Aristotle, Rhetoric |
A study of persuasion in three books. I have selected this link because many consider Aristotle's Rhetoric to be the most comprehensive treatment of argument and persuasion in the history of western civilization. Not an easy read but a rewarding one if you want to get to the source of material we cover on argument. |

Since my Negotiating tip of the week site has already been discovered by Anne, here's another that appears to be a consulting company. It does provide a free report and background info on India but others have to be purchased. Again a site related to international negotiations which is an area of great interest to me as I try to influence partners in major capital projects. |

Power Speaking |
I’ve taken two of the Power Speaking courses in the past and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to improve or fine tune their presentation skills. The format is typically two days in which you are video taped and coached on how to improve your poise and delivery of core message. They have courses ranging from "technical speaking" to "Presenting to C-level Executives." |

Favorite Business Author - Nassin Nicolas Taleb |
Nassin Nicolas Taleb wrote a book about how to anticipate the unpredictable named The Black Swan, The Impact of the Highly Improbable. Mr. Taleb theorizes that the unpredictability and randomness affect the world's greatest discoveries and events. I am sure that we could discuss many of the classical fallacies in his theories. |
