The Art Of Psychological Warfare: How To Skillfully Influence People Undetected And How To Mentally Subdue Your Enemies In Stealth Mode

people can destroy your inner self by using psychological traps and tricks The chapter about reading people's faces, body language was the most interesting read ever. On several occasions I felt as though I was around a person who could be manipulative but was not sure, thanks to this book I a better insight to what to look for.

The title of the book was grabbing. The author started off strong but lost me about halfway in. This book did not meet my expectations. I think it's overpriced. I won't suggest a price but it definitely cost way more than what I think it should retail for. Disappointing read.

great book

I am sure this book has helped many people.

Highly recommended

It gives me a new lens to look at the way I have been approached by different people in life. There are occasions where it feels like some people trying to be manipulative but I was not sure, as the mind tricks are not visible to be as convincing. Reading this book gives me confidence to trust my gut, rather than doubting myself of making assumptions. This book is a good read for anyone really. I would particularly recommend it to fresh grad who are about to see the real world of politics in an office.

Easy read. Basic info with humor. I enjoyed it. This word count is silly . I say what I want to say. I like being succinct.

I read this book in about 45 minutes. Not because I read fast, but because there is barely anything in here. Large font double spaced type, does not dive into any topic in any great detail. The entire premise is: this thing happened, that's psychological warfare; this happened to, thats physiological warfare....etc. Wow thanks. Tricked me out of my $10 with the title and the description...guess what? That is psychological warfare. Good job you win.

This book.. man how did u come to writing this? Michael are you serious? The book is not completly off, but for effing sake, it explains nothing really. It is not scientific, it is condescending and it sounds like Michael doesn't really understood what he says. Not everything is wrong, but nothing is explained and its always pictured as in:"If you scratch your Nose, you seem to have a good idea!" And they will believe you immediatly. Like for real there is Information in here thats not wrong, like mirroring pace, body movements, reading other peoples expressions aswell as their reactions. But it just says that you should be aware of it. It is frustrating to read to me because it focus so much on faking everything on the surface, without any depth. You are allowed to help others and be a nice Person because you actually are. And just for your Information Michael, Autistic folks are mostly aces at empathy, they mask their whole Life to please others through their own adapted behavior to the point it makes them seriously ill. The condescending tone in this book is annoying and it feels like written by a person who has watched a youtube video about it. Its just weirdly phrased and unpleasent. Always focusing on HAVING POWER AND MIND CONTROL. like geez just relax a bit with that. Take time to explain why something works and not that it does and thats the end of it. Crossing your arms is not always rejection, it also is self comforting behavior. Humans are more complex than this. I am disappointed with this, there are books that actually try to explain human behavior and influencing it. This reads like something that is written hasty and without scientific background. A quote: "never 'i am sorry i said that,' but 'i am sorry you feel that way about what i said!'" How simple minded is this, never will people not notice how this is blaming the person for how they feel about something you maybe said that was not nice or correct. Its sad advice that makes you look like a manipulative twat and for sure is the wrong approach to this. If you really interested in this, get other Books. This is certainly not knowledge based, and never explained why something works out if it does(like pacing, or listening more than talking, steering a conversation or gaslighting.) The one positive thing about this book, the last chapter is written well, sound honset and not so forced like all the other parts. It is like an overview of what is happening in the absolut most general way. No special tricks or skills are explained. Kinda meh.

If your looking for the basics then this book is a good start point.

Excellent
