Hi Jeff,
I second your recommendation to read and reread Robert Cialdini’s book. I once wrote a post about his account of how to get people to help you if there’s an accident and people aren’t helping because they don’t see other people helping.
Amazingly enough a reader had recently read that post and came upon an accident when he was out walking. Noone was helping because noone elser was helping. The reader immediately told people what to do–get an ambulance and so on–and they did as he bid.
It’s a fascinating book and could possibly even save your life.
