Fascinating

For anyone interested in a practical book about charisma and how to learn/develop it, I highly recommend this book that completely changed my life: The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane

I read that book as well when I was 20, and while it was helpful I was also surprised watching a YouTube talk by her many years later, and not finding her particularly charismatic!

I believe she is autistic (she has said it herself), and she studied charisma to learn about it

Regardless of her own charismatic abilities, the stuff in the book is amazing and incredibly helpful
