Summary

Dr. George K. Simon knows how people push your buttons: your children---especially teens---are experts at it, as is your mate. A coworker may quietly undermine your efforts while professing to be helpful, or your boss may prey on your weaknesses. Manipulative people have two goals: to win and to look good doing it. Too often, those they abuse are only vaguely aware of what is happening to them. In this eye-opening book, you'll discover:

  • four reasons why victims have a hard time leaving abusive relationships
  • power tactics manipulative people use to push their own agendas and justify their behavior
  • ways to redefine the rules of engagement between you and the abuser
  • how to spot potential weaknesses in your character that can set you up for manipulation
  • two tools for personal empowerment to help you maintain greater strength in all relationships

Insightful and practical

The book is written in way that simplifies the behaviours and strategies of manipulators. Also removes any ambiguity about their intention. Last chapters give examples of successful strategies.

Very clear and useful. An eye opener to me.

Very clear and useful. An eye opener. Even though I have a grasp on psychology, this book made so much sense and is so simple. Advanced take on how to see the abusers.

I have only good things to say

A good read and a valuable insight of the human mind. Especially removing bad excuses for bad behavior

Slow start, slow end, but the middle was fantastic

This book contains an abundance of information that in its entirety is worth the purchase of the book. Things that make you straighten your head and say "oh, my god!".

He:
- Tells you all the different types of abusers
- Tells you a collection of short stories where someone is being taken advantage of
- Walks you through each story, explaining how each person is tricked, and what they could have done differently.

I only subtract stars because unfortunately those moments are frequently buried in waffle. Sometimes there is way too much detail on completely irrelevant points or sidetracks. Considering how interesting some of the things he says are, I found myself zoning out too many times.

But I will be returning to the bookmarks I have marked, because this was truly fascinating.
