   Influence, New and Expanded: The Psychology of Persuasion, from Cialdini.

   A good book to grasp the meaning of influence on other people (or from them upon you)

   I am in the same boat and am interested in the same type of books!

   If you'd like to have some accountability and some sort of light book club kind of thing let me know, as well. I am a social creature and would love to collaborate.

   Also, I have reached out to a SaaS sales guy I know for some personal coaching... happy to let you know how that goes after this weekend :)

   My partial reading list while I wrap up at $dayJob:

   - Corporate Rebels

   - Secrets of Productive People

   - Docs for Developers

   - Influence, new and expanded (kinda meh so far)

   - Cult of the customer

   - 48 Laws of power (kinda gross, honestly)

   Finished books I would gladly re-read

   - Disruption

   - Peopleware

   - Never split the difference

   - The Scout Mindset

   - How to win friends and influence people

   - Amusing ourselves to death

   > If the argument is compelling and cogent, people listen.

   Yes, ... Maybe ... I hope software people do; maybe they pay a bit more attention to logic and reason.

   I'm otherwise reading the book "Influence, New and Expanded: The Psychology of Persuasion", and I no longer have such high expectations :-(

   > not letting people get you down.

   Good point :-) (Thanks for the reply)
