How to Influence Others | Robert Cialdini | Big Think

I bought the book lately. Im still reading through it, it’s good but my only problem with the book is that it is one of those books that are not “direct & to the point”.

I guess one of them is having a very low voice.

I believe there is more to this but the producer just cut off the rest and just gave us the "alright" or "acceptable" part by the society that we now live in, just to make the other people happy and not to hurt their emotions. Great video though, no hate.

Cialdini:
1. Gives you advice (you’ll want to like the video/buy his book)
2. Knows that you are the shepherd of your own life, why wouldn’t you want to hear these important tips?
3. Knows that others will want to know this, don’t miss out!
4. Smiles and has a friendly demeanour, also gives you friendly advice
5. Presents himself as a scientist (and wears a suit)
6. Explains that this book is special as it contains certain knowledge you won’t find elsewhere

He knows his stuff! ;)

Are u influencing me rn?

One of my Doctors used these tactics on me and I knew something wasn't right. I knew he was hiding something, but I couldn't work out what.
When I found out he lives by these manipulations techniques I was absolutely appalled and disgusted beyond measure😠
What a total creep. 
We the mere plebs, his customers and his clients are not as dumb as he thinks we are!! He might be RICH but as a human being he is ... p o o r.

He looks like that alien from men in black

Couldn’t listen to it because of the sound. Even though I put on max, I couldn’t hear anything. The guy is whispering

I'm glad I read this book, it's gob smacking in parts as these tactics were used on me. 😠 But better to know the psychology so one can identity them being used even by 'respected' title bearing professionals.

10 years ago? amazing I was surprised because of the screen ratio

Excited to use this information to help persuade people to stop goddamn littering 😂

This is truly amazing.

He speaks in the exact same manner in which he writes.

I learned a lot from your video.

Thank you for this insightful video. Merci ☀️

Wisdom right here

Authority when it is just perceived or organizational fake hierarchy assembled to keep employees in line, or soldiers, or cities etc. can lead to the worst in human behavior, abuse, and rationalization of horrific and destructive patterns.

The reason is because it subconsciously WORKS. Like with writing, our social structures can Look like authority but just be a bunch of self-righteous assholes. Just saying. Same reason words work. They stand for a reality. Trigger our responses the same as reality. Automatically.

Genuine vs spurious manipulation

=KEY

SOMETIMES SOMEONE WHO COULD SAVE THE WORLD LIVES IN A SWAMP. —the primary lesson of YODA on DAGOBAH. 😂 👍🏻

Still remember that crying Indian. OMG. I’m crying 😭 right now.

This is what went wrong with the corona mandates. The authorities are not genuine

Noding head=persuation to yes

Wearing navy blue , is a start to persuading people. Presidential Debates are a good example of this.

This man has pulled the curtain BACK! Man your good, Iove the old 6 laws video. Reciprocity was airport flowers. So powerful an almost super power.

Brilliant

If u want to influence other dont be selfish and tell the truth as simple as dat no need to study years or complicate things to sound smart

Are those who know and those who don’t know equal?

Add Watson, Rayner, Pavlov, Milgram, Zimbardo, and Huff, and you've got a pretty complete picture of how politicians have turned society into the $#!+ show that it is today.

He seems like a noble individual. But who knows, he's a psychologist, perhaps I've just been manipulated 🤷🏻‍♂️

I recently finished his famous book of Influence. just amazing. taught me a lot! thanks Robert. good thing is, I am not tax payer ;)

This is a VERY smart man right there.

Lmao this wizard is using his power of influence to get you to buy his book well played sir

If he says that speaking slightly faster pace raises credibility, then why is he talking so slow in this video? Got em.

Testing

Andrew Yang 2020!

He clearly explains

Not everyone thinks like this person!!!

Only in America. My studies show that people in other countries find "shit talk" like this guy is dribbling, from someone who exudes a certain type of elitist confidences brought about by self-prescribed esoteric "knowledge", and coupled with the thousand mile stare of an evangelical preacher and a face fit for radio, rather vulgar and reprehensible.
If you're dumb enough to buy it (Americans who bought the whole Jesus thing), it doesn't mean others will subscribe to your brand of idiocy.

There is also fake advertising the"crying Indian"(iron eyes cody)wasn't even native American he was of Italian parentage.

Notice how he made a dry cough in one part - to create resonance with the audience.

You spelled his name wrong in the description.

thank you .But me as a salesman in Canada when I gave something free ,the result was bad!and this way you make cheap your product.that is what I saw!!!

What about Ads that show People Cleaning Up the areas with a smile.? I did like the littering into a Prestine clean environment too! Great Info Robert. 2nd time watching and LIstening. Now its Application time. watching it a 3rd or more is even better! Make it an Phenom day Robert..
