Influence, New and Expanded
The Psychology of Persuasion
Summary:

It details six universal principles of influence—reciprocity, commitment and consistency, social proof, authority, liking, and scarcity—and discusses how to use them to become a skilled persuader.
Key points:
1. Reciprocity: People feel obliged to return favors. This can be used to persuade by first giving something.
