Summary
Christel Petitcollin: How to avoid manipulators
The ways in which we can be manipulated are countless. From emotional blackmail that we can experience in family or work, to submission to a friend or partner in a relationship. In any walk of life, we will find people who will be happy to seize the opportunity to manipulate us, and the techniques and tactics that can be used against us are incredibly effective and sophisticated, so much so that they are often extremely difficult to recognize. At the heart of this book are the confessions of victims of manipulation, and from them Christel Petitcollin extrapolates her basic thesis in a clear and readable way: that intelligent people always have problems with recognizing appearances in others, especially bad intentions seemingly masked by benevolence, that precisely because of their own good intentions they are unable to recognize the source of other people's manipulative behavior. When you close the last page, you will be able to recognize toxic people in your environment and the newly acquired knowledge will free you from the status of a serial victim of manipulations and restore your psychological independence.
