Publisher's summary

Are you currently looking for a satisfying relationship but often feel empty and used, rather than happy and free? Would you like a guide designed specifically to help you make better choices in relationships, outlining how to spot tactics that are used to take advantage and exploit you? If so, Giving up the Game is the perfect audiobook for you!

Authored by Eric Durham, a reformed former "gamer", Giving up the Game outlines the strategies many use to manipulate, exploit, and use others. This amazing book will help guide the listener to healthier, safer, and more satisfying relationships.

Too many relationships are complicated by the use of covert persuasion tactics that are used by high-powered salesmen; techniques including social proof, reciprocity, and scarcity are all designed to convince someone to act against their will. Eric Durham explains how these techniques are used to manipulate and take advantage of others for their own gain, leaving the other party feeling broken, empty, and exploited. You'll learn:

  • How to spot covert "gaming" tactics in any relationship in your life, be it romantic, at work, or friendships
  • How to identify a player before they have the chance to manipulate you
  • How to avoid emotional tricks and traps, and never again say "yes" when you mean "no"
  • Eric's journey from a player to a happily married man with a family
  • How to make healthier decisions for more fulfilling relationships.

Armed with the information in Giving up the Game, you can now have confidence and enjoy relationships to the fullest. You no longer have to be fearful in romantic relationships, business, or social settings. Eric explains how to clearly recognize game and teaches you how to enjoy your relationships to the fullest!
