Combat NLP 2.0. How You Are Made Convenient and How to Stop It

This book — a practical guide to detecting and neutralizing hidden linguistic influences that are used against you daily in your family, at work, in relationships, and through television screens. The author reveals the systematic structure of everyday manipulations — from direct suggestions in childhood ("eat, I know better") to mass double messages in the news ("the situation is complicated, but the leadership is in control"). The book does not teach manipulation but shows how the mechanisms that turn people into "convenient" and passive observers of their own lives are arranged.

The reader will learn to recognize language tricks, criterion substitutions, anchors, thought viruses, and schizophrenogenic patterns — the very constructs that subtly disable will, trigger anxiety, and make one doubt oneself. You will understand how learned helplessness and double messaging are structured — the two pillars on which most destructive communications rest. The main benefit is that invisible influence, once made visible, loses its power: you will be able to resist others' scripts and reclaim your right to choose.

The book will be useful for anyone who feels that their opinion is disregarded and decisions are imposed; for leaders and employees who want to see hidden manipulations in negotiations; for psychologists and coaches to understand the root of client problems; for parents who do not want to transmit traumatic patterns to their children; and for anyone who is tired of being "good" and "convenient" and finally wants to live their own life.
