About this listen
Master the subtle science of getting people to do what you want—by telling them not to.
Ever told someone not to do something and watched them do it immediately? That’s no accident—it’s reverse psychology in action. Whether you’re a parent facing a stubborn toddler, a teacher trying to motivate students, or just someone who’s tired of hearing “no,” this book reveals how to flip the script with science-backed persuasion.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- What reverse psychology really is (and what it isn’t)
- How psychological reactance explains our urge to rebel
- When it works best—by age, personality, and setting
- How to use it at home, work, and even in marketing
- The warning signs of when it backfires—and how to avoid them
With real-world examples, light humor, and expert insight, Reverse Psychology is your step-by-step guide to smarter influence. Learn how to persuade without pressure and make people want to choose your side—while thinking it was their idea all along.
