About this listen
If you've ever wondered what it would really be like to have the ability to influence others, then keep reading.
You cannot prevent yourself from being influenced and, in turn, influencing other people as you go through life. Since you are not living in a vacuum, there are countless objects around you. Houses, trees, furniture, honey pots, a delicious dinner, and last but not least other people.
It all influences you. It influences your thoughts, and your thoughts influence your actions. In turn, your actions also affect your environment. It's always this way.
Most of the time, you are also in blissful ignorance of what made you do a certain action or think a particular thought. You are simply convinced that you did things by yourself. Of course, that may be so, but more likely it is that you have been influenced by something or someone, so your thoughts have taken exactly that direction.
There is always someone who wants to teach you something, who wants to persuade you to buy something, who wants to persuade you to vote for a party, or who has a certain opinion about what is true, good and beautiful.
From the moment you open your eyes in the morning until you fall asleep in the evening, you are exposed to an infinite stream of persuasion and persuasion. And those that have made these manipulations their mission would like to do that without you noticing. It's a lot easier, so they do not owe you any explanation if they tie the strings to your puppet brain.
The purpose of this book is to let you know:
- How to recognize these techniques, defend yourself, and use them in your favor
- How to detect and combat manipulation in a relationship.
- How to master the art of persuasion and learn about the world of manipulation
- How to read people and body language
- How to know what others want
- How to influence others
This book talks about all these topics and more. And even if you don't know anything about these topics, it will help you in simplicity to know and recognize these arts and to be able to use them in everyday life.
Don't wait any longer, buy now!

For many marketing professionals, "science" is a four-letter word. They see brand-building as an unteachable art guided by their intuition and experience. But at its core, marketing aims to seed ideas into people's minds, make them feel a certain way, and, ultimately, get them to act. In Brand Seduction, Daryl reveals the latest psychological and neuroscientific discoveries about how our minds process brand information and make decisions, and the important roles our emotions and unconscious play in our selections.

Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective. Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

A smart and funny book by a prominent Harvard psychologist, which uses groundbreaking research and (often hilarious) anecdotes to show us why we’re so lousy at predicting what will make us happy–and what we can do about it. Most of us spend our lives steering ourselves toward the best of all possible futures, only to find that tomorrow rarely turns out as we had expected. Why? As Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert explains, when people try to imagine what the future will hold, they make some basic and consistent mistakes.

I have become realized well from this book.
More and more people are still enslaved to their emotions and that is negatively impacting their relationships and work. You need a shift from mere theories to a more hands-on approach to Emotional Intelligence that can bring about real-life results.

While Dark Persuasion has an interesting premise and the potential to explore some of the darker emotions guilt, jealousy, obsession the book never overcomes a number of failures in its execution.
