Phew! What a couple of days it’s been.
On January 26th my new book, Persuadable: How Great Leaders Change Their Minds to Change the World, went on sale, and hours later it made #1 new release in business decision making, and climbed all the way to #377 on Amazon in all of books!
I had a lot of help ...
My appearance on The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC was a huge hit. Check out our conversation titled, How to Win Friends By Letting Them Influence You.
The inimitable Seth Godin posted this incredible endorsement on his blog:
““Today’s the day that bestselling author Al Pittampalli’s book, Persuadable, launches. His new book is a big deal, a research-based, practical guide to help us understand that people who change their minds are actually the most likely to change the world. A must read. Al keeps challenging our perceptions and helping us make a difference with our work.””
And the two articles that I wrote, one for Fast Company called Why Entrepreneurs Should Practice Defensive Pessimism and the other for Quartz called How Changing your Mind Makes You a Better Leader have been shared hundreds and hundreds of times.
By the way, here’s my favorite five-star review from one of Amazon’s Hall of Fame (Top 500) reviewers, Bob Morris.
If you haven’t already bought my book, Persuadable, I hope you will. Thanks so much for your continued support. Looking forward to updating you again soon.
