on perceived anticipated benefits. I enjoyed the challenge of learning to use "weasel words," "embedded commands," "modal operators," and "metaphors" in the process of influencing others.
You will be amazed at the new positive behavior you experience as you work through the suggested exercises. These exercises are designed to stimulate your imagination, your communication, and your persuasive skills. You will learn how to develop the use of your subconscious mind, how to improve your sensory acuity, and how to recognize when you have established rapport in a relationship.
Put this book on the top of your "must read" list. You will find it to be one of the most powerful instructional tools available today.

Summary: Dissapointing, considering...
Comment: that David Barron has some excellent audio and video products. I was really expecting great things from David when I purchased this book, based on some of the other quality items I have of his. But there is nothing new hear in this very brief book that hasn't been covered more extensively in other NLP and sales related books such as Donald J. Moines' "Unlimited Selling Power," a must have for any sales person.

Summary: Why not read Tony Robbins
Comment: I am utterly amazed. Much of this book is just a rewrite of Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins therefore other than as a quick recap on NLP, I see little use for it. The author should have at least given credit to Robbins rather that just simply trawling out his lines, virtually word for word....Even the example taken from Brian Tracy on the 3% who wrote down their goals has not been credited to Tracy........Waste of time

This book presents the techniques and uses of self-hypnosis for change and healing - including a new chapter on dealing with everyday stresses and the story of the author's remarkable success in using self-hypnosis in the preparation for his own quadruple-bypass heart surgery. This expert's guide demystifies the process of self-hypnosis, presenting a clear and straightforward case for its use in achieving personal change, heightening creativity, dealing with the stresses of everyday life, and promoting healing. By sharing his own story of discovery as well as the fascinating stories and techniques he used with some of his 2,000 patients, Dr. Fisher dispels myths and describes how readers can create their own 90-second exercise to talk to their bodies and minds to alleviate problems such as insomnia, smoking, overeating, memory loss, pain, skin allergies, fear of flying, and performance anxiety.
