Description



Book Synopsis



Have you ever been in a situation where...

  • You were persuaded into doing something you didn't want to do, and it backfired on you?
  • Someone obtained your trust by lying to you, and then used it against you for their gain?
  • You felt invisible at work or social gathering, and couldn't make your voice heard or people notice you?

Psychological manipulation is a form of social influence that seeks to change the behaviour or perception of others through deceptive, exploitative, devious, and abusive tactics and strategies. This type of manipulation can be employed both negatively, for example in order to advance the interests of the manipulator, or positively, for example in order to change a person's bad habits or behaviour. In practice, social persuasion forms part of our everyday lives, for instance many people have advanced someone's goals in order to get them to do them a favour in return.

Influencing others is often how we obtain jobs and promotions, we sell products and services, and we may gain fame and notoriety. However, psychological manipulation takes persuasion to a whole new level with manipulators using a vast array of tactics, behaviours and strategies to ruthlessly leverage peoples' vulnerabilities. Some people may only rarely manipulate others, whilst other people may manipulate others every day. What is more, people may be manipulated within their own family network and also regularly within personal relationships.

Here's what you'll be able to do:

  • Instantly recognize signs of manipulation and mind control
  • Discover whether and why you are more vulnerable to dark psychology
  • Get to know manipulating techniques, so you'll never fall victim to it again
  • Use defensive tactics to beat manipulators at their own game
  • Successfully read body language and develop alertness to even the most subtle persuasion attempts
  • Change your perception of yourself by using Neuro-linguistic programming techniques
  • And much more!
