And that's the principle of unity gets us even closer to love.

Another interesting thing about unity is we don't always even have to like the person.

But if we feel that deep sense of shared identity or bond,

we are much

more likely to do something to try to help that individual. In large part, our success and happiness

rests on getting people to say yes to us. But I hope people will see that we can go to a deeper

level, a level that does right by people, and allows us to feel really good about ourselves

in the midst of that as well.

That's Brian Ahern. He is the chief influence officer at influenced people. An international trainer and consultant, Brian specializes in applying the science of influence in everyday situations. His new book, Influenced from Above, where faith and influence meet, shares how faith and psychology come together to transform your leadership. So you'll learn, one, how modern psychology and the Bible support each other, two, how to build

instant rapport with anyone, and three, the master key to cementing your authority.

And if you want a quick summary write-up of these actual takeaways, I recommend you to sign up

Yes, it's so much better than people tell you. They tell you all these great things. The way I would

equate it is people can tell you about falling in love, but once you fall in love, it's so much

better than anybody can describe. And grand parenting is the same way. Awesome. Well, I've

decided to chat about your latest book, Influenced from Above, where faith and influence meet.

Tell us, what's the story here?

Well, the story is a continuation of the book I wrote called The Influencer, Secrets to Success and Happiness.
