Translated into multiple foreign languages, Instant Persuasion is a unique communication book that offers a creative way to reduce stress, resolve conflict, and enrich our relationships with family members, friends, and coworkers. Laurie Puhn cleverly translates complex mediation skills into simple, practical communication rules that readers can easily apply during everyday situations to instantly persuade others to listen to, cooperate with, respect, and like them. The rules are revealed through real-life anecdotes that show readers how to say the right words at the right time to convince others to give them what they want.

Some Instant Persuasion rules include how to:

- Find factual solutions.
- Complain with impact.
- Disagree without being disagreeable.
- Beware of uncomplimentary compliments.
- Avoid superficial offers.

Puhn presents readers with a script that will allow them to smoothly implement these rules in everyday life and change the way they communicate forever. You don't need to be smarter, luckier, or work harder to live a happier, more successful life. You just need to be persuasive.

Instant Persuasion is an amazing tool that has the power to transform friendships, marriages, dating lives and careers.
