The Dark Psychology of Persuasion
Damian Bishop
Ever felt like someone talked you into saying yes… and you didn’t even know how it happened? Or wished you had that kind of control?
You're about to discover exactly how they do it— and how you can use the same tools to influence anyone in your life… ethically or not.
This audiobook doesn’t waste time with theory. It hands you the exact psychological levers used by top negotiators, marketers, politicians, cult leaders—and everyday people who seem to get what they want without trying.
You’ll finally understand why some people always get the raise, the date, the deal, or the favor— and how you can, too.
Here’s what’s inside:
How persuasion really worksWhat separates genuine influence from shady manipulationThe three core modes of persuasionThe Barnum EffectHow social pressure rewires your brainWhy “ethical persuasion” isn’t an oxymoronPsychological triggers that make people say yesSubliminal persuasionHow to train yourself to resist manipulationMaster persuasion once, and it’ll change how you work, sell, lead, negotiate, and connect—with anyone.
The tools are already being used on you. It’s time to flip the script.
