Book Description
Over the years, we have come to the conclusion that persuasion is positive while manipulation is the exact opposite. That is not entirely true. Whether you are persuading or manipulating a person, the real difference is your intention. According to some of the scholars studying the difference between manipulation and persuasion, there are three components determining what a person is doing. What intent lies behind your desire to persuade another person? How truthful and transparent is the process you are using? What is the net impact or benefit of your action to the other person? There is manipulative persuasion and dark manipulative persuasion. The first type, manipulative persuasion normally involves attempts to convince another person to do something without necessarily thinking about tactics or specific motivations. Anyone can easily use manipulative persuasion because it is not entirely necessary for the manipulator to understand his/her victim. A persuader will mostly look for ways to make the best out of the people he/she is manipulating. For instance, a politician can try to prevent war by creating peace ties where there were none. He/she might not fully understand the results of the ties, but will try anyway. In fact, a manipulative persuader can try to grasp at straws wildly hoping to get something. On the other hand, dark manipulative persuasion involves understanding the bigger picture and strategizing. The dark persuader understands the person he/she is trying to persuade, knows the exact buttons to push and just how far he will go before getting results. In most cases, manipulators who use dark manipulation techniques are unconcerned with the morality of their actions. All he/she wants is to fulfill his/her desires regardless of the situation. The bright side of dark manipulation is that the manipulator is in most cases aware of what he/she is doing. All of us have manipulated others, knowingly or unknowingly. There are many things we do to get what we want and, in most cases, they are harmless. This book will tell you more about manipulationand Body languages. This book covers What is manipulation Methods of manipulation Developing stages of manipulation Art of persuasion Dark psychology Body language And Much More! It is said that we as human beings have learned how to manipulate each other selfishly. Sometimes it is necessary but in most cases, you will realize it is unnecessary. Dark manipulative persuasion often harms. Perhaps the most unfortunate thing is how the manipulators using dark techniques ignore the damage of their actions. For instance, many researchers conducted across the world over the years have revealed the harmful effects of smoking cigarettes. However, the manufacturing companies still make some successful manipulative advertisements leading people to think that this drug is 'cool'. Consequently, the number of diseases and deaths resulting from this manipulation increase. Those politicians using dark manipulative persuasion techniques to raise into position can facilitate weakened democracy and even foment division.

Body Language In 40 Days

Pages : 220
Book Description
Imagine being able to SEE the emotions, intentions and thoughts of everyone... like words on a screen. Your intuition whispers, but its messages are so fleeting that you don't even have time to take them into account during a conversation. For example, the other person wrinkled their face for an instant. Was it out of annoyance, or rather something they remembered? They also took a deep breath and looked away. Are they disagreeing with what you said? Why is it that when they say 'yes' to you, they seem to be reluctant? Just as you can't learn French overnight, the same goes for Body Language. The difference is that when it comes to French, the language doesn't come 'pre-programmed' in your brain, so learning it requires effort and time. But in the case of body language, it is a skill that is already inside you thanks to millions of years of evolution. You just have to reactivate it. The most common problem is that you want to learn in a short time what all the postures, gestures, attitudes, voice tones, distance between people, facial expressions mean.... It's impossible. No matter how hard you try that way, you will not make progress; rather, you will get frustrated. And there is another thing you need to take into account: Some people are able to 'read' your body and voice, just by looking at you. They may have learned it through studies, or they may be the so-called 'naturals', who have mastered it since birth. The truth is that at least 1 in 10 people are able to know what you feel and what your intentions are, only because your body reveals them to them without you realizing it, or being able to do anything about it. They just pick up on your signals. I felt that for too long; I call it 'Emotional Nakedness'. They use the information they get from your body to persuade you... and sometimes even manipulate you. If you're lucky, those people who can 'read' you won't have bad intentions. But how can you be sure of that? Just as important as knowing how to read the Body Language of others, is knowing how to control your own. It is as important as knowing how to speak. Even more so, because if you don't want to reveal something with words, you just have to keep silent. With your body you don't have that luxury. So where do you start with your body language studies? Here's a method with which you can learn body language step by step, at your own pace and from the general to the more specific details. Mastering Body Language is the means to make everyone transparent to you. Sounds easy enough, right? The problem is that there are so many variables that it's easy to get lost trying to remember them all. Did they touch their nose? which hand? what were they saying at the moment? and why did their eyes turn to the person on their right? Trying to decode Body Language is fun, until you find out it's really easy to feel overwhelmed. That's why I wrote this book ;) Absolutely all the rules you knew about Persuasion and Influence change when you master body language. You will detect the intentions of people around you at a glance. You will learn to detect the true sources of their emotions. You will exploit the secrets of charisma to awaken your personal magnetism. You'll get complete strangers to trust you in a matter of minutes. ...and you can start right now. I'll see you there! Jesus Enrique Rosas The Body Language Guy

