Summary

If you want to know more about the vicious cycle around you, then keep reading...

The truth is: Covert manipulation is needed when a person wants to gain power with the help of tricky techniques. People adopting these techniques will try to take control of the behavior, perceptions, and thoughts of the person they want to take control of.

The covert emotional manipulation takes place with the help of a conscious awareness of the person who has to be manipulated. The person is considered psychologically captive and, above all, they never realize what's going to happen. A skilled manipulator is capable of putting a person's sense of self-esteem and emotional health in his own hands. Once this is done, the manipulator ensures that the victim's self-esteem has reached its final limit. Do you want to keep abreast of tactics or signs that help in the identification of manipulation? Read on....

Victims often fail to realize that they are under the control of the manipulator. There are several tactics that the manipulators can use against the victims. It is always good to remain aware of these tactics and to know whether or not they are being manipulated.

Practice a manipulator game, so they can't play it with you. The detection for implicit emotional manipulation is difficult. You sense that something is wrong, but you can't really put your finger on the issue. This insightful book will prove to you that deceit is at play in your relationships. Your eyes will be opened. 

Covering emotional manipulation is a deceptive and abusive way of controlling relationships. It happens when a person uses underhanded methods to change the thinking, behavior, and perceptions of the other person in order to gain power and control. It's really pitiful; nobody deserves to be treated like this.

What you will learn: 

  • Introduction 
  • Habits of manipulative people
  • How to spot manipulation

Written in an easy to understand way. I was able to recognise and reflect on my experiences of both my own behaviour and others. Very useful.
