Manipulation
Eight Ways to Control Others
Joseph Kirschner
translated by
J. Maxwell Brownjohn
This is a shrewd and ruthless
analysis of what everyone does to
everybody else everyday—psy-
chological manipulation. Here are
the eight ways to make others do
what you want them to, and to min-
imize your own chances of being
exploited.
The author warns you, first of all,
to identify your opponents—and in
theManipulation Game, that means
everyone: your boss, the media,
your family, the opposite sex. In
thistraining manual of basic human
interaction, you can learn how to
increase yourself-confidence by
systematically demolishing your
opponents; how to control your
own emotions while profiting from
the passions of others; how to
understand fear and overcome
it;
and how to think on one level while
talking on another. Manipulation
makes it possible for you to win
every game.
Rule 1: If you wantto betalked
about, use your
elbows.
Rule 2: Don't justsitthere—do
something! Do the un-
expected, and do
it
deliberately.
Rule 3: Don't equate pack-
aging with contents.
Nobody's looking after
you, so fend for
yourself.
