Energy vampires exist all around us, and some of them might be less apparent than others. Taking the form of family members, close friends, and trusted coworkers, these people can effectively hide their true form and fool you into maintaining them in your life. However, just like those ever-popular Hollywood vampires, real-life energy vampires can only enter if you invite them in. If you can figure out how to spot them in your life, you can cut them out, shut the door, and limit your interactions with them so that you won’t have to suffer their toxicity.

Story
The foundations of the study of dark psychology are not modern. The models of classical comedy and tragedy during the height of the Greek Empire illustrate an understanding of this uniquely human capacity even during ancient times. The comedies and tragedies of ancient Greek theater were used as a means for society to experience catharsis - a collective exercise in which social bonding occurred by the creation and release of social tensions as a means of resolving societal conflicts.

An interesting listen
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
For the most part, I really enjoyed this book. Nothing in it was terribly new to me, but that probably comes from being raised in an extremely manipulative (and toxic) family. That said, a lot of what the author speaks about resonated with me. The narration was also done well. If you come from a more "normal" upbringing, there is a lot of useful information here.

First half great-second half not so much
The explanations and tactics a manipulator uses was very helpful but the second half was just a repeat and only ever spoke if romantic situations. What about when a coworker manipulates the boss against you or others? What if the manipulator is a close relative? Much harder in many ways

A Real Eye Opener
While I listened I started to recognize all the people in my life that have manipulated me. I saw how I wouldn't recognize it before and would let it happen time after time. Now armed with defence strategies and defence I can confront them head on. I can now have stronger relationships and feel better about myself.

MENtal MANipulation
Many examples of manipulation. Some obvious, others made me do a, wait a second, that makes sense. I found many useful suggestions. In this audiobook you will learn how to recognize and combat those mind games. I must admit, Joe Wosik did a fantastic narration. He had sarcasm in just the right places. I could listen to his voice for hours. Oh wait I did! I was given this audiobook in exchange for my honest review. Audiobook Boom is a great place to find new talent. Thank you!
