Publisher's summary

Learn the manipulator's game, so they can't play it with you.

Identifying covert emotional manipulation is tricky. You sense something is wrong, but you can't quite put your finger on the problem. This powerful book will reveal to you if manipulation is at play in your relationships. It will open your eyes.

You will learn 30 tactics manipulators use to get what they want. You will also learn to spot the warning signs within yourself that expose covert manipulation is taking place, even if you can't identify the specific tactics being used.

This book is geared toward romantic relationships, including those involving a pathological partner. Even so, many of the manipulation tactics are the same as those used by family members, coworkers, friends and others.

Covert emotional manipulation tactics are underhanded methods of control. Emotional manipulation methodically wears down your self-worth and damages your trust in your own perceptions. It can make you unwittingly compromise your personal boundaries and lose your self-respect and even lead to a warped concept of yourself and of reality. With your defenses weakened or completely disarmed in this manner, you are left even more vulnerable to further manipulation and psychological harm.

Empower yourself and get your life back!

So engaging...

An excellent source of information for self empowerment! Couples should even hear this together as I believe it will change behaviors and strengthen relationships.

Very Informative

This was a very Informative and for me personally eye opening. My Dad has several of these traits as does my girlfriend.

Great book. Must Read

Great book. Must Read. I learned so much about all that I had been going through in my relationship.

The legitimacy of the actions that I personally experience with my soon to be ex-husband it was very helpful

Too short for I credit barely got my attention, and then ended. Would definitely purchase another volume if there was more content.

interesting

very interesting, gives a short but very informative cue on manipulation, and ways to relate to that behavior...

Insightful & Powerful

I’m pleased with the authors approach to keeping this book short & sweet. Thanks for the insight. Great book!

Before I couldn't put my finger on it; now I know

This is by far the most enlightening book of the most valuable knowledge I have ever read.

Short, sweet & all I needed to know

This was pretty good. I’ve been working on myself for over a year now, so I was familiar with a lot of it. It was still nice to have everything validated though. Hearing it said to me again put me back on track since my narcissist is trying to bring back that trauma bond (while he’s also love bombing his new supply). If you’re in the beginnings of the emotions of leaving or you just left, this will get you started in the right direction. The book also gives additional resources to help you. It also gives those that are considering getting serious someone the red flags to look for. I liked the fact that it was short and sweet - and direct to the point without all of the fluff. I didn’t pay much attention to the reader herself, but merely focused on what she was reading/saying.

very helpful

I got alot of useful information. loved it. I like the way it breaks it down so its easy to reflect and see things in ur relationship.

Helps One Understand

And realize that you’re not the only one..or crazy. Emotional manipulation is a form of abuse, it says. True.
