This title in other editionsThe Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetismby Olivia Fox Cabane
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:What if charisma could be taught? For the first time, science and technology have taken charisma apart, figured it out and turned it into an applied science: In controlled laboratory experiments, researchers could raise or lower people's level of charisma as if they were turning a dial. What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab, and every person you meet, a chance to experiment. The Charisma Myth is a mix of fun stories, sound science, and practical tools. Cabane takes a hard scientific approach to a heretofore mystical topic, covering what charisma actually is, how it is learned, what its side effects are, and how to handle them. Synopsis:What if charisma could be taught? The charisma myth is the idea that charisma is a fundamental, inborn quality—you either have it (Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs, Oprah) or you don’t. But that’s simply not true, as Olivia Fox Cabane reveals. Charismatic behaviors can be learned and perfected by anyone. Drawing on techniques she originally developed for Harvard and MIT, Cabane breaks charisma down into its components. Becoming more charismatic doesn’t mean transforming your fundamental personality. It’s about adopting a series of specific practices that fit in with the personality you already have. The Charisma Myth shows you how to become more influential, more persuasive, and more inspiring. Synopsis:An expert in the fields of charisma and leadership, Olivia Fox Cabane has lectured at Stanford, Yale, Harvard, MIT and the United Nations. A frequent keynote speaker and executive coach to the leadership of major companies, she helps people increase their ability to influence, persuade, and inspire others. In The Charisma Myth, Fox Cabane breaks charisma down into its fundamental components, revealing the secrets to what charisma really is and how it works. From a base of thorough behavioral science, Fox Cabane extracts practical tools for business, giving you the charisma-enhancing techniques she originally developed for Harvard and MIT.
