30 Covert Emotional Manipulation Tactics: How Manipulators Take Control In Personal Relationships Kindle Edition
Learn the manipulator's game, so they can't play it with you. Identifying covert emotional manipulation is tricky. You sense something is wrong, but you can't quite put your finger on the problem. This powerful book will reveal to you if manipulation is at play in your relationships. It will open your eyes.
You will learn thirty tactics manipulators use to get what they want. You will also learn to spot the warning signs within yourself that expose covert manipulation is taking place, even if you can't identify the specific tactics being used.
This book is geared toward romantic relationships, including those involving a pathological partner. Even so, many of the manipulation tactics are the same as those used by family members, coworkers, friends and others.
Covert emotional manipulation tactics are underhanded methods of control. Emotional manipulation methodically wears down your self-worth and damages your trust in your own perceptions. It can make you unwittingly compromise your personal boundaries and lose your self-respect, and even lead to a warped concept of yourself and of reality. With your defenses weakened or completely disarmed in this manner, you are left even more vulnerable to further manipulation and psychological harm.
Empower yourself and get your life back!
"An excellent and concise guide to emotional abuse. Here is a concise listing with well written descriptions of each method and tactic of emotional abusers. In my opinion everyone should read this book. Forewarned is forearmed."
"Clear, concise, accurate portrayal of complex subject matter impacting many people. I appreciate the accessibility to the general public of a topic that is often overlooked, but impacts morale not only in romantic relationships, but in the family, at work and in myriad social situations."
"Wow. What a sap I've been. I've been victimized by a control freak domineering wife for nearly 30 years. I knew I was passive but I had no idea how cutthroat she really was. Very eye opening."
"This author nails it. Some examples were direct quotes from people I know, so I know I am not alone in having been manipulated. It is directly applicable to my life and gives excellent guidance for how to recognize and therefore avoid manipulations in the future. I am recommending it to a number of my friends."
"At first I thought this was another of those "little books" with no content. I went ahead and got it anyway. Immediately I realized I was wrong. Good choice."
"Knowing the tactics made me far less emotional about what has been happening, better able to deal with the manipulation. Consequently, I look less crazy, I count that as a win!"
"BRAVO! Everyone should read this... if you're in a controlling relationship, man or woman, this will help you spell it out. Don't let these people in at ANY cost..it's not worth your LIFE"
"Short and right to the point. Worth re-reading and, because of the format, it was easy to locate points that I wanted to find again. This book provides instant clarity."
"Must read for anyone who interacts with other people, ever! VERY useful information everyone should be aware of!"
"Great! This is one of those great little book that you come across once in a while. The book is short because it left all the bulls*** and fillers out!"
"Excellent! A must read for anyone that is lost in a relationship. I would like to thank the author for an eye opening experience! This book has clarified more for me than I have ever understood in my entire life time.
"Impressive! Short, direct, and thought-provoking. I only wish I had read it years ago! Every young person should read this before dating!"
"If you're wondering . . . "gee, should I read this book?" The answer is YES.It should be required for every human adult's relationship toolkit."

This book won't give you case studies, or indepth personal experiences or how you should handle each tactic, but then the book doesn't claim to.
If you think you might be in a relationship with a narcissist or someone that seems to really be playing on your sense of reality eg. gaslighting, then I'd recommend this book as a starting point as you will see if you recognise your partner in these pages. If you do, seek help!
Men: read this, so you know what could be thrown at you.
A very good read and Knowledge you probably will need when starting or in a relationship.

I think this should be required reading by every young adult especially when starting new relationships or entering marriage. Once you learn the manipulative tactics, you will be able to defend yourself against it. You will have clearer boundaries to protect yourself and will maintain your self worth. Plus you will know if you yourself are being manipulative or controlling in order to get what you want.
This book is to the point, a short read, and worth every minute of your time for the sake of the quality of your life.

I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who feels they’ve been in a relationship that is manipulative, controlling, confusing and soul crushing.
I shed many tears throughout the book, as it was all too familiar, however after finishing the book I no longer feel alone with what I’ve personally experienced. Healing will take however long it takes, but I’m so thankful I chose this book and absolutely recommended it!
