book review: the charisma myth

book review: the charisma myth

The myth is that charisma is something that you’re born with. The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane sets out to prove this wrong. Continuing in my journey in becoming a better conversationalist I read this book right after I read Just Listen; both of which are a good branch off from the classic, How to Win Friends and Influence Others.

I’m always up for an adventure and Matt & Jenn’s engagement session on grouse mountain certainly fit the bill. We headed up to Grouse in the morning and at that time it wasn’t raining in Vancouver so we were optimistic about the conditions on the mountain. Once we got to the parking lot we were greeted with some heavy fog, but none the less we remained excited about the shoot.

Having aspirations to one day be a great conversationalist, Just Listen by Mark Goulston was right up my ally. Mark is a psychiatrist by trade but has helped on things from hostage negotiations to turning around companies and even just getting through to children.
