The Small Big: Small Changes That Spark Big Influence
The Small Big reveals a quiet truth with seismic implications: the most powerful changes often come from the subtlest shifts. In a world obsessed with grand gestures and sweeping overhauls, this book uncovers the hidden science behind small tweaks that lead to massive influence—how a single word, a tiny cue, or a modest gesture can tilt decisions, shape behavior, and move hearts. With clarity and curiosity, it explores the paradox of persuasion: that less can truly be more. Can the key to transforming the world lie not in revolution, but in the smallest pivot of perception? This is a playbook for those who understand that the finest levers move the heaviest loads.
