Amazing Insights!

if you interact with other people, you need to read this book! I was blown away by the number of behaviors I have encountered in my personal and professional experiences. Knowing what are constructive and appropriate responses to these behaviors can be difficult. This book does a great job of portraying what these behaviors can look like and how to set the boundaries you should to protect yourself and your loved ones. Manipulation, gas lighting, emotional abuse, love bombing are things that can really catch you off guard if you are not prepared. I highly recommend it!

I needed This!

A Practical Application of Dark Psychology, this is a really good audio, and came at a really good time for me! I am so appreciative of this author for all of the insight and sharing involved! I have had so many of these people in my life over the years, I knew there was something going on but just was unable to put my finger on what was going on, all I felt was defeated all the time when they were in my life. Crazy as it is, one happened to call while listening to this, I was able to see it for what it was and respond to their controlling tactics with a come back that stopped it right then and there. I will be listening to this again and again, it gives me confidence to just see clearly and not put up with it anymore. Thank You So Much!

Eye-opening and Empowering

This audiobook proved to be incredibly helpful. Reflecting on my past, I wish I had access to this insightful resource years ago. While listening, I recognized traits in individuals I've fortunately moved on from—lessons learned the hard way. The audiobook teaches how to shield oneself from the manipulative games and tactics narcissists employ, a difficult task when your judgment is clouded by 'love' or affection. It emphasizes the crucial first step: identifying a narcissist.

Shifting gears, my previous experience in sales often required strategies to influence purchases, leaving me with a sense of dishonesty. However, the chapter on 'The Art of Persuasion' was enlightening, helping me distinguish between ethical persuasion and outright manipulation, alleviating my discomfort.

For anyone aiming to fortify themselves against narcissistic manipulation or simply seeking a deeper comprehension of human behavior, I highly recommend this audiobook. The narration enhances the experience, making the insights even more accessible.
