Wouldn’t you eventually find a starting point? Indeed, you would. The Tangled Mind argues that a small group of primitive concepts fueled your knowledge of the world.

Story
When it comes to persuasion, success can begin before you say a word. In his global best seller Influence, Professor Robert Cialdini transformed the way we think about persuasion. Now he offers revelatory new insights into the art of winning people over: it isn’t just what we say or how we say it that counts but also what goes on in the moments before we speak. This is the world of ‘pre-suasion’, where subtle turns of phrase, seemingly insignificant visual cues and apparently unimportant details of location can prime people to say yes even before they are asked.

Dark psychology can be seen as the study of the human condition, in relation to the psychological nature of the different kinds of people who prey on others. The fact is that every single human being has the potential to victimize other people or other living creatures. However, due to social norms, the human conscience, and other factors, most humans tend to restrain their dark urges and to keep themselves from acting on every impulse that they have.

Publisher's Summary
Using principles from cognitive psychology, Nick Kolenda developed a unique way to subconsciously influence people's thoughts. He developed a "mind reading" stage show depicting that phenomenon, and his demonstrations have been seen by over a million people across the globe.
Methods of Persuasion reveals that secret for the first time. You'll learn how to use those principles to influence people's thoughts in your own life.
Drawing from academic research in psychology, the entire book culminates a powerful 7-step persuasion process that follows the acronym, METHODS:
- Step 1: Mold Their Perception
- Step 2: Elicit Congruent Attitudes
- Step 3: Trigger Social Pressure
- Step 4: Habituate Your Message
- Step 5: Optimize Your Message
- Step 6: Drive Their Momentum
- Step 7: Sustain Their Compliance
This book teaches you the psychology behind each step. You'll learn how to apply METHODS to your own life so that you can influence people's thoughts, emotions, and behavior in nearly any situation.

Very good
Very informative read into psychology, persuasion, and behavioral sciences. I am a long time student of behavioral economics and this book tied in not only some areas of study that I have already encountered (even from one of my lecturers) but other principles that I may not have thought to relate back. It's inspired me to continue my research and perhaps even write something myself.

Read this book first!!
Cognitive science is my passion and hobby. I’ve read all of Cialdinis works, thinking fast and slow (kahneman), multiple “Great Courses” on the subject, Malcom gladwell, and many others. While I can honestly say that I didn’t learn anything new, Nick has done an amazing job condensing all the facts down with incisive brevity. It is not drawn out like most of the other books. If you are new to this topic, Start With This Book first!

Possibly the BEST book on this topic...
This book made all of my years of study on human behavior make sense and then opened me up to much more than I anticipated. Nick’s experience as a magician and hypnotist made his information practical and real. It was like a PhD proving his work with an MD. There were several life changing insights that instantly affected my business, life and marketing and I intend to listen and read this book over again. I already purchased the paperback and started going through it. P.S. This is my first audible review. I’ve never felt so compelled to write a review. This book is amazing.
