Rediscover the superpower that makes good things happen from the professor behind Yale School
of Management's most popular class The new rules of persuasion for a better world.”—Charles
Duhigg author of the bestsellers The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better You were born
influential. But then you were taught to suppress that power to follow the rules to wait your
turn to not make waves. Award-winning Yale professor Zoe Chance will show you how to
rediscover the superpower that brings great ideas to life. Influence doesn’t work the way you
think because you don’t think the way you think. Move past common misconceptions—such as the
idea that asking for more will make people dislike you—and understand why your go-to
negotiation strategies are probably making you less influential. Discover the one thing that
influences behavior more than anything else. Learn to cultivate charisma negotiate comfortably
and creatively and spot manipulators before it’s too late. Along the way you’ll meet
alligators skydivers a mind reader in a gorilla costume Jennifer Lawrence Genghis Khan and
the man who saved the world by saying no. Influence Is Your Superpower will teach you how to
transform your life your organization and perhaps even the course of history. It’s an ethical
approach to influence that will make life better for everyone starting with you.
