The 50 Best Social Psychology Books on Persuasion, Influence and Understanding Your Brain

The 50 Best Social Psychology Books on Persuasion, Influence and Understanding Your Brain | Just Story It | Scoop.it
From www.sparringmind.com - September 20, 2012 9:42 AM

Have you ever wanted to be more persuasive, convincing, or if nothing else, understand how others try to influence you? …Of course! Who hasn’t?


Understanding how storytelling works in persuasion, influence, and change, and the research/neuroscience that informs it all is critical if anyone is going to work with stories effectively.


And hooray -- Gregory Ciotti has put together his list of favorite books that help us understand persuasion, influence, change, and stories more deeply. We'll all become more articulate and better at our craft -- whether you are a consultant, storyteller, entrepreneur or CEO.


Some of these I've read, some I haven't -- so I can't wait to dig into this list myself.


I hope we all learn lots and gain lots of useable insights for our work. Enjoy!

Wow! Talk about authenticity! Do you have the guts to do what this guy did with your resume? Well, I'm thinking about it.


I don't know how this worked, but frankly it is wonderfully refreshing. And I think any employer who would discount this is crazy. But then again, that's me :)


Enjoy reading this piece on this lovely Friday -- and get inspired!

7 Cool Resumes We Found On Pinterest -- New App for Visual Storytelling

7 Cool Resumes We Found On Pinterest -- New App for Visual Storytelling | Just Story It | Scoop.it
From www.businessinsider.com - February 17, 2012 10:01 AM
It's the newest job search tool. The visual nature of Pinterest, which allows users to create virtual boards onto which they can pin images, is perfect for showing prospective employers what you've done so far.


What a cool post! I don't know how pervasive visual storied resumes will become, but if you are in certain creative and technical fields, this could be right up your alley. Or if you want to stand out in any crowd of job applicants!


These are very creative examples of how job seekers are storifying and visualizing their resumes. You can do this too! 


For non-job seekers: think about turning your 'resume' into a visual story that you can use on your "About Us" page, or add it into your printed promo material. It could really make you stand out and be fun to boot!


Are these technically stories? Eh -- maybe yes, maybe no. But at the very least they are using storytelling elements.


Enjoy looking at these and I hope you get lots of great ideas for your resume/bio.
