The small BIG: Small Changes that Spark Big Influence

At some point today you will have to influence or persuade someone - your boss, a co-worker, a customer, client, spouse, your kids, or even your friends. What is the smallest change you can make to your request, proposal or situation that will lead to the biggest difference in the outcome? 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 and stimulation saturated world, increasingly it is the small changes that you make that lead to the biggest differences. In the last few years more and more research - from fields such as neuroscience, cognitive psychology, social psychology, and behavioral economics - has helped to uncover an even greater understanding of how influence, persuasion and behavior change happens. Increasingly we are learning that it is not information per se that leads people to make decisions, but the context in which that information is presented. Drawing from extensive research in the new science of persuasion, the authors present lots of small changes (over 50 in fact) that can bring about momentous shifts in results. It turns out that anyone can significantly increase his or her ability to influence and persuade others, not by informing or educating people into change but instead by simply making small shifts in approach that link to deeply felt human motivations.

From the New York Times bestselling author on the psychology of persuasion: a brilliant new guide to improving your influence at work--and beyond. To be successful at work you also need to be influential at work. And to be influential requires an understanding of how the rules of influence work. Not just those mandated by logic, economics, and company policy. But the unspoken rules too. The rules people rarely talk about, but that frequently have an outsized impact on who and what gets listened to and done, and who and what gets ignored. Recognizing and navigating these rules of influence is crucial to your persuasive success. Influence at Work shows you what these rules are and how to effectively deploy them to command attention, connect with others, win over the skeptics, sway the undecided, and motivate people to act. The result is a new guide to an age-old subject: what influence is, why it matters, and how to use it wisely and ethically.
