”Thank you for your book, In Sheep’s Clothing. My husband and I saw several counselors to help us through the problems we were having with my mother-in-law who is immature and manipulative. The counselors spent most of their time trying to get me [to accept her], instead of teaching me [as only your book did] ways to cope with her manipulation.”“I've not read a more eye opening book. It hits the problem nail right on the head. If you suspect someone is manipulating you, please read this most valuable book. It will truly pull the wool off of your eyes.”Dr. George Simon knows how people push your buttons. Your children--especially teens--are expert at it, as is your mate. A co-worker may quietly undermine your efforts while professing to be helpful, or your boss may prey on your weaknesses. Manipulative people have two goals: to win and to look good doing it. Often those they abuse are only vaguely aware of what is happening to them. In this eye-opening book, you'll also discover...* 4 reasons why victims have a hard time leaving abusive relationships* Power tactics manipulators use to push their own agendas and justify their behavior*Ways to redefine the rules of engagement between you and an abuser* How to spot potential weaknesses in your character that can set you up for manipulation.* 12 tools for personal empowerment to help you maintain greater strength in all relationships

Manipulation Deconstructed I'm fascinated by psychology, and why people do what they do. The book explores the interesting concept of the "covertly aggressive" individual, someone who uses subtly manipulative tactics to further his own agendas, while still preserving the image of a good person ("impression management") and effectively concealing his true intentions. These tactics are insidious, and particularly confusing to conscientious people, who often fall prey to these underhanded individuals with less-than-stellar motives. The two most valuable insights that I gained from the book are the reminder to be aware that not all people operate from a place of personal integrity, and that over-intellectualizing why people do what they do, is counterproductive. It's more important to recognize manipulation when it occurs, confront it in the moment and self-protect. In all of the examples presented, the manipulation "victims" knew something was wrong, but failed to trust their own initial intuitions and perceptions. I do believe that most people are predominantly good, but also recognize that there are others who exist solely to advance themselves at any expense to others. This is perhaps the hardest thing to learn. It is easier to excuse bad behavior than stand up to it, but freedom exists in being aware and assertive. This book is a good starting point of reference for anyone interested in psychology and human behavior. It is informative and instructive, though other books in the same genre may offer more in-depth material. Typographical errors detracted from the content.Don’t be so quick to second guess yourself. It explains just how I was feeling. A doctor recommended this book. I needed to really understand how people take advantage of me. This book has answered all my questions. I will be discussing this book with my pastor. Not everyone fights fair. When they can no longer control you then they try to control what others think of you.Evil Has New Name - "Covert-Aggressive" This book should be required reading. For everyone. Period.I had no idea that there was such a personality known as "covert-aggressive" but now that I DO know, I realize just how many times in my life I've been raked over the coals by these types, most times leaving my head spinning in shock that it happened, yet again.I never "got it" until I read this book.I've always been considered a "nice" person. Sometimes maybe TOO nice. And with this perception often comes "confusing kindness with weakness."Covert-aggressives cash in on this full-throttle. They're sneaky, conniving, smart, and ALWAYS watching you to decide which move they'll make to get what they want, in the same way a cat watches a mouse: quietly. Cats never come right out and pounce on their prey; there's always the "lead up" time where they just take it all in and STUDY their victims. This is PRECISELY what covert-aggressives do for a living with flattery, baby-talk, no conscience, no accountability, "poor me" and "I had no idea" all rolled into one hugely dysfunctional (and damaging - to YOU) burrito.THIS is the new "evil." Pay attention - they're everywhere.So, read this book and find out what to look for IMMEDIATELY.
