"Excellent subject--Lacks punch & expediency"
This was a very enjoyable read, and did a fair job of covering the aspects of charisma--and how to raise our levels of it. Charisma is a real thing. It is an eviable attribute of actors, athletes, musicians, wealthy business people and others. Are we born with it? Possibly--however, I, as well as the author believe each of us can increase our level of charisma. This book was chock-full of very useful information. My only complaint was, after each example the author threw in an anecdote. An example or explanation of the topic presented is an excellent way to write--when done tastefully. The author embellished each and every topic discussed. The only problem with writing in this manner is, it sidetracks the reader rather than focusing on the topic. After reading hundreds of self-help books I have come to the conclusion that the best of their genre focus on direct principles rather than stories about the author or others. It is very true that with a high level of charisma each one of us would accomplish more than we could imagine. I applaud the author on addressing this topic--and do highly recommend this book.

A very wise book
Not only is Operation Charisma a thorough review of many aspects involved in the development of charisma, it is also a highly insightful manual on the underlying events that occur in human interaction. There is wisdom in the numerous examples which illustrate life situations where a more charismatic approach would have created a big difference. This book has truly helped me overcome my shyness and lower my anxiety level when addressing others. Similar Products
