Download Verbal Judo, Updated Edition: The Gentle Art of Persuasion AudioBook Free
When you react, the event regulates you. When you respond, you're in charge. Verbal Judo is the traditional guide to the style of the mind and mouth that can help you defuse confrontations and generate co-operation, whether you're speaking with a manager, a spouse, or even a teenager. For more than a generation, Dr. George J. Thompson's essential handbook has educated people how to speak more confidently and persuasively in virtually any situation. Verbal Judo shows you how to pay attention and speak better, indulge others through empathy (the most effective phrase in the English words), avoid the most frequent conversational disasters, and use proven strategies to successfully point out your viewpoint - and take the business lead in most disputes. This updated edition carries a new foreword and a section featuring Dr. Thompson's five widespread truths of human interaction:
- People wish to be reputed
- People would prefer to be asked than find out
- People have a desire to know why
- People prefer to have options over threats
- People want to have second chances
