Halte aux manipulateurs [Stop the Manipulators]

Realistic, the author underlines the fact that manipulation is an everyday part of human relations. Still, he points out that excessive manipulation can have negative consequences. Although everyone will sometimes recognize themselves in the portraits of the bully, the victim or the savior, the more sinister portrait of the perverse narcissist shows the impact of excessive manipulation on the personality. The author also drafts a rapid description of the most common manipulative techniques, as well as the mechanisms on which they are based. The last part of the book provides self-affirmation advice to help people avoid falling prey to manipulators.
