What if charisma could be taught?
Many people believe that charisma is a fundamental quality - you either have it or you don't. But that's simply not true. This groundbreaking, bestselling book reveals how charismatic behaviour can be learned by anyone.
In The Charisma Myth, Olivia Fox Cabane breaks charisma down into its fundamental components, revealing the secrets to how it works.
Becoming more charismatic doesn't mean transforming your personality. It's about adopting a series of practices that suit you.
Charisma can be a great asset whether you're applying for a job, improving your relationships, or leading other people. The Charisma Myth shows you how to become more influential, more persuasive, and more inspiring. Soon you'll be able to move through a room and have people say: 'Wow, who's that?'
What if charisma could be taught?
What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab, and every person you meet, a chance to experiment.
The Charisma Myth is a mix of fun stories, sound science, and practical tools. Cabane takes a scientific approach to a heretofore mystical topic, covering what charisma actually is, how it is learned, what its side effects are, and how to handle them.
