An important intro to manipulation tactics
A good listen to anyone, especially for people working in the cyber security field. The book doesn't really go in depth with the tactics, but is a good introduction to the field. The questionable NLP tactics have a disclaimer, which I personally find a good enough reason to listen through.

Entertaining
This book is mildly entertaining but full of sweeping generalisations and nothing ground breaking.
To sum up, take online security seriously and follow protocols at work to the letter!

Pass on this or read it yourself
The narrator ruins this for me. no emotion and sounds like my GPS is reading me a book. Don't even know if I'll finish this. so boring

Extremely drawn out
First of all, I couldn’t get over the vast amount of time he said “social engineer” it felt like 1-2 times a sentence. At least abbreviate it and you could shave 2 hours off this book. Secondly, most of this info is almost common sense. Don’t say the wrong thing, look presentable, know about the target, etc. the only truly valuable info came from him telling past stories.

Silly
Couldn’t make it past chapter 3. Absolute nonsense. The concept of nudging people and how others influence us is worth better understanding. Try Cialdini.
