About this ebook
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.

Book with practical approaches. One thing that this book taught me was that you never stop making connections even as you get older. Opportunities are everywhere and more genuine connections gives you and your connections a higher chances of success

What stuck with me is the simple formula of what makes a person charismatic. power+ warmth+ presence. Amazing. In a nutshell, look within to heal the wounds that damage the outward personality. The exercises walk you through this exact process. Read even if you are not looking to make dramatic changes in your life.
