Some people's moral compass is broken, and they use subtle psychological tricks to exploit others for their own purposes or to harm them. Such dangerous games can be played by anyone with you – a boss, colleague, friend, romantic partner, or relative. However, dark psychology can be resisted.
Former U.S. Navy intelligence officer and military investigator Lena Sisco, who has studied human behavior for over 20 years, teaches in her book how to recognize manipulation and successfully counter it. Through examples of notorious crimes, interrogations of criminals, and other stories of real people, you will see how abusers and liars operate, using a wide arsenal of tricks – from playing the victim and gaslighting to social engineering and the most sophisticated lies. Now you will be able to resist all of this.
The book provides clear techniques for each specific case, teaches tactics of persuasion and suggestion, methods for identifying necessary information, NLP techniques, and other proven and effective self-defense methods.
