About this listen
How the dark side of human psychology can become your most powerful asset to successfully get what you want.
Is there someone you are really interested in but don’t know how to get them interested in you? Is there something you really want or need but can’t seem to convince others that it’s good for you? Does anyone in your life suffer from depression or anxiety and you don’t know how to help them? Are you a teacher who can’t get students to respect and listen to you? Have you been waiting 10 years for a promotion but it’s always someone else who gets it?
If you answer yes to any of those questions, then you’re probably looking for a way to take back control of your life and get people around you to respect you and give you the things you deserve.
Studies show that people who are good with words and can read other people’s emotions, needs, and vulnerabilities are more likely to get things done their way and live the life they’ve always wanted. That’s because those people have worked on their abilities to persuade and psychologically manipulate people around them with the most powerful mind-controlling techniques.
What if you realize that those skills are within your reach and that you can acquire them with the right knowledge and practice?
Just imagine and reflect on this: If you’ve felt stuck and misunderstood your whole life and then all of a sudden, you get the tools to make everything right again and enhance your wellbeing, wouldn’t you want to give it a try?
In Secrets of Covert Manipulation, you will discover:
- How to work on yourself to become more influential
- Sherlock Holmes’ strategy to truly understand the person you want to influence
- The most powerful techniques to emotionally manipulate others
- The number one crucial component of any manipulation strategy (hint: Most people overlook this one.)

Manipulation can come at you in many forms, from a colleague or a partner to someone you don’t know. We are often pressured into making social changes in our lives. There is nothing wrong with that if you are the one to make the decision for the sake of your own wellbeing. If, though, someone makes you do something that you don’t want to do, then it has become a form of bullying. It can be difficult to stand up to bullies, at any age.

Manipulation is not always a bad thing. Knowing that manipulation is happening is the first step towards ending it. By knowing the signs of manipulation, people can often stop it before it becomes a bad habit or a detrimental way of life. At the same time, understanding manipulation will help you to get better at it, if that is your goal.

Everyone will have their own methods of exerting control over other people. It will be dependent on the naturally powerful aspects they already have, along with the status that they hold in life. These tactics will become part of their personality and will be the way that they are naturally used to reacting to different situations. Remember to not let these signals cause paranoia. Doing something once does not mean they’re manipulative. Sometimes we might panic, and this could cause us to feel as though we need to do something quick to try and gain control over a situation.

Useful Skills, Not Manipulative Tricks
I grabbed this audiobook for a marketing position interview, expecting sleazy tactics, but I was pleasantly surprised. The "subliminal commands" title is misleading—this is mostly about understanding psychology and communication. The section on reading emotional cues has genuinely improved my relationship communication, helping me recognize when my partner needs space rather than support.
The Sherlock Holmes strategy for understanding others involved practical observation skills rather than manipulation. I've applied these techniques in client meetings to better identify clients' actual needs versus what they initially requested.
What the book calls "manipulation" is often just effective persuasion and emotional intelligence. The narrator's delivery was engaging without being overdramatic. If you want to improve your communication effectiveness rather than control others, there's valuable content beneath the somewhat sensationalized marketing.
