Praise for The Secret Language of Business

"Hogan's book contains the secret every business leader needs to know. Great leaders don't just talk; they communicate. Through words, body language, and energy. I consider The Secret Language of Business a must-read for anyone looking to enhance their leadership and communication skills."
--Jon Gordon, international bestselling author of The Energy Bus

"We all sense that there is some extra-verbal communication going on under our noses, but also sense that we haven't quite cracked the code. This book does. If you want to understand the real communication of business (the one that's going on under the saccharine glaze of chit-chat) and then exploit it for your advantage, study this book from cover to cover."
--Mark Joyner, bestselling author of Simpleology

"Hogan has done it again. His earlier work, The Psychology of Persuasion, was so well researched with clarity and specific examples, I used it as a training manual for our sales and customer service staff. The information immediately improved in-house morale and company success. Now Hogan has tackled the world of body language and nonverbal communication, yours and that of every person you meet anywhere in the world. The usual enigma disappears and bonding grows as a direct result of the strategies taught in The Secret Language of Business. There's an 'a-ha!' moment in every chapter. And the author helps the reader learn and apply each strategy with worksheets throughout. Simply terrific!"
--Elsom Eldridge Jr., author of How to Position Yourself As the Obvious Expert

"The Secret Language of Business will not remain a secret for long! It is destined to become aclassic for business readers and beyond. This comprehensive book flows with timely, accurate, and practical information. In Hogan style, it also entertains as it educates, making it a joy to read, whether you are seeking a solid introduction to nonverbal behavior or are an expert in the field."

--Mollie Marti, PhD, President of Performance Sciences, Inc.

I've always found it interesting that someone had to throw Jackie Robinson the ball for there to be a Jackie Robinson. Give talent and passion the right team to play on, and, as they say, the rest is history. In no less a historical spotlight, I am proud to present you with I Rise - The Transformation of Toni Newman, the first memoir written in America by a member of the African American transgender community. It is gut-wrenchingly honest, factually supported, and well written. Dr. Marc Weiss Ph.D., Former Associate Professor of Urban Development, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University wrote the foreword to this memoir, is a best-selling author, and a former member of the Clinton administration. I Rise is the true story of Toni Newman's transformation from an internally conflicted male to a proud, pre-operative transsexual. Born the eldest son into a strict Christian family, Toni admits knowing from her earliest days that she "was a different bird born in the wrong body." With laser-guided sincerity, curiosity, and above all, humor and compassion, Toni tells her story of being a "sissy boy," a scholarship student, a business professional, an escort, a drag queen, a NYC prostitute, an LA dominatrix, and finally, a transsexual attending law school in order to help her transsexual sisters in need. From cross-dressing and Bible Study classes in Jacksonville, North Carolina, to writing and studying while tending to the fetish fantasies of Hollywood's A-list, I Rise is far from a tale of fitting in. It is instead a unique and mesmerizing study of finding oneself in a world where gender and beauty can be hard fought for and earned. And Toni Newman, more than anyone else I know, deserves to be proud of her identity. Through the complete loss of friends, family support, employment and shelter, Toni was never deterred from seeking the path that was right for her. When a minority community so stricken by drug abuse, sexual exploitation, explosive suicide rates, and lack of education, has a voice rise out of it as courageous and profound as Toni Newman's, you do everything you can to make sure it's a home run heard the world over.

WARNING: To Open This Book Is To Expose The Secret For What It Is "You get more of what you think about." On the surface the idea sounds true and has real sex appeal. It's easy to "think" and if that's all it takes to get a new car, we're in! The movie The Secret has spread the Law of Attraction to the masses in a way no "New Age" idea has ever been spread before. Purported to be a physical law "like gravity," the Law of Attraction purveyors say that your thoughts cause "vibrations" that entrain with "like things," in the universe and bring them to you and it works every time. Two of the world's most recognizable experts on persuasion, influence and cults, Dr. Kevin Hogan and Dave Lakhani combine forces with television producer Blair Warren and Minister and Psychotherapist, Bob Beverly to expose what may be the biggest mass manipulation of the public in recent history. Based on pseudo-science and hype, the Law of Attraction says that you are responsible for everything in your life. If you have cancer, you attracted it and if you change your thoughts, it can go away. The genocide in Rwanda - They attracted that too. The rape and murder of young children across the United States ...it's their fault, they attracted it, subconsciously.Sound insane? Those statements were all made by the producers and teachers of "The Law of Attraction" "The Law" also says that wealth, homes, jewelry and the perfect relationship are right around the corner if you just "Ask, Believe, Receive." And their source of the truth? A 100 year old book written by a kind but broke man who died an early death and a psychic who channels a spirit being(s) "Abraham." No one would believe it if it were fiction. Even Harry Potter has limitations. But those who use The Law have learned The Secret. And because of this, children will not get medical help, relationships will be destroyed, jobs will be left and masses of people will go bankrupt. Around the world people are spending millions to hear the message to learn to save themselves from their thoughts. The Secret Behind The Secret Law of Attraction explains how and why people worldwide are sucked in by this seemingly benign message of quick money and easy fixes and how to avoid being a victim yourself.

Over 50 million Americans experience some form of tinnitus and there are those who don't realize that the ringing in their ears has a name. Of those 50 million, 12 million are estimated to have severe tinnitus where they seek medical treatment. Approximately two million people are suffering so severely that they cannot make it through their daily activities. Kevin Hogan has a positive approach to health as a definite goal worthy of determination. Kevin experienced tinnitus, and partly because of this, he treats those who suffer from it with respect! He heard the usual, "You have to live with it", and he does NOT live with it. In addition he has remolded his profession to help those with tinnitus. This book is a positive example, a helping hand, a light in the darkness. Kevin once wrote a book called The Gift: A Discovery of Love, Happiness and Fulfillment, describing a quest for happiness. Readers discover on their quest that only by giving it (The Gift) away to everyone they meet can life be complete and whole. This book is Kevin's gift to us. About the Author Kevin Hogan holds a doctorate in psychology. He suffered from debilitating tinnitus before discovering a multi-modal approach to turning the volume down. In addition to his work in the tinnitus field, Dr. Hogan is also an internationally known speaker and communicator in the field of influence.

Anyone whose daily life depends on influencing people in other words, everyone should read this book. Buy copies for your friends and hide it from your enemies." Richard Brodie, author of Virus of the Mind: The New Science of the Meme "Master persuaders know that it's not really about the words you use or the moves you make other people get persuaded because of what you think and how you feel. Kevin Hogan explains in delightfully clear detail how to make these master-persuader secrets work for you. Not only that, he also explains why all of this works, and he shows you the exact scientific research that proves it!"

Crano, author of The Rules of Influence: Winning When You're in the Minority "Many write on the topic of persuasion. Precious few genuinely understand it. Kevin is one of those precious few. Read everything you can by him." Mark Joyner, founder and CEO of Simpleology, www.simpleology.com
