Persuasion: Part 1
About this episode
<p>We all exert pressure on each other in ways small and profound. We recommend movies or books to a friend. We convince a colleague to take a different tactic at work. We lobby a neighbor to vote for our favored political candidate. This week, we launch the first of a two-part mini-series on the science of influence, and talk with psychologist <a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/10913">Robert Cialdini</a> about how we can all improve our techniques for persuading others. </p><p><i>Trying to make a big decision or fulfill a personal goal in the year to come?
