The small BIG: small changes that spark big influence

The small BIG: small changes that spark big influence

by Steve Martin (Author), Noah Goldstein (Author), Professor Robert B. Cialdini (Author)

Synopsis

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.

The great Robert Cialdini teams with two other scholars to review the latest research in the science of persuasion and offer practical ways to put that research to use. This might be the first book I've read in which the passages I underlined outnumbered the passages I didn't. -- Dan Pink
