Human predators roam among us. Although there aren’t many of them, they have a tremendous influence. To them, the rest of us are prey. Predators manipulate their prey using well-tried tricks. Once you know these tricks, it is much easier to avoid them or to stop them in their tracks.

Every bad relationship, every destructive group, every dangerous government has a human predator at its heart. Predators rely upon persuasion. In honest persuasion, we have access to all of the facts - and different opinions about those facts - and enough time and privacy to consider these facts and opinions.

But then there is the type of persuasion used by predators, which is simply manipulation. To manipulate means to manage or influence skillfully, especially in an unfair manner. Facts are hidden or distorted, and we are rushed into decisions that take away our own authority and harm our interests.

Predators cause upset, conflict, corruption, and devastation. By seeing through their methods, we can take power away from human predators and have a much greater chance to overcome the problems they cause in our personal and group relationships.

This audiobook will show you how to deal with predators and how to make society safe from their tricks and traps.

Read by the author. This filled in many gaps in my knowledge. Also, the concepts in this book should become general knowledge and practice.

Fascinating

The production of this audiobook is terrible. But it's still very much worth listening to. I only wish the author researched the topic of parent alienation, so that he wouldn't contribute to a very harmful myth.

Worth listening despite few issues
