- How to Influence Anyone to do Anything
(Any one of 6 manipulative techniques you will learn by age 4.)
I'll break them down quickly.
- 1) The Law of Reciprocity - Bribery. Blackmail. Bargain.
2) Commitment and Consistency - Remind lackey that s/he is unallowed to change streams.
3) Social Proof - Appeal to the Lemming "Everyone does it" mentality.
4) Liking - Turn into a gelatinous glob of 'people pleasing' so people will like you.
5) Authority - Pretend you know something when you may not or flaunt what you do know.
6) Scarcity - Turn a person's fear of inadequacy or loss against them.
- From the page: "Now that you understand the 6 lethal weapons of influence, tell me how can the kid get his dad to buy him the ice-cream?" According to this article the kid can...
- 1) Threaten to throw a fit or promise to clean his room.
2) Remind dad how he always buys him ice-cream.
3) Tell dad that all the other kids' dads will be buying their kid ice-cream.
4) Be extra sweet and dance a little jig for the relatives.
5) Share with dad how you have not had your daily calcium.
6) He's the worst dad in the world if he denies you a simple ice-cream.
