A wake up call!

We would all like to believe that no one in the world is out to get us, but unfortunately this isn’t true. Educating ourselves is the first step to protecting ourselves and this book is a good source of information. It highlights red flags we should look for. It’s easy to understand and I believe everyone could benefit from reading (or listening) to this book.

Book with decent information, but some mispronunciations.

This book was a gift. I listened to this book straight through, as it is rather short in length. Although it contained some good information, at many points I felt as though someone was reading a long Wikihow page out loud to me or a long Quora answer. This, however, was not my biggest issue. The narrator of the books mispronounces several words throughout the book. I understand that we are all human, but it seems as though this could have been prevented or at least fixed after the fact. Not a bad book, but it could have been presented better.

This is a brilliant asset for entrepreneurs such as myself who are keen on dark psychology, yet weren't exactly certain how it will change the idea of our work.
