Influence and change yourself

Excellent book with wrong subtitle - we can not change anything (or everything), just ourselves. And this is where influenece and change starts. Influence yourself and you are on good track to influence the others. One raindrop rise the ocean, change of one person changes the world.

Helpful for Mommy

Despite some of the more negative reviews, I found Influencer: The Power to Change Anything very helpful in my parenting. Children often participate in destructive behaviors and parents often respond negatively. This book put more focus on finding the vital behaviors that make kids act the way they do and change those positively.

Let me clarify that for a moment. This book is not about parents and their kids - it's about behaviors that apply to any situation. Discover those behaviors and change them positively. It can work in business, politics, at home, etc. Few books that focus solely on parenting work even nearly that well.

The examples given were precise regarding the point they portrayed. They aren't likely to be entirely about your exact circumstance, but thoroughly show how these behaviors can be found and what can be done about them. It's a guide only. The details are up to you because only you can determine the behaviors of your given situation.

It's not a parenting book, but as far as parenting resources go, it is the best book in my resource library. It tells you what to find, how to find it, and how to change it with very thorough examples of how it has been done already. I have found that my far more specific parenting books miss the forest for the trees compared to Influencer.

To become an INFLUENCER you must change your ways first...

This is an easy to read and easy to understand book that "may" help you become an influencer. However, before becoming an influence to others, there are necessary and more important steps you need to do - influence your own self.

How? BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION. This tried and tested concept is evident in all aspects of human life in achieving one's goal. From working and work ethics to physical fitness and dieting, you will see this very word applied - "behavior modification."

Naturally before you influence others, you need to change your own ways. It sounds like a no-brainer statement. But surprisingly difficult for others to apply on themselves. This book will help oneself understand their own patterns in life or aspects of such that they need to change. Then and only then after they have seen their own self can they perform a paradigm shift. After this shift, they can now begin to understand others as well. And it's not just about understanding others, but being able to know how to approach them from an angle that will be understood. For it may be obvious to confront a person head on, but that very same person make also take it as an "attack" which will then create a defensive or equally offensive reaction rather than an open discussion of realizations.

This book will not give you instant power to change oneself and influence others. It is a guide to self-realization. If you read it with an open mind, then you are off to a positive start. What the authors will do is help you understand where they are coming from by giving examples of known real-life problems and solutions. In understanding these examples and the concepts they provide throughout the book, then you are able to think about your own in the process and create solutions in the process.

This book is not for everyone. It will be basic for others. While others who seek solutions, it won't solve your own problem magically. It is a guide. For those who can read and approach this book as well as other similar books with an open mind, it's a good start to self-realization.