Without Saying a Word
Author: Kasia Wezowski
Publisher: AMACOM
ISBN: 0814439748
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
One wrong move can undercut your message. Believe it or not, our bodies speak louder than our words. Postures, gestures, and expressions convey reams of information—and often not what you’d expect. A smile, for example, is usually considered welcoming. However, crook one corner of your mouth higher and you project superiority, subconsciously chasing other people away. This book explains how even the subtlest motions have meaning. Distilling decades of research, Without Saying a Word deciphers these unspoken signals: facial expressions, fleeting micro expressions, positive body language, negative body language, And much more! Discover which postures and gestures indicate confidence and build rapport—and which reveal disinterest, arrogance, or even aggression. Learn to end off-putting habits, accentuate good ones, and become an authentic and effective communicator. Exhibiting body language that is open, honest, and self-assured increases your social influence and enhances your skill as a negotiator while the ability to read the emotions and intentions of others is equally indispensable. Whether you’re making a presentation, pitching a project, or closing a deal, the right body language can be your best ally.

Digital Body Language

Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250246539
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
An instant Wall Street Journal Bestseller The definitive guide to communicating and connecting in a hybrid world. Email replies that show up a week later. Video chats full of “oops sorry no you go” and “can you hear me?!” Ambiguous text-messages. Weird punctuation you can’t make heads or tails of. Is it any wonder communication takes us so much time and effort to figure out? How did we lose our innate capacity to understand each other? Humans rely on body language to connect and build trust, but with most of our communication happening from behind a screen, traditional body language signals are no longer visible -- or are they? In Digital Body Language, Erica Dhawan, a go-to thought leader on collaboration and a passionate communication junkie, combines cutting edge research with engaging storytelling to decode the new signals and cues that have replaced traditional body language across genders, generations, and culture. In real life, we lean in, uncross our arms, smile, nod and make eye contact to show we listen and care. Online, reading carefully is the new listening. Writing clearly is the new empathy. And a phone or video call is worth a thousand emails. Digital Body Language will turn your daily misunderstandings into a set of collectively understood laws that foster connection, no matter the distance. Dhawan investigates a wide array of exchanges—from large conferences and video meetings to daily emails, texts, IMs, and conference calls—and offers insights and solutions to build trust and clarity to anyone in our ever changing world.

Wall Street Journal bestseller! For anyone who wants to be heard at work, earn that overdue promotion, or win more clients, deals, and projects, the bestselling author of Captivate, Vanessa Van Edwards, shares her advanced guide to improving professional relationships through the power of cues. What makes someone charismatic? Why do some captivate a room, while others have trouble managing a small meeting? What makes some ideas spread, while other good ones fall by the wayside? If you have ever been interrupted in meetings, overlooked for career opportunities or had your ideas ignored, your cues may be the problem – and the solution. Cues – the tiny signals we send to others 24/7 through our body language, facial expressions, word choice, and vocal inflection – have a massive impact on how we, and our ideas, come across. Our cues can either enhance our message or undermine it. In this entertaining and accessible guide to the hidden language of cues, Vanessa Van Edwards teaches you how to convey power, trust, leadership, likeability, and charisma in every interaction. You’ll learn: • Which body language cues assert, “I’m a leader, and here’s why you should join me.” • Which vocal cues make you sound more confident • Which verbal cues to use in your résumé, branding, and emails to increase trust (and generate excitement about interacting with you.) • Which visual cues you are sending in your profile pictures, clothing, and professional brand. Whether you're pitching an investment, negotiating a job offer, or having a tough conversation with a colleague, cues can help you improve your relationships, express empathy, and create meaningful connections with lasting impact. This is an indispensable guide for entrepreneurs, team leaders, young professionals, and anyone who wants to be more influential.
