About this listen

You don't persuade people. You prepare the brain to adopt.

Most professionals believe influence comes from better arguments, more data, or stronger expertise. They're wrong. In the age of AI, when information is infinite and attention is scarce, influence belongs to those who understand how the brain actually processes and adopts new ideas.

Invisible Influence reveals the cognitive science behind why people say yes, and shows you how to engineer that moment without pressure, manipulation, or force. Rich Carr guides you through the exact system top professionals use to prepare conversations where adoption feels natural, voluntary, and permanent.

You'll discover:

  • The "3-Pound Negotiator" that really makes every decision
  • Why cognitive load kills more deals than bad products
  • The Glide Path that frames any conversation for success
  • How to trigger the prediction error that opens minds
  • The language of cognitive safety that prevents resistance

This isn't persuasion. It's preparation. And it's the one influence skill AI will never replicate.

When you master invisible influence, you don't convince people to change their minds. You create the conditions where they discover your solution as if it were their own idea.

That's the quiet power you're about to hold.

You know that feeling when you have a killer idea, you present it perfectly... and it just gets shot down? Maybe it's a client, your own team, or even your partner. The usual advice is to argue your point better. But what if the problem wasn't your argument at all? What if it was the other person's brain working against you?

That "aha!" moment is exactly what Rich Carr digs into in "Invisible Influence." This isn't your typical book on persuasion. Carr, who's a cognitive learning scientist, completely flips the script. He hits you with this mind-bending stat: a whopping 88% of the time, our attempts to persuade someone fail before we've even finished talking. It's not that our logic is bad, it's that we accidentally set off silent alarms in their brain. And if this ever happened to you, this is a must listen!
