A pretty mundane book. Bored me out of my mind. Sounds so much like a piece of propaganda literature, and even the grammar is incorrect at places.
The only reason I gave it two stars and not one, is because it made me learn two new things- The Dark Triad Test, and the Ponzi Scheme.
Just Google them, don't waste your time on this book.

The book primarily focuses on Dark Triad and a few manipulative techniques used by people on higher side of scale of Dark Triad. Author added examples from daily life which raises curosity of the reader and make it go through the book. Good for occasional readers. Don't expect much from the book, take it for light reading and introduction with the subject.

A very basic introduction on the topic. You are not going to find any SUPER ADVANCED TECHNIQUES in the book as the title suggests. It's written in very simple language devoid of jargon and can be completed in a couple of hours.

I just read about the triads in this book. It doesn't not look like a scientific book but it is good for knowing about dark psychology basics.
In many cases, the writer mentioned several research results without any reference. This makes this book and the content unbelievable in the all parts except definitions.

The book is about more or less a beginner's guide to dark psychology. There's not really that "Super Advanced Techniques" in the book. Had a hard time finishing it because it's not the kind of book I thought it would be.

I'm not even an expert in psychology and this book feels simple at best. If anyone's interested in some information, sure you'll find but it does not live up to it's name. Ironically the title of this book feels like a manipulative attempt to lure in people.

This is a short book on manipulation machiavlism psychopathism and manipolation of people. Manipulation can be torn from people with this book you'l learn to indicate it. Good examples is when u go to a doctor u see a wall of certificates with that you psychologic secure the person seeing it.

There was some interesting content. However, it suffers from a lack of a proofreader, or editor to catch all the grammar errors.

Just a brief description of the Personalities and the dark Triad.
I didn't find techniques but got to know how certain types of people act.

The book provides some decent information on manipulation techniques such as brainwashing, hypnosis and the likes. It also outlines some dark psychological profiles such as the Dark Triad and their manifestation.

What it is unable to do, however, is presenting practical preventative methods and adhering to customary grammatical rules.

I had no idea how this writing passed the editorial review.

Provocative and unsettling. An exploration of manipulation and influence that’s more eye-opening than comforting—read with caution and curiosity.
