Manipulations: how to identify and neutralize them. A secret weapon in personal and business communication

How does manipulation work? What kinds are there? Why do we manipulate? And how can we turn the unconscious mechanism of our psyche into a powerful tool for achieving any goals? This book examines manipulation as a social construct and demonstrates through simple examples how to recognize it in everyday life – how to step out of the victim mindset, increase self-awareness, and use knowledge about manipulations for growth in professional and personal spheres. Manipulation is, first and foremost, wisdom! You will not only be able to resist negative influences from those around you and 'read' their hidden motives, but you will also learn to skillfully build any communication, maintaining balance even in the most contradictory communication situations.
