The Charisma Myth

How to Engage, Influence and Motivate People

THE FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

What if charisma could be taught?

Most people believe the myth that charisma is an inborn quality – you either have it, or you don’t. In reality, charisma is a skill. One that can be learned, developed and perfected.

Drawing on techniques originally developed for Harvard and MIT, The Charisma Myth offers a captivating blend of practical tools, new science and stories uncovering the nuances of charisma.

This revised and updated edition is packed with new insights and cutting-edge science, including TWO BRAND NEW CHAPTERS covering topics such as neurodivergence and being charismatic online.
