Life changing

The information on this site is incredible and so helpful to anyone. It is changing the way I perceive others, giving me confidence and gives me more meaning with all human interaction. Also, there is information on here for lifetimes with different and interesting topics/subject that all intertwine and support each other.

Godsend

Thank you so much for the effort you put in to this site. I've browsed on other topics and found them very helpful. More power to you!

There will be more papers to write and I look forward to further tapping into your exceptional online resource. Thank you so much for sharing your abilities and efforts.

Just wanted to let you know how helpful your articles entitled Basic Emotions and Primary and Secondary Emotions were for me! I am an IB student trying to tackle my second Theory of Knowledge presentation and I cannot tell you how amazing and easy it was to both understand and cite these articles.

overall site comment

Fantastic & amazingly simple to navigate about all things involving persuasion.  

Its beauty is its simplicity. No bells & whistles needed because the content speaks for itself. Bravo.

-- Julie

Awesome Website!

Just wanted to say how great your site is. It has been very beneficial to me!

Thank You

-- Dan

Hey I just quoted your article "2D and 3D Characters" in my essay for English great job!

-- Anon

Lovely site.

Thanks for the site! I'm researching being manipulated by a socialised psychopath and his mate, a Machiavellian (both subclinical0. At least, that's how I see them. Science lags so far behind reality - the study of psychopathy is in its infancy. All the subgroups - Search for '16 faces of a psychopath' - and the question of how groups of personality disordered types complement each other, none of it's addressed yet. (I think my P and M together make a Dark Triad). Anyhow, thanks!

-- Richard

I am devouring your book -- thank you for taking the time to send it over. It's more like a text book than any other book on influence I've ever read!

You've done a great job with it.

 -- Will B.

The time has come for me to formally thank you for changingminds.org.

As a behavioral scientist and lecturer, I’ve used your website for years and am always astounded by the breadth of topics, level of detail, and organizational structure. Vast, easy to use and definitely one of the most thorough and accurate resources on the web.

Thanks for an amazing resource — I will continue to sing your praises to colleagues, clients and students.

All the best,

-- Judy, USA

Keep up the good work.

-- Anon

I absolutely love your blog and find most of your post's to be just what I'm looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content available for you? I wouldn't mind publishing a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome website!

-- Anon

(See the contributing articles page for guest writing -- Dave)

THANK YOU

I need to use some of my time to thank you!

I always look for sites and articles for personal growth and what I found here was a gold mine.

the site has a number so complex content that I was speechless. In addition many of you have interesting contents, all are complete with data that I had never seen on other sites.

Good work, honestly.
KEEP GOING

Thanks for this site. I was suffering from so many disputes in my office life due to lack of this knowledge of mind manuals.

Hi. Through all those long years of net surfing this is the most awesome site I ever came across. And I'm not letting go of it! Unbelievable. Such detailed expert explanations and advice. I'm happy. Thank you.

-- Anon

All I wanna say is, thank you for this Website man. It has already brought me a lot of luck just reading the pages and understanding the different aspects of changing minds. Keep it up My friend!

-- R. G. D.

Dear Mr. Straker,

This is just a short message to say to you a big thank you for your wonderful Book "Changing Minds in details".
I am reading it very in details in order to grasp everything from it, and I have to say this is by far the best book I have read up to now. Very precise, concise but with really mind-changing information. I would recommend it to anyone (but I still believe that to recommend a book this person should have the desire to read by herself first, otherwise recommending is just useless, they will never read it).

I just thought you may like to hear that this book generated a real change for me and my coworkers (because I am manager of a team of people), so again, Thank you !

-- Cyprien R., Korea

Thanks!

Thanks so much for this website. It has helped me understand myself on a much deeper level than I'd ever done before. 

--Anon, Bangalore, India

Thank you!

I just want to say thanks for creating the most comprehensive guide to persuasion I have ever found on the internet. I spent such a long time looking for a website looking for anything else, that I was blown away when I finally found your website.

Thanks for keeping changingminds.org updated!

-- Anon

I found your site whilst exploring on how to write an essay (college). I have been out of school for over 18 yrs now. I need help in creating a 'great' essay without taking from others. I very much like what you have done with this site, as it saves me looking for inspiration and understanding a word. It gets me thinking outside the box. Thank you for all you have achieved here and continue to do so. Keep up the HARD work. God Bless.

-- Anon

I'd just like to thank you for the hard work  I've purchased your changing minds book 3 times and also small words big change I have the highest respect for u and appreciate you diving into these topics it's so hard to find one place with all these principles so organized I just like to say thank you and you're very inspiring.

