058 - Think Remarkable, by Guy Kawasaki

The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane combines fun stories, sound science, and practical tools to explain how charisma can be learned and developed. Cabane breaks down charisma into its fundamental components, including presence, power, and warmth. The book describes four types of charisma: focus charisma, visionary charisma, kindness charisma, and explains how these qualities can be developed through specific behaviors and mental states. It emphasizes that charisma is not an innate quality but rather a skill that can be acquired through practice and the right mental approaches.
