In Sheep's Clothing

Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People

De: George K. Simon Jr. Ph.D.

Narrado por: Kevin Foley

Dr. George K. Simon knows how people push your buttons: your children---especially teens---are experts at it, as is your mate. A coworker may quietly undermine your efforts while professing to be helpful, or your boss may prey on your weaknesses. Manipulative people have two goals: to win and to look good doing it. Too often, those they abuse are only vaguely aware of what is happening to them. In this eye-opening book, you'll discover:

• four reasons why victims have a hard time leaving abusive relationships
• power tactics manipulative people use to push their own agendas and justify their behavior
• ways to redefine the rules of engagement between you and the abuser
• how to spot potential weaknesses in your character that can set you up for manipulation
• two tools for personal empowerment to help you maintain greater strength in all relationships

Loved it

I loved this book. The most direct and to the point information on covert aggressive personalities than I have been able to find anywhere else.

I liked it. Concise and structured.

Basic in terms of insights but gives a great overview in my opinion. Unless you have read other books on the topic that provide the same info, it is worth reading.

Great audio book

If you're already on the path to understanding human behavior, this gives you a good understanding of not only others, but yourself.

Narrator’s voices were condescending

Overall, the content of this book was pretty good. I was a bit disappointed that it assumed an individual would want to reconcile with the aggressive party and didn’t provide any guidance for walking away.

And the narrator was almost unbearable, especially his use of female voices for the case studies. They came off as quite condescending and I wish he hadn’t used voices at all or made them much subtler.

hate the voices he does

The information is good but WHY does the author do those ridiculous mimicking condescending voices??? The ones for women are the worst and totally insulting. I'm a professional and a direct straightforward reading would be appreciated. I dont do those when I read and do not like them at all. Totally ruined the book.
