We are all victims of manipulation in one way or another. From our normal day-to-day interactions, the media, societal influences, or even in our jobs, dark psychology tactics are everywhere. You would be surprised that it is not always “evil” people who use them, but we also use them in pursuing the things we want in life. In fact, some alpha males use these exact tactics in getting what they desire. The tactics covered in this book include fractionation, seduction, persuasion, manipulation, mind control, neuro-linguistic programming, body language analysis, gaslighting, hypnosis, emotional intelligence, and much more.

The author starts the book by taking us through persuasion. This is a tactic that we use in our everyday lives, and seldom stop to think about it. Persuasion is very powerful. It is what allows children to get things from their parents, gets a salesperson to make sales, and could even get you a job. The audiobook discusses various elements of persuasion, the theories of persuasion, and how alpha males use the power of persuasion to get what they want.

Dark psychology is associated with using persuasion and other tactics for personal gain and can simultaneously cause harm to the victims. There are individuals who want to be able to manipulate others so that they feel superior to them. Narcissists, sociopaths, Machiavellians, and many others are among the individuals that use these tactics for harm. Such individuals manipulate their victims using various techniques that are discussed in this book in great detail. These strategies are invaluable to understand in avoiding individuals using these tactics for nefarious ends against you.

Business people use these tricks every day. Whether it is to get people to buy from them or to stay on top of their game as a company or businessman, various tricks are used. Mind control is another common tactic by individuals who want to have the upper hand over others. There are various people in society who use mind control to manipulate others. Leaders in sects or cults can also use mind control as a way of keeping their followers submissive to them. In this book, the author discusses the people who use mind control, the tools they use, as well as the principles they use to control others.

Some of the most manipulative people in the world are charismatic people. Some are born with this trait, while the majority learn it. The author discusses developing charisma and how one can use advanced persuasion tactics to outsmart or persuade others.

We all have a dark side that we try to hide from ourselves and the rest of the world. The author discusses this topic in detail and how we can work with and understand our dark side to become better people. The dark side is what is responsible for people losing their sanity in a moment of anger and committing crimes they would otherwise never have committed. Embracing your dark side is important in controlling it and not letting it control you.

Understanding our dark side sheds light on some behaviors that could be changed for the better. It all begins with our minds. This book teaches how alpha males can reprogram their mind to become more masculine, eliminate beta behaviors, and get the things that they want out of life.

Whether you want to manipulate others, learn how people are manipulated, or avoid being manipulated, this audiobook is an excellent listen in addressing these issues comprehensively.
