Interesting to see Influence so high, but Predictably Irrational not listed at all. I've heard Influence is a really great book, but from a quick skim it seems like Predictably Irrational covers the subject matter as least as well if not better. I'd be happy to hear the opinion of someone who has actually read both.
I've read both and Influence is far more useful if you're trying to, well, influence someone. The art of influencing is complex and involves more than just a few behavioral economics insights. Influence is a total framework for understanding the psychology and emotions of selling.
I was surprised not to see Dale Carnegie's book either but I suppose its rather dated and not as scientific (How to win friends and...). Carnegie's book had some of the greatest impacts on my personal life and professional.
Agree, that book is a real classic, I got my copy from amazon actually.
As a side note, the failure of both of us to actually mention the book's full title (or include its amazon link) presumably means that neither of the services being discussed would have registered this as a vote for the book. We're part of the problem! ;)
Influence was a great book, but it is a bit outdated (in my opinion). Predictably Irrational and his other books were much more relevant. Thinking Fast and Slow was the best one of then all.
