- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazingly good. That's what I think. I listened to this audiobook, and it was absolutely inspiring. I think the first several chapters were my favorite ones, since the entire idea that the subtitle refers to, is discussed. All the basics are there. Later on in the book, more depth gets added, and I believe this is what makes it so great.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The storyteller appears to be truly professional, and the writer knows a lot about the theme. The 5 stars ought to be 6 stars. Yes, that's right. You heard me. I feel it's so good that it should have 6 stars. I learned a lot simply by soaking everything up. The information was terrific, particularly if you already know a little about the theme. Actually, you could possibly understand nothing at all about it and still follow along easily.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am giving this book 5 stars because I genuinely loved it. Both the narrator and the writer put some real effort into this. This was well worth my time. Lastly, a book which gives you what you want. Another detail: The storyteller appeared to be so great that I would definitely listen to it again. Perhaps even more than just one time. I can't remember every single thing that's being stated in all these audiobooks, so it would be worth reminding myself of what was being said.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Both the storyteller and the writer put some legitimate effort into this. I acknowledged a great deal of the important things the author was talking about. Some things reviewed my head, but that's regular for any book that has been written by a genius. I almost missed this audiobook, but I am actually happy that I noticed it anyway. It makes a lot of sense what the author says, particularly in the last handful of chapters, where the subject turns into a conclusion.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was fascinated by this particular topic, so I bought this book. The best parts of this book (I forgot which chapters) suggested the most to me. When I heard these things, I instantly understood I had made the right choice. This book spoke with me. In my eyes, it was just one of those books you can not avoid. You should not dismiss it, because it is one of the best available. I may become repetitive here, but that's just how I think about it.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is a brief introduction to manipulation. very superficial.
I chose this one because of the "good" reviews that turn out to be fake reviews ...
Find another book that goes more in depth that also uses practical examples. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is actually a very good book. This audiobook blew my mind, both the content and the narrator's presentation. In my opinion, it was just one of those audio books you can not really avoid. You should not overlook it, since it is one of the best on the market. I may become repetitious here, but that's just how I think of it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Man! Get this audio book! I am not joking! It's awesome! I am trying to mention something negative about this audio book, but I can't. It's simply too good. So without more exaggeration, I simply believe everyone should think of listening to it. I recognized a lot of the things the writer was discussing. Some things went over my head, but that's regular for any book that has been composed by a genius.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hi there, I just intended to publish a couple of phrases of recommendation. I've noticed that certain books are practically trash, and this grieves me. But this audiobook did not follow that pattern. It's actually really good. So, I love it. In my opinion, it was quite perfect. There may perhaps have been a few hardly noticeable mistakes in there, but they didn't trouble me. When you are able to listen to a storyteller who is that good, and about a theme that you're interested in, you don't care about the other parts. That's the end of the that.
