Ever felt like you were slighted but couldn’t quite put your finger on it or know how to respond with strength and dignity?This book will teach you how to handle even the most difficult verbal attacks and insults with ease. Here are just some of the things you'll Subconscious Manipulators: You may have attracted your share of creeps and losers. Maybe you've got a friend or two who attracts the same gaslighters over and over. Maybe you've even read a couple of pop psychology books that explain it's due to early childhood experiences.
Non-Conscious Language: Most of our communication is non-verbal. This is why A-list actors get paid millions of dollars and those pretenders in Netflix B movies don't. It's not the words they are saying, it's how they say them. The non-verbal energy.
Fear Attracts Evil: If you fear insults from others, they will come. They will come just as regularly as muggers and pickpockets. This may be hard to accept, but whatever your deepest fears, you are projecting them. Just as powerfully as a black belt projects his physical competence.
Killer Inner Game Repels Outer Evil: The first thing you'll learn in this guide is how to build up an extremely strong inner state. This will only require some thinking practice. Thinking and mental focus techniques you can do in the safety of your own brain, and your own home.
Those old beliefs that have been holding you back? Their days are numbered. You will learn a very powerful and systematic technique that will obliterate them. One by one, hunt them, identify them, and assassinate them. Yours or anybody else's. And since few people even think about stuff like this, this means the more you practice these, the more of an advantage you'll have. Over everybody else. On Earth.
Surprisingly good nuggets to be gleaned. This is more a social survival guide and it comes across more as the author's experiential knowledge than a collection of peer reviewed
I enjoyed the Socratic and philosophical method of learning patterns of verbal defense . It isn't something that depicts what to say but rather the pattern in which it is said.
There’s a chapter on defending yourself from someone telling you that your pants are lame. There’s a lot of “Dude” and “Huh” in these insane situational conversations that no one in the history of life has ever found themselves actually facing. I did not enjoy this.
