Introduction
Congratulations on downloading this book and thank you for doing so.
Have you ever walked into a confrontation feeling so sure of yourself, then
walk out feeling confused, but with no valid reason why you would be
convinced by the other person? Have you ever walked out of a
conversation agreeing to do something for someone but could not identify
why you agreed to it in the first place? Chances are, you’ve manipulated.
Whether by playing on your emotions or through persuasive words, you
were brought to believe in or act on something that you were not entirely
agreeable to initially. You could be utterly convinced and so sure of
yourself before you began the conversation but midway, you found
yourself at a loss for words, confused, frazzled and disoriented.
Manipulation can feel like you are being controlled, and leave you
doubting your own abilities. Being manipulated constantly can leave you
frustrated, demoralized and despondent, wondering how you didn’t see
this coming. Could you have prevented it though, IF you knew just how to
analyze the signs that indicate one someone may be up to no good?
Manipulators exercise their influence by exploiting your emotions and
distorting your mental perceptions to control and gain benefits from you.
They prey on your weaknesses and take advantage of you through
communication strategies designed to distract you enough that you don’t
see what they’re up to until it’s too late. It is important to identify whether
you are being manipulated to protect yourself from being taken advantage
of, and facilitate a healthy balance of power in relationships. And it begins
by learning how to analyze people.
One of the other ways to tell whether you are being manipulated is through
body language. The powerful, unspoken and subtle cues that speak
volumes when you know what to look out for. By recognizing the gestures,
postures and facial expressions emitted, one can identify and understand
the complete message of what someone is trying -or trying not- to say.
Learning how to analyze another can yield some fascinating revelations,
and more importantly, open your eyes to the signs that you may be taken
advantage so you can take the steps to prevent or stop the advances
completely.

Chapter 1: 13 Laws of Manipulation
Would you believe that at every waking moment of your life, your mind is
being manipulated or controlled in one way or another? Not necessarily
always by someone you know either. Social media, online news content,
the things you see and hear in traditional media, advertisements,
conversations we see and hear at work or in our personal lives. They’re all
some form of manipulation or mind control, and most of the time, it’s
happening without you even realizing it. Even what you’re about to read
throughout the next chapters in this book could be a form of
“manipulation” that influences your thoughts to a certain extent.
Why though, is the human mind so susceptible to manipulation? Could it
be that our mind is full of what is known as “loopholes”? Let’s take a look
at the Solomon Asch experiment which was conducted in 1957. This
experiment on conformity was carried out by Asch in a series of
psychological tests to reveal the degree to which an individual’s opinions
could be influenced by that of a group of people. The results, Asch
discovered, were that with the right amount of peer pressure, people were
willing to ignore the facts or reality that was in front of them and resort to
giving a false or incorrect response just to conform to the rest of the
group.
