The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism

The Charisma Myth is the idea that charisma is a fundamental, inborn quality.  You either have it – like

Bill Clinton and Oprah – or you don’t.  But that’s simply not true.

 

Charisma:

  • Can be learned by anyone
  • Is not limited to outgoing personality types – shy people can be equally charismatic
  • Is not dependent on physical appearance or attractiveness

 

 

 

Expensive clothing leads us to assume wealth. Friendly body language leads us to assume good intentions.   A confident posture leads us to assume the person has something to be confident about.”

 

The secret recipe that produces higher charisma:  be more present and serve up equal servings of power and warmth.
