Unabridged Audiobook
I've remembered lots of the tips and ideas from the latter part of this book and have used them to great success. The stuff about conscious mirroring is fantastic, as well as the "presence, power, and warmth" framework of charisma. I liked the stuff on warmth the best.
The recommendations aren't merely a sticking plaster over the 'real' (uncharismatic) you; but rather help you peel off negative habits like drifting off when speaking with people, or holding onto resentment; thus exposing the real charismatic You
This book is not so different. Yet it places the myth of charisma in a decent perspective
I recommend this book to anyone who struggles with friendship problems, social situations, business situations, or even self-esteem. I have never expected to learn so much from this book and would recommend it to anyone.
I got this book mainly so I could better improve my interaction with friends, and the tools I found in this book have impacted my life in such a way that I never expected.
It's so good that I have recommended it to several of my colleagues and it has already changed the way I manage my team and relate to my coworkers
I began listening The Charisma Myth expecting more of the same, frankly: platitudes, some common sense stuff, the kinds of advice that will only make sense to people who don't need it. I was just hoping for a tidbit or two that would be useful.
I read a lot of books in this genre - call it "professional self-help." I've spoken professionally a few times now about leadership and communication, and for my most recent one just a few months ago I did a ton of reading research and a lot of it was books like this one. Most of them are mediocre
One of the core messages of this book is that you have to feel the emotions you want to project. If you're feeling anxious or generally negative, as the book says, these emotions will "leak" out (in the form of micro expressions, which are pretty much agreed to not be detectable by almost all people), and turn people off.
