Format:Paperback
Aristotle and Shakespeare had a name for it - they called rhetoric the art of persuasion, and like Bayley and Mavity, knew that to persuade involved passion, emotion and getting your audience's imagination fired up.'Life's a Pitch' is different from all those boring business How-To-Succeed books because it shows how every transaction in life involves the emotions, whether you're pitching for a new client, asking for a mortgage, or negotiating a tricky sex life. The book's design is a joy to behold, and the style sparkles with wit and passion, seducing the reader -perfect examples of the book's subject - the power of persuasion.

this book is something quite different - if you're nervous about pitching (yes, I am, how about you?) it tells you how, it gives you the info and the confidence. But it's also very funny, witty and beautiful to look at. I loved it.

This is a brilliant book. It's so wittily instructive whether you're in business or not. Beautifully designed too. I would recommend the book to all young people starting out after university or college as well as anyone selling anything to anyone.
