As part of human psychology, everyone manipulates a little bit. But some do it on purpose, and some do it a lot. And the way we do it, and the reasons we do it for, matter. Did you know most people lie every day? Did you know that some people have become masters and making other people do what they want them to do? If you want to see through all that, take off your pink glasses and step into the world of dark psychology.

Humans are adaptive to situations that encourage them to behave and act in specific ways. These behaviors are categorized into different terms further covered in the broader concept of dark psychology. Manipulation, cohesion, gaslighting, and similar word expressions are commonly used as tools for psychological and emotional abuse.

Within every community, toxic people can be found hiding in families, couples, companies, and places of worship. The cryptic nature of psychological abuse involves repetitious mind games played by one individual or a group of people. Psychological abuse leaves no bruises. There are no broken bones. There are no holes in the walls. The bruises, brokenness, and holes are held tightly within the target of the abuse.

We humans tend to get in our own way time and time again - whether it comes to not speaking up for ourselves, going back to bad romantic partners, our umpteenth diet, or engaging in any of a range of bad habits we just can’t seem to shake. In Rewire, renowned psychotherapist Richard O’Connor, PhD, reveals why our bad habits die so hard. We have two brains - one a thoughtful, conscious, deliberative self, and the other an automatic self that does most of the work without our attention.

In Rewire, renowned psychotherapist Richard O’Connor, PhD, reveals why our bad habits die so hard. We have two brains - one a thoughtful, conscious, deliberative self, and the other an automatic self that does most of the work without our attention.

Success in work, love, and life depends on developing habits that activate the powerful prefrontal cortex when we need it most. Unfortunately, under stress, the human brain tends to revert to emotional habits we forged in toddlerhood: blame, denial, avoidance, reacting to a jerk like a jerk, and turning our connections into cold shoulders - or worse. In Soar Above, renowned relationship expert Dr. Steven Stosny offers a groundbreaking formula for building new, pressure-resistant habits.

To grow in recovery, we must grow up emotionally. This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk. Although there are as many ways to mess up recovery as there are alcoholics and addicts, some general themes exist, which include: confusing self-concern with selfishness; not making amends; using the program to try to become perfect; not getting help for relationship troubles; and believing that life should be easy. Allen Berger explores the 12 most commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery.

Great concept and insights but a little shaky on the follow through
This book combines two of my passions (superheroes and counseling). The author did a fantastic job of humanizing these fictional characters and making them not only relatable but also reflective of my own life. I didn’t expect that.
There are some strange issues with the narration. There are several occasions where the narrator stumbles over a word and says “grrrrr” before continuing on. I was honestly really confused until I realized that someone just forgot to do a final edit.

Very interesting!
I really enjoyed this book! Giving superheroes psychological analysis was really fun & interesting. My only criticism is that it seems that no one edited the performance. Many times throughout the book, the reader repeated himself when he'd made a mistake & it wasn't edited out.

Mental Health and Comic book heroes
Bates wrote a wonderful primer on mental health using Marvel and DC characters. The narrator was good for the most part. An audio editor to cut out mistakes would have improved the narration. Also, some direction on pronunciation would have made Mutt Rogers’ narration 5 stars.