-- Daniel

I have no idea how to express my appreciation.

Thank you for this site.

You have helped me through not only the most traumatic experience of my life (as if that weren't enough!!), but you've also helped me understand how the world and how people and how society works, and in my career you helped me pinpoint the significance of 'groupthink' and put it into perspective... well, you've helped me in a lot of ways.

Like the subject line above, I'm really not sure how to let you know how much impact you've had on my life, but I realized recently that I needed to say something.

so....

In the truest form of the word 'sincerely', Thank you.

-- Maggie C.

Hey David,

My name is Ian, I am a 17 year old student from Australia, and just wanted to thank you for the excellent source of information this site provides.

I came across your site while searching for articles on body language and dominance, and Changing Minds has helped me to not only understand dominant behavior, but also to subvert it.

The more articles I read, the more links I keep clicking on and get distracted by - there's just such a wealth of great information available.

- Thank you for putting such effort into this site, Ian.

-- Ian F

Work that deserves praise!

Informative. Helping. Great.

Thank you!

-- A, Moldova

! I found you after reading the book by Scott Adams, “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life”. He references the theories you discuss and how important it is to have an understanding of the biases that people have. Thank you for providing such a great resource on your website, ChangingMinds.org, and through your book to help me better understand these concepts.

-- Raquel B, USA

Wow, I came across this site and I must say, I'm impressed with how well detailed the information is and how well is laid out for reading ease.

I came across your webpage the second time recently via Stumbleupon and thought once again you are doing probably something extraordinary. I especially like the practicality of your approach, and the way things are categorized into tiny, separate bits. The coverage seems also impressive.

-- Valtteri, Finland

This is just a letter to thank you for your comprehensive web site full of information about body language. I have not even started to look at the rest, but I am very interested. I am busy writing my memoire and already have the skeleton of 65 000 words. Now I am searching the internet so find some indications of body language to give my story flesh, and wow! Yours is the best, I do not have to go further.

Thank you

Hi. I'm from the Philippines and I just have to tell you, your work at ChangingMinds.org has saved me hours of writing and presentations. I get to communicate effectively and therefore get my bosses or clients right where I want them to be and believe what I want them to believe. You've made my life easier.

 -- Karlo G., Philippines

I just want to say thank you for so many helpful resources in one place.  I found out about your site through my professor.  I love all the lists!  It makes everything so easy to find, and the material is easy to read and understand.

I had to actually make myself leave the site, because I just reading and reading, but I had assignments to do!  I have your site on my favorites list now and plan to refer to it often.  Thanks again.

 -- Sherry E.

It was great to find this site and see how it has been put together just for me. how may I ever re-pay your labor, foresight vision and creativity. 'yah is good people'  I also like the fact that you might make some money. Your funny and I'm excited for you and your family. As you have learned when we decide to pursue our heart and do what right rather than do what may pay. Although, don't get me wrong keeping things on rent, light, cable email coffee and a late night supper and play is also living in balance. I've digressed please allow me to say again thank you! For your vision and foresight for struggling human consultants and educators.

Dear David,

I'm a mature student of an undergraduate program of Social Studies (Honors-Level 8) with Applied Social Care. And your site has been a great tool, to support my understanding of conformity & compliance on the influence of groups.

I would like to say first of all, a big thank you for providing free access to such a great material that you have on your site. Second, you're an inspirational person, thank you so much as you have taught me more than I wished for, but not less than I need!

-- Cida Silva Limerick - Ireland

This site is serious, professional, educating, and wonderful. I want to thank all of you who develop it.

-- Ali M. - Art Professor

Such a wonderful, interesting website. I'm fascinated with persuasion. So this website is right up my alley.

I stumbled across it when I searched for Socratic questions on Google (you have a great webpage on that). As I started to browse, I found so much I wanted to read, understand and apply right away. Really exciting for me.

I know it was a lot of work putting a site like this together. And I know I'm not the first and I won't be the last but I'm expressing my deep appreciation for you and your teams hard work.

Time for me to do my part and start learning.

Best wishes,

 -- Jason

Stumbled on your great website trying to understand Myers Briggs types. Read your blog and coincidentally saw something today that really was profound in a comical way. A bumper sticker on an old car in front of me that said "DON'T PANIC. There is always Welfare." THere is so much unease in the world, and I think that bumper sticker said - what is the worse that can happen - you lose everything? That's not so bad, even then, there is help even then. Just seemed kinda of brilliant to me. have a good Friday.
