Dark Psychology and Manipulation

Publisher: The Book Public
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
- Are you tired of having the wool pulled over your eyes? - Do you feel that people are always taking advantage of you or your relationships are superficial and fake? - Are you ready to stand against those who think they can manipulate and take advantage of you? If you answered yes to any of the following statements, this book is for you. Why? Dark Psychology and Manipulation is a book that draws attention to the manipulating and persuasive behavior of those around us who choose to use them to further hidden motives. From the workplace to your home, with your colleagues, friends, or family, we sometimes want to believe that those who care about us would never manipulate us. The sad reality is, sometimes, it is those who are closest that take advantage of the kind-hearted. In Dark Psychology and Manipulation, we discuss the techniques that make up the facet of dark psychology, including persuasion, manipulation, and coercion. As you read on, I explain methods of identifying deceit and manipulation, and I provide helpful techniques on how to protect yourself from further being a victim. Once you have understood the many forms of dark psychology, I then detail how to turn things around to benefit you for the better. I want to show you how you can use manipulation, persuasion, and coercion for good. I also discuss how you can turn the tables on the very people who thought they could take advantage of you. What am I going to get out of this? Your dignity, confidence, and peace of mind will never be forced to do anything you don’t want. There are plenty of books on “how to” manipulate and be persuasive. Dark Psychology and Manipulation is different. It shares helpful pointers that will help create awareness with useful tools to manage someone who thinks they can manipulate or persuade you. It is human nature to be easily swayed when we perceive something to benefit us. For example, we think if someone compliments and is drawn to us, we may feel important and valuable. What we don’t see is the hidden motives of such behaviors and actions that come afterwards. Inside the pages of Dark Psychology and Manipulation, I will cover techniques on protecting yourself from dark psychology and how to identify the art of dark psychology. Learn about… - The mentality of a manipulator - Psychological Triad (Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychotherapy) - Emotional intelligence - Persuasion and influence - Turning the tables on the manipulator to benefit you - And much, much more! Stop being the emotional, mental, and verbal punching bag of a manipulator. Don’t let someone trick you into thinking they care, have your interest at heart, or know what’s best for you. Take a stand, and turn the tables on anyone seeking to cause you harm. I have created Dark Psychology and Manipulation as an easy to read guide to stop the negativity toxicity that comes from those who believe in manipulation, persuasion, and narcissism to get what they want.

Author: Marvela Dawnay
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1477298843
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
MANipulated Into Fear is based on a true story about a man I went to high school with and years later married and divorced three times within thirteen years. His name was Rolf. During this time, I was living the dark side of life but others perceived me as living a happy and perfect life. Back in our high school days Rolf grew up as a farmer and drank beer with his buddies. After high school he began to run with the wrong crowd and changed dramatically. I knew he liked to drink a lot of beer and liquor and had used drugs in the past, but I was not aware of his addictive personality and the severity of his addictions. At the beginning of our relationship each time he portrayed himself as the man I had thought he was years before. Within a period of time he began to manipulate me into fear and take control of my life to benefit himself. All three times in the beginning of my relationship with Rolf he was dedicated to Christ, was family-oriented, charming, kind, respectful, and loving, complimented me all the time, apologized for his actions, and knew how to make me feel sorry for him. Shortly after I would marry him he would begin to manipulate and con me into doing things I did not want to do. Rolf would call me uncountable times during the day and want to know my whereabouts. He then insisted on being with me except for when I was at work. This took my time away from friends and family, and that is when the mental abuse began. He stopped complimenting me and began calling me names making me feel worthless, and told me that nobody liked me. When I would accuse him of wrongdoings he would become outraged, screaming at me and using profanity. After he gained control of me, the physical abuse began. Later, I learned that I had repeatedly been involved with a psychopath and that there is always a pattern. Get out of the relationship and don't go back! The person will never change!

The Nazi's Granddaughter
Author: Silvia Foti
Publisher: Regnery History
ISBN: 1684511089
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
Hero–or Nazi? Silvia Foti was raised on reverent stories about her hero grandfather, a martyr for Lithuanian independence and an unblemished patriot. Jonas Noreika, remembered as “General Storm,” had resisted his country’s German and Soviet occupiers in World War II, surviving two years in a Nazi concentration camp only to be executed in 1947 by the KGB. His granddaughter, growing up in Chicago, was treated like royalty in her tightly knit Lithuanian community. But in 2000, when Silvia traveled to Lithuania for a ceremony honoring her grandfather, she heard a very different story—a “rumor” that her grandfather had been a “Jew-killer.” The Nazi’s Granddaughter is Silvia’s account of her wrenching twenty-year quest for the truth, from a beautiful house confiscated from its Jewish owners, to familial confessions and the Holocaust tour guide who believed that her grandfather had murdered members of his family. A heartbreaking and dramatic story based on exhaustive documentary research and soul-baring interviews, The Nazi’s Granddaughter is an unforgettable journey into World War II history, intensely personal but filled with universal lessons about courage, faith, memory, and justice.
