Despite the negative image, however, conflict and anger need not erupt in disaster. They can often be opportunities for developing new skills, furthering personal improvement and growing toward full potential. But you must take advantage of them.

It has an incubation period of just seconds and can instantly disarm even the most discerning mind. Flipnosis is black-belt mind control. It doesn't just turn the tables; it kicks them over.

Each year, sales professionals leave billions of dollars on the table because they are out gunned, out maneuvered, and out played by savvy buyers, who have been schooled in the art and science of negotiation. Because today's buyers have more power than ever before - more information, more at stake, and more control over the buying process-they almost always enter sales negotiations in a much stronger position than the salespeople on the other side of the table. The results are sadly predictable: Salespeople and their companies end up on the losing end of the deal.

When you love someone, how does it feel? And when you desire someone, how is it different? In Mating in Captivity, Esther Perel looks at the story of sex in committed couples. Modern romance promises it all - a lifetime of togetherness, intimacy and erotic desire. In reality, it's hard to want what you already have. Our quest for secure love conflicts with our pursuit of passion. And often, the very thing that got us to into our relationships - lust - is the one thing that goes missing from them.

Perhaps they've tried it in the past and it hasn't worked. Or perhaps this new technology is confusing, expensive, or frustrating, and that's held them back from taking advantage of it. If you're ready to take the next step and learn a new skill set that will give you a huge advantage over what other authors are doing today, listen to Dictate Your Book and start working through the challenges that are holding you back from reaping the benefits of dictation.

Story
Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths. It is the amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a maze and look for cheese to nourish them and make them happy. Cheese is a metaphor for what you want to have in life, for example a good job, a loving relationship, money or possessions, health or spiritual peace of mind. The maze is where you look for what you want, perhaps the organisation you work in or the family or community you live in. The problem is that the cheese keeps moving.

Great message but poor delivery
The message and stories are good advice but sometimes can reeks of sly methods.
Delivery was poorly recorded and extremely poorly edited. Every chapter starts and ends with this very cheesy annoying music that overlays the message. The music volume is so high that you cannot hear the main message.
I want to love this book but the music makes overlay makes me want to delete this book Everytime I hear it.

great information unfortunately from Nightingale
The content is excellence and actionable, at least what is not drowned out with music. The narrator is clear, when not drowned out with music. Unfortunately another poorly produced Nightingale production. If I did not know that it was great information, I would have skipped it when I say it was from Nightingale.

The book feels like one big sales pitch
I already bought the book. I understand starting out with a few sentences talking about what a rainmaker is and why I should care, but the first 1/3rd of the book is just pitching the book. It got so boring spending 2 hours to the author talk about why you should be a rainmaker. Hell, the author breaks into poetry on why you should follow their method at one point! I couldn't even finish the book. In all that time the author made 2 small suggestions, and then went back as too why you should be that person rather than why the suggestions work.

Less than I expected
I have read this book and hoped this program would have had more elaboration and discussion about what it takes to be a true "rainmaker" instead it was filled with the same content but anecdotes about how to some of the stuff mentioned.
Don't get me wrong, I found some of the content valuable, I guess I was just hoping for more.
If you've never read this book, get this program, if you have, don't bother.
