A charismatic person is typically defined as someone who possesses a compelling attractiveness or endearing charm which inspires and captivates those around them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s considered to be an essential characteristic when it comes to effective leadership<\/a>, meaningful relationships or navigating social relationships in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question which inevitably arises is whether charisma can be attained or if it is innate, and the long-standing belief has traditionally been that the former is true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are those, however, who have challenged this assumption. They assert that being charismatic is not a matter of nature as much as it is of nurture. That is, anyone can be charismatic as long as they purposefully acquire a set of particular cognitions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following books not only support this theory, but they provide practical guidance and actionable advice on how to attain charisma and forge meaningful connections with anyone you interact with.<\/p>\n\n\n

What distinguishes this book is its practicality. Instead of being a lengthy and contemplative essay on abstract concepts and subjective insights, the author has provided guidance which is supported by extensive empirical evidence. The core premise of this book is that we can only become charismatic when we have achieved an internal state which is balanced and assured, without any conflicts or uncertainties.<\/p>\n\n\n

The author states that the way we perceive ourselves will be reflected in the way in which we are perceived by others, and by regulating how we think about ourselves we can essentially influence how others think about us as well. She then goes on to describe the importance of body language in conveying charisma, because it is a universal form of communication which transcends traditional boundaries such as verbal language, background and personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most interesting assertion is that charisma is not an elusive gift which is possessed by a few, but a set of acquired cognitions and behaviours which can be learned and implemented. One critique of this book could be that it \u2018instructs\u2019 people on how to \u2018appear\u2019 charismatic to other people, rather than actually \u2018becoming\u2019 charismatic from within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
