The book starts off with how you can influence people's behavior my making it something personal that they care about i.e their opinion. Trewin Restorick making everyone an environmentalist by understanding human nature and bending the circumstances for good. There are many examples of how entrepreneurs have gone beyond their industry expectations when it comes to channel pivots. Lots of changes can be made to have a greater influence.
