Step by step instructions 
Well written book that focuses on real life examples and ways of persuading people to help you get what you want. Michael concentrates on what has really worked for him in life and gives you these things in an easy to follow format. Each chapter stands alone so you can take it and apply it in your life then move on to the next chapter and apply that.
Worth the read but if you really want to get the most out of what Michael is teaching you have to apply it.

Power and Persuasion - boring
I read the first 3 chapters in this book and was fairly disappointed. I was expecting fresher ideas and presentation.

I'm going to pick up the book again when I have nothing better to read.

I read Michael Masterson's EarlytoRise e-zine at least once a week, more when I have time. So I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect from Power & Persuasion. And it didn't disappoint.

Nothing really new here
First of all, in this day and age how can a book be published with this many grammatical errors!!! C'mon Masterson, at least hire a great editor for the second printing, if it makes it that far. As far as the material goes, same ole stuff you read in every other leadership book, just different stories. I'm not mad that I bought this book, just sorta bored with all the same stuff out here. I'm sure without your e-zine this book would never have made it this far, stick to what you know best, marketing.
