Book Introduction
A word from MD
Now, persuasion is done through 'brain science'.
In the end, what moves us is the ‘brain’.
The answer to moving the other person's mind and actions also lies in that person's brain.
By studying the 12 mechanisms of focus, influence, memory, and learning, we scientifically unravel the techniques that make the other person's brain remember your story and choose you at the crucial moment.

“No matter how many times you say it, it won’t work
Because you don’t know what’s in the other person’s head!”

At the decisive moment, I can move the opponent as I wish.
12 Dangerous and Perfect Mechanisms of Persuasion


Despite the countless conversational skills books hitting the shelves every year, we still struggle to connect with people.
The reason is simple.
This is because ‘science’ has a stronger influence than ‘conversation’ in communication between people.
Of course, it is important to learn excellent speaking skills and conversational skills that create likability and trust.
But more importantly, use strategies that allow your opponent to focus completely on you.
The strategy to deeply imprint 'me' on the other person and make them remember me for a very long time does not start from conversational methods, but from the 'mechanism of brain science'.
No matter how excellent your speaking skills and extensive knowledge are, if the other person has no interest, there is nothing to be gained from it.
The answer to what people react passionately to, in what situations they are willing to open up, what they remember for a long time and what deeply affects them lies not in me, but in their "other brain."
This book explores twelve mechanisms that exist in the human mind: focus, influence, memory, and learning.
This provides a fascinating insight into how powerful persuasive power, capable of captivating people in an instant, is created at a crucial moment.

If you want to be persuasive, the answer lies with the other person, not with me.
Rather than honing my own abilities, I need to make the other person's abilities stand out.
You have to open the other person's brain and find out how he or she best understands, remembers, and cares about you.
This book will be the wisest sherpa to guide you along that path.

Into the book
Despite the countless books on conversation techniques being published, we still fail to win people over.
The reason is simple.
Because communication between people requires 'science', not conversation.
If you want to become a master of persuasion, you need to develop a deep understanding of what people respond to, what they learn and remember best, and in what situations they most dramatically change their minds and take action.

--- From "Communication is not a conversation, it is a science"

If you have ten pieces of information you want to convey, forcing people to memorize all ten of them will be a failure.
Let one know two, and let two know three.
Do you have a lot of things you want to show off in your room? The best way to do this isn't to describe them all, but to simply turn on a light to brighten up your room.
The person who knows how to plant that light switch in people's heads will succeed.
--- From "How We Learn"

We try to collect as much information as possible.
So, we try to multitask to get more done in a given amount of time.
Multiplayer is considered a capable person.
But our brains have a very hard time accepting more than two streams of information simultaneously.
As a neuroscientist who studies and teaches brain science, my advice is simple: "Focus on one thing!"
--- From "Focus on One Thing"

By replacing text with images on your slides, your audience will more likely perceive you as a well-prepared, knowledgeable, and capable professional.
My liking for you also increases.
No kidding! Scientific studies are constantly being published, and it's true.
--- From "Combine the Two"

Have you ever noticed that most traffic lights on the street are installed at the same height? When people can accurately predict where information is likely to occur, they spend less time and energy interpreting it.
Assume that not all road signs are mounted on poles of the same height.
How difficult would driving be if we had to pay attention to the height of each road sign!
--- From "Break the predictions while maintaining consistency"

“The moment you turn it on, the other person’s thoughts and actions change immediately.
“Find the fatal switch!”

Until now, no one knew about it, so we only stuck to the obvious conversational methods.

The Secrets of Persuasion Hidden in Human Learning, Memory, and Brain Stimulation

The author of this book, Dr. Jared Cooney-Horvath, is a neuroscientist who studies human learning, memory, and brain stimulation.
He gained a reputation as a young scholar in the field of brain science while teaching at Harvard University and Harvard Medical School, and is currently conducting active research and lecturing at over 150 schools, including the University of Melbourne.


In particular, he has garnered significant attention from CEOs and businesspeople around the world for his insightful writings and lectures on how brain science is transforming interpersonal communication.
He says in this book:
"Do you want to communicate successfully? Do you want to impress someone with your presence? Do you want to exert a captivating influence on someone? The answers to these questions are all in his head.
“Find the mechanism by which he best understands and remembers you.”

If you want to beat out fierce competitors and become the person chosen by others, you must understand how others think, learn, and remember.
Knowing that, you can flip a switch in the other person's head that strengthens their perception of you.
It's a switch that, as soon as you turn it on, makes more things about you shine brightly in the other person's mind.
Dr. Horvath says:
“The second thing is knowing your opponent well.
“First, the other person must know you well.”

Yes, that's right.
Outstanding persuasiveness and influence are not something I convey to others.
It depends on what kind of persuasion and influence the other person chooses.
Do you want to manipulate others to your will? Do you want to make them yours? Then find the amazing switch that will make them choose you!

Furthermore, Dr. Horvath encourages us to explore the true meaning of 'knowing someone' through this book.
Because all work and life is ultimately determined by ‘knowledge of people.’
This book tells a fascinating story about how people think, learn, and remember.
It conveys a surprising message about what people react passionately to, what they are fascinated by, and what kind of people they open their hearts to.
This is why Dr. Horvath and this book have been cited countless times in global media such as [The New York Times], [The Economist], [The Times], BBC, ABC, etc.

Do you want to win someone over? Do you want to open their heart? Enter their mind and explore through this book.

“Give up all strategies and expectations of using your opponent.
“Let the other person use me, that is the only answer!”
