Young and Profiting with Hala Taha
Business:Entrepreneurship
At around one year old, Jonah Berger’s son started saying the word “peas.” What he really meant to say was “please,” but that didn’t matter. It was the first time his son realized that words can have magical effects. Magic words are all around us, whether we are trying to persuade a client, motivate a team, or even just talk to our peers. In this episode, Jonah is back on YAP to talk about his newest book, Magic Words. He will take a deep dive into how to persuade, communicate, and connect. He will cover the different types of words that can increase our impact in every area of our lives!
Jonah Berger is a world-renowned expert on natural language processing, change, word of mouth, influence, consumer behavior, and why things catch on. Dr. Berger is a Wharton School professor and internationally bestselling author of Magic Words, Contagious, Invisible Influence, and The Catalyst. He has published over 80 articles in top‐tier academic journals, teaches one of the world’s most popular online courses, and popular outlets like The New York Times and Harvard Business Review often cover his work.
