Dark Psychology: How Toxic Beliefs Are Instilled in Us and Whether We Can Protect Ourselves

Psychology is roughly divided into two categories: white and black. White psychology helps strengthen a person’s happiness and inner strength. Black psychology, on the contrary, destroys a personality for the benefit of those who use it. We encounter black psychology through cults, infobusiness gurus, bloggers, and pseudo-experts.

In her audiobook, Pavel Zygmantovich—a psychologist with 25 years of experience, a well-known popularizer of evidence-based psychology—examines 5 mechanisms of black psychology, through which other people, organizations, or mass media can manipulate us. To learn to distinguish real facts from hidden influences, the author invites you to study the world of psychological research and observe the work of a psychologist.

The book includes not only stories of people who have faced destructive mechanisms, but also exercises to strengthen psychological resilience against black psychology.

You will learn:

• how to recover after exposure to information poison;

• why you shouldn’t strive for the “perfect life” and search for your purpose;

• why an identity crisis is necessary and how to survive it without pain;

• how to achieve goals while avoiding frustration.
