Page 26 - How To Analyze People: 13 Laws About the Manipulation of the Human Mind, 7 Strategies to Quickly Figure Out Body Language, Dive into Dark Psychology and Persuasion for Making People Do What You Want

These three key points are doing to be the deciding factor as to whether

you’re attempting to manipulate or persuade. When your manipulation,

your intention you're selfish. When you persuade, it’s usually well-meaning

for the good of the other person. When you manipulate, you lie, deceive and

try to hide what’s really going on. When you persuade, you’re able, to be

honest and upfront about what you’re trying to do, because you have no
reason to hide if it isn’t done for personal gain. When you manipulate, there

is no positive impact or benefit on the other party, only yourself. When you

persuade, the other party you’re trying to influence is the one who reaps the

most benefit out of the situation. Non-profit organizations resort of

persuasion all the time, trying to get others to act and change for the better
to create a positive impact on the world. They persuade donors, raise the

necessary funding and try to promote awareness among others regarding

important issues which need to be addressed or changed.

Manipulation and Evidence of These Laws in Our Daily Routine
Manipulators are the puppet masters who sit behind the scenes pulling the

strings, playing mind games so subtle and persuading you to do their dirty

work for them. When you find yourself in a problem and you don’t know

how it happened, the manipulator could have had something to do with it.

The evidence of manipulation is more apparent in a work environment
because this is where you spend most of your time, Monday to Friday,

coming into contact with all sorts of individuals. A few signs to watch out

for that signal you could have a manipulator in your midst include any of

the following:

Too much flattery to a point it seems insincere.
Showering you with superficial charm.

False sympathy.
