When a person reaches a high level of wealth and influence, dishonest people around them may try to use their position and resources for personal gain and career growth. The book explores the weak spots of wealthy individuals that manipulators can exploit, and also reveals the behavior of these manipulators: their motivation and methods. Readers will learn strategies for dealing with manipulators, how to recognize potential threats to business and personal life, and how consciousness and the subconscious work to avoid mistakes and better understand motivations. The publication includes practical experience in business and management, techniques of “combat” NLP, and the basic concepts of human motivation from a psychological perspective, including the behavior of sociopaths who act without moral constraints. The methods will help you predict actions and make decisions in business and personal life. The book is intended for executives and company owners, as well as for anyone interested in manipulation and protection from it. A PDF file is included for a fuller understanding of the material.
