To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth about Moving Others by Daniel H. Pink

3.0

Read this book in a day. All told, it took me 3 hours. The book is excellent, and if you are in the mood to learn how to sell and influence others in your work, it will be an easy and enjoyable read for you as well. There are some practical tips that you can employ immediately to get your point across more clearly and convincingly while taking the slime out of sales! There is plenty of scientific references and study excerpts to tease even the biggest psychology and social science nerds out there. If you already agree with the authors premise that selling is important, regardless if your job title includes "sales" anywhere in it, then you can skim/skip the first 25% of the book where he essentially makes the well-justified point that everyone is a salesperson, at least, some of the time.
