Well I don't think principle 3 is a manipulation, I think it depends on our motive and mutual benefit

I didn't read principle 4 yet so I'll keep this in mind.

Thanks for your views though

Now that you've mentioned it. It really does sound better. Just swapping one word changes the impact of it onto the other person.

Btw for the third principle, I got a way to apply those techniques. Think of a friend or family member from whom you wanted something but couldn't get just because it was all "I want" and now think how could you have done it differently knowing the third principle.

And the next time you want something from your friends, just think how can I do this differently from "I want".

Thanks for your tip

Hahaha nice try though, right? But I didn't do it for upvotes, I tried to like make Redditors comment on this post for upvotes. Yeah I agree, you can easily look greedy if you persuade people for too long. I guess you should try to genuinely help others and align your need with their needs. Mutual benefit I guess.

Thanks for your tips I'll try these tips on people close to me first.

Yeah, like talking in terms of their need not in terms of our need. I was thinking of trying this principles with my friends. Practice on them . Btw how do you arouse an eager want in your clients?
