If you think you may learn something nice from the book, grab it while it still costs $1.99; worst consequence: return it within 7 days for a refund. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A delightful look at the two-headed arrow of influence: yourself and others *by G***R on October 17, 2017* Tali Sharot is a cognitive neuroscientist. “I work at the intersection between psychology and neuroscience.” And what an interesting workplace it is. It’s a place reinforced by data and studies and experiments, but which still provides a view of the surrounding landscape we call the human experience.As the title suggests, this is a book about influence. What is it and how does it work? Some of the answers are logically obvious, but understanding the why behind the what always contributes to better understanding and more effective application. Much of it, however, is counter-intuitive, although here Dr. Sharot puts the knowledge in context, which has the effect of making the counter-intuitive inherently intuitive. It’s our perspective, not the reality, which causes the initial misrepresentation.I can’t say whether the book did a better job of expanding the understanding necessary to influence others or better understanding the way in which I myself am influenced. And that, in the end, is a testament to the overall structure of the book. It’s comprehensive and even-handed, a balance that is often lacking in this kind of work.Dr. Sharot’s philosopher-self also chimes into the discussion from time to time. “There is no single truth we all agree on.” It is a timeless observation that has, perhaps, never been more timely or appropriate.One example that could only be found at the intersection of psychology and neuroscience is: “It is important, then, to be mindful that we are altering people’s emotions simply by experiencing feelings ourselves.” Emotion is a two-headed arrow—a dichotomy; much like a lot of life.In turns out that influence is a little subtler than we might have come to believe. The right strategy requires the right context. It’s another reminder that no behavior exists in a vacuum. Before we can figure out what to do, we must know where we are. It makes sense to me.One of the money lines for me was: “It’s not magic; nor is it wisdom. It’s math.” (The middle four words are the treasure.) In this case Dr. Sharot is talking about external and systematic bias, perhaps the greatest challenge we face in the computational age of digital rankings and the super-sized influence of digital virality. (Would be writers and artists, in particular, will find some much needed shelter in her analysis in this area. I know I did.)She also reinforces the duality of the human convention of language, which, she notes has existed in the written form for only 5,200 years, a blink of the eye on the human timeline. It has, she insightfully observes, opened new doors to knowledge and pathways of influence that lead both to understanding and misinformation. (Fake news is not new; technology has simply empowered it.)All told this is a very solid book that almost everyone will get something out of. The writing is fluid and the author shows a sense of wit and good humor not always found in books built on scientific research.I honestly can’t explain why I didn’t give this book a five star rating. It is definitely worth your time. Whatever the reason I suspect it had something to do with influence. Most things do. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read for anybody… *by F***C on August 10, 2022* Though none o the readers of the won’t immediately become mind alterers they may suffer far less on communicating their ideas.A concrete and essential guide to our basic mental mechanisms. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Influential Mind: What the Brain Reveals About Our Power to Change Others - Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/46764397-the-influential-mind-what-the-brain-reveals-about-our-power](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/46764397-the-influential-mind-what-the-brain-reveals-about-our-power) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
