Dark Psychology: Rewire your mind Workbook
Introduction
Every time dark psychology comes up, we always think of mind control, persuasion, and manipulation. Generally speaking, we tend to believe that some evil art is practiced for the sake of advancing some malicious agenda. Other times, most individuals believe that we are talking about some type of magic spells that are cast on the minds of people.
The fact of the matter that dark psychology derives its name from the fact that it deals with the ways in which individuals, organizations and even governments can use mental triggers to sway peoples opinions one way or another.
For instance, governments tend to highly publicize their achievements in order to convince voters that they are doing a good job. This is quite common when incumbents are up to for reelection or are looking to further their foothold.
Skeptics like to point out how religions and advertisers use dark psychology, through mental manipulation, to essentially brainwash people to go along with their agendas. The fact is that brainwashing as is generally portrayed in Hollywood films that quite work that way. That is, when you think about manipulation, it isnt about a group of thugs beating people and force-feeding them content so that victims and easily controllable.
In reality, mental manipulation is a very subtle art. When done properly, subjects dont even know they are being manipulated. As a matter of fact, they are perfectly happy to go along with the manipulators agenda.
Consider this example: Advertisers often use scare tactics to persuade you to purchase an item. They will generally present you with a problem, which is usually life-altering (though it generally isnt), and then with a solution. The solution is the product or service which they sell. Then, they load up on the consequences that come with not acquiring their solution. So, if you dont buy their product, you will suffer grave consequences.
A common example is health. A great deal of products in the health industry are aimed at weight loss. So, advertisers claim that if you are overweight you are prone to any number of health risks. While the science backs that up, they blow those claims out of proportion. This leads folks to begin to question their health. Then, the advertiser will present their product as the ultimate weight-loss solution. Finally, you will be a healthy individual because you have lost weight thanks to their product.
While all of that may actually be true, some advertisers go over the top by including bogus science, false testimonials and actors posing as doctors. Some of the more gullible viewers fall for the advertising and purchase the product(s). The products ultimate effectiveness is then up to the users own experience.
In this book, we will be taking a look at how you can learn how dark psychology works so that you can not only recognize when such techniques are being used on you, but how you can read people as well. This will help you vastly improve your personal relationships while helping you get ahead in all facets of your life. So, whether you are brand new to this subject or whether you have learned about it in the past, this volume will certainly provide you with fresh insights and perspective on how dark psychology is used in everyday life.

Chapter 1: What Is Mental Manipulation
The term mental manipulation is often thrown around on social media and in mainstream communications. In fact, it is quite common to hear this expression used in reference to large public events, political campaigning and advertising. The fact of the matter is that most folks have a general understanding of what it refers to but may not be clear on the specific of what this term encompasses.
In short, mental manipulation is controlling and twisting a person's state of mind to make them want to do what you want to be done. A manipulator influences the will of others through the use deception or underhand techniques.
As such, manipulation implies a degree of force upon targets, that is, the manipulator will try their best to force their targets to do what they will, especially if the targets do not wish to comply.
Now, I am not talking about kidnapping folks and brainwashing them like it is done in the movies. I am talking about subtle techniques and strategies which are used to get others to go along without them actually realizing they are being manipulated.
As a matter of fact, the best manipulators make it seem like people are doing things of their own accord rather than acting upon the provocation of some external force. Nevertheless, there is a degree of forces that goes along with manipulation. For example, television stations will force you to watch their programming and advertising in order to get you to purchase the products and services of their sponsors.
However, the coercion shown in this case is quite simple to get around: you can just change the channel. Yet, programming and advertising is designed in such a way that you wont want to change channel.
Other types of manipulation can be a lot more overt. For instance, political parties and candidates will promote themselves by littering their campaigns with calls to action such as vote for the best candidate or vote for so-and-so if you value your childrens future. These calls to action are blatant attempts at swaying voters opinions.
That is why the first part of this book is dedicated to understanding and identifying manipulation as it is commonly practiced. I am not talking about some dark cabal that is trying to secretly rule the world through controlling the minds of every single human on this planet. In fact, I am referring to the ways in which trained individuals will attempt to influence your opinion to get you to go along with their agenda.
