ritvars 's review for:
The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism
by Olivia Fox Cabane
Gives a decent blueprint on different types of charisma, as there isn't one, as the visionary one like Steve Jobs that easily comes to mind or authoritative like the many rulers in our history.
There are also other types of charisma that can be as impactful, like focus charisma, where you give your undivided attention to the other person and finding the interesting in each person who you come in contact with. Or kindness charisma, where you communicate to other people with warmth and empathy.
What is great about focus and kindness charisma that they are easier to master in a way and more useful in day to day life. As the author gives a lot of attention in the book to mindful and being present, which has impacted my life in a more meaningful way.
What's wonderful about this book, that it doesn't just talk about the subject, but also gives simple, actionable exercises on how to become more mindful and how to reduce anxiety in high-stress situations.
No one is born charismatic, it's a learnable skill and this book shows ways on how to cultivate it.
