great and valuable book. I love the extra contents with this purchase!

Very inspiring information.

Solid book. Respective chapters but overall very informative and can’t beat the price.

amazing insight to how to deal with people that bring negativity into your space!

I’m not finished with the book but with what I’ve read it is pretty great. I feel like it gets to the point quickly and breaks things down great. This book is for those who probably communicate a whole bunch, in relationships, or work jobs that are like sales or whatever.

This book presents itself as an ambitious "9 books in 1" dark psychology guide, but what it actually delivers is perhaps the most meta demonstration of manipulation techniques I've ever encountered.Let's analyze what's actually here: 247 pages total, with each "book" burning through pages on title, contents, introduction, conclusion, and references—leaving a mere 11 pages of actual content per book. The presentation further inflates this minimal content with oversized text, generous spacing, and strategic blank pages.The substance itself is disappointingly circular—endlessly repeating basic concepts without providing actionable techniques or a genuine "playbook" as promised. Most telling is the QR code at the end that reveals the author's true mastery of dark psychology: it directs readers to leave five-star Amazon reviews in exchange for additional content.The extensive reference section initially appears scholarly, yet further investigation reveals another layer of manipulation. The author, "Roger Glenwood," has no discoverable background or credentials, raising questions about authenticity. The text's repetitive nature and formulaic structure strongly suggest AI-generated content built around the cited references.What we have is a brilliant, if ethically questionable, application of the very manipulation techniques it claims to teach. It uses basic marketing psychology to:1. Create perceived value ("9 books in 1!")2. Leverage the reciprocity principle (QR code "bonus" for positive reviews)3. Exploit cognitive biases that equate physical heft with intellectual valueAs a genuine resource on dark psychology, this book deserves one star. But as a case study in manipulative marketing and psychological influence tactics? It's ironically educational—just not in the way it promises.Save your money. There are numerous legitimate, substantive works on persuasion and psychological influence written by verifiable experts that deliver actual insights rather than merely demonstrating them through their marketing.Hats off to "Roger Glenwood”!

I recently stumbled upon this fascinating book about the intricacies of persuasion and manipulation, and wow, what an eye-opener! It was recommended by a friend who couldn't stop talking about how impactful it was, so naturally, I had to check it out. The insights into how we can be influenced by others are both enlightening and a little unsettling.What I really appreciated was how the book breaks down complex concepts into relatable examples, making it easy to digest. It sparked some lively discussions among my friends who also picked it up after hearing me rave about it. We all found ourselves sharing stories of how we've witnessed these tactics in our everyday lives, which really brought us closer.The buzz around this book is real; it's making the rounds in our social circles, and I love being part of this conversation.

Very good insight
