I know this might sound a bit creepy, but I kinda enjoy "The Dark Psychology and Manipulation" by Margaret Morrison. Exploring the realms of human psychology, particularly focusing on the darker aspects that influence behavior and interpersonal dynamics.
You probably know the famous book called "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene, well this is like the pocket version of it dan lebih ditone-down karena memakai perspective psikologi.
Despite the controversial, both book can be educational, especially for learning defense mechanism for some kind of negative behavior such as manipulation. There's tuns of practical approach that can be handy for our daily social life.
Overall, "The Dark Psychology and Manipulation" is a valuable resource for those looking to protect themselves from manipulation (or leaning manipulation 😝) and understand the psychological underpinnings of such tactics. It serves as both a warning and a guide, urging readers to stay vigilant and informed in their interactions with others.
