Discover the secrets skills of persuasion taught to intelligence officers and learn how to apply them yourself.
Every day, intelligence officers achieve the unimaginable. So, what does a spy do She travels to far-flung, unfamiliar places, under a variety of covers. There, she identifies powerful and influential figures in politics, high-commerce and the military. Or active members of criminal or terrorist gangs. She befriends them and, over time, persuades them to support her country's national interest by sharing secrets about their countries and causes. To become traitors, in fact. And they do it for her willingly, despite facing the threats of public humiliation, imprisonment and, in some cases, torture. Even execution.It seems like an unimaginable task to persuade someone to commit such betrayals. But, every day, ordinary people from all over the world work towards and achieve such triumphs. They can do this thanks to their command of the nine secret skills of espionage. In Think Like a Spy, you'll learn these secrets and how to apply them in your own life.Jules Fisher was born in what was then the poorest postcode in Britain: B16 in inner-city Birmingham.

He subsequently embarked on a varied career, working as an MI6 intelligence officer, in government service overseas, within a global Private Military Company and founding his own private intelligence boutique.
