I’m a psychology major and when I see new books about psych I tend to buy them for knowledge. I know anyone seeing this title must think wow this girl is fucked up for wanting to control people. I have no intention of doing so. I was curious as to how someone could label psychology ‘dark’. So I bought the book. Also the title of this book is super misleading. I’m giving it a low rating because it was everything you learn in psychology in any given class. Body language, how to talk in certain ways to people or family or kids or coworkers to ‘get what you want’, subliminal tactics, etc. This book will take those basics and make it seem like you’re doing something that people don’t already do as human beings. That is if you’re perceptive to humans. If not, then maybe you need this book. I didn’t like how a lot of times instead of just using your words, it would tell you to do things in a subliminal way to get someone to do something. Instead of just saying ‘can you bring home pizza for dinner please?!’ The good parts were: the history, being able to use this book for self help, adding more knowledge to the marketing aspect of psychology and the constant reminder about ethics and why you should and shouldn’t use this technique if you are malicious towards others. Also it helps if you’re in a manipulative relationship and being able to see the truth behind what you’re partner is doing to you. As well as avoiding narcissism/narcissists. But overall I wasn’t impressed. I also wasn’t happy with spending $40 on it and the lack of new knowledge. Just buy a basic psychology text book and you’ll get just as much out of understanding people and tactics.
Dark Psychology Mastery Secrets is a wide ranging introduction to the psychology of influence, persuasion, body language, and interpersonal communication. Structured as a three in one collection, it brings together concepts that encourage readers to think more critically about how people communicate, persuade, and sometimes manipulate one another.
One of the book's strengths is its broad scope. It explores topics such as nonverbal communication, behavioral patterns, persuasion, and recognizing manipulative tactics, giving readers an overview of how influence can operate in everyday interactions. The accessible writing style makes these subjects approachable for readers who are new to psychology and communication.
The discussions surrounding body language and behavioral observation encourage greater awareness of interpersonal dynamics. Rather than simply reacting to conversations, readers are invited to pay closer attention to context, consistency, and emotional cues when evaluating other people's intentions.
The sections devoted to recognizing manipulation are particularly valuable. They encourage readers to become more aware of unhealthy relationship patterns, emotional pressure, and deceptive behavior, helping foster stronger personal boundaries and more informed decision-making.
The box set also raises interesting questions about ethics, influence, and human behavior. While many of the persuasion concepts can be applied constructively in leadership, negotiation, communication, and relationship-building, the book also serves as a reminder that influence carries responsibility and should be exercised with integrity and respect for others.
Readers interested in psychology, communication, persuasion, body language, and human behavior will find this an engaging introduction that sparks curiosity and encourages further exploration of these fascinating subjects.
So this book wasn't really what I was expecting, it was more of a story/history of psych with a few basic psych tips here and there. Not much more than you learn in any general psych class or through life experiences really, however, it does provide some tips on avoiding/communicating with a narcissist and how not to be manipulated yourself, so this would be a solid read for anyone who hasn't taken basic psych classes. I can't give it a low rating just because it's not really geared for someone like me specifically. Overall I enjoyed it anyway.
Must be read multiple times to gain insight as to how the world around you deceives you without you unknowing. I traced my energy vampires through the techniques given in this book.
