Publisher's summary

(Free eBook version of this book is included with this purchase. Look for the attachment in your library.) 

How to master the art of manipulation to improve your career and work life and have more successful personal relationships. 

The word manipulation gets a bad rap, but what it’s really about is understanding human thought patterns and behaviors. 

Maybe you’re a manager having a hard time getting your team members to listen to you. 

Maybe you have a manipulator in your life and you want to learn new ways to deal with them or combat their manipulations. 

Perhaps you’re just curious about the concept and want to understand how humans can be manipulated. 

Whatever your purpose or need, the art of manipulation can open your eyes to the world of dark psychology. 

The human brain is a fascinating place, and this book will give you a unique view of what goes on inside it.

By examining the concepts that make up dark psychology, you’ll begin to understand things like mind control, neuro-linguistic programming, body language, and more. 

If you’re concerned about the ethical implications of dark psychology, there’s even a section on how to use the techniques discussed responsibly. 

In addition, you’ll discover: 

  • How manipulation differs from persuasion and why that matters
  • The basics of dark psychology
  • These real-world applications of neuro-linguistic programming
  • How to read body language
  • Techniques to help you defend yourself from manipulative people

Manipulation is part of human existence. It has always been around, and it always will be. 

What you can do is learn the techniques and tricks, so that you can either use them effectively or protect yourself from others who would use them against you. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good, Easy, Straight Forward Read

The book was quite simple and straight to the point. Gave insight on what it is to be persuasive vs manipulative. it was such a pleasant read. No outrageous stories, exaggerated metaphor, just straight to the point. Just really short. shorter than what I expected.

Informative, motivational and easy to digest

I found Beyond Persuasion to be extremely interesting and it captured the extent of manipulation very well. There were plenty of strategies and tips that I will definitely be putting into action. I loved having it on my phone so I could go back and review different sections when I needed them again. Really nice narration too.

Insightful

I recommend for anyone seeking personal and professional development. Having read all the usual suspects in this field of learning it gives a thoughtful overview for people new to the subject in a manner that leads to easy absorption.

Behind the curtain look at the human mind

Manipulation is everywhere. In business. In relationships. In the media. We can't avoid it.

But by understanding what is going on in the world around us, we can at least be aware of what's going on. This book is a seminal work, equivalent the Cialdini's influence, except more focused on the individual rather than corporations. Covering the darker side of psychology, it gives a look at what it takes to make it in today's world. There were parts that brought me back to the first time I read The 48 Laws of Power - and how eye opening that book was.

10/10 listen.
