Publisher's summary

Have you often realized that your choices, especially the bad ones, were dictated by the strength of your emotions over your logic and reason?

Have you ever had the feeling that you were being deceived or used by someone you trusted completely?

Have you ever felt "guilty" and thus "forced" to accept certain requests?

The answer is almost always, "Yes."

So, sorry to have to tell you this, but you have been skillfully manipulated.

It’s time to stand up for yourself!

Learn to understand and interpret the true intentions of other people. Discover the secrets to manipulation, how to recognize it and counteract in advance.

Perfect!

I truly delighted in this book and thought that it was instructive. I would have given it five stars on the grounds that the data was right on target, yet I didn't care for how the author sounded one-sided about god and religion, it nearly appeared as though he was intimating all adherents are frustrated and I figure journalists should remain clear from individual inclinations with realities. A decent book worth the purchase

Most Useful

It was written in terms that are very easy to understand and is straight to the point.This is one awesome book. It really was a good introduction to those who want to learn about the darker aspects of psychology.Too many people live their life on instinct alone, repeating simple routine and compensating for the lack. It helped me understand my life.
