- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Some of the contemporary examples and references are a bit dated (such as the "click-whirr" of tape players), but the information is fascinating and useful. This book is simple to read and should be of great interest to anyone who doesn't want to be conned, swindled, finagled, cheated, misled, or otherwise tricked into loss of life, liberty, or property at the hands of unscrupulous merchants, politicians, or anyone else.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I liked the book. great listening and good advice for everyone
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love it. Although some strategies I heard about it from other books. But, this one talks about the strategy beaded on experiments.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The behavioral triggers discussed in this book are still applicable today. Interestingly enough, our behavioral responses haven’t evolved a much over the last 20 years, with some exceptions.
If your were born after 1985, some of the references may be alien to you, but the underlying message still valuable (e.g. Amway salesman, Sanka coffee campaign).
Really good book. Commendable job by the author in putting this work together.
