Game of Mind Manipulation: How to Outsmart a Manipulator and Handle the Different Types of Manipulative Mind Games

By Instafo and Edwin Piers

Win and Beat Manipulators at Their Own Games

A game can be defined as “an activity that has rules for winning and losing.” Contrarily, another definition of it is “to use those rules of an activity to get what you want, in a way that is dishonest.” Whether you want to admit it, you are already playing a game called “life,” and in it there are those who live by the latter definition - willing to cheat the game via manipulation.

What is manipulation? It’s the controlling of an individual through misleading means in order to get something that these manipulators want, whether money, power, relationship, or sex.

Many people are victims of others’ manipulative behaviors on a regular basis without realizing it, including you. Think about those people from your life ranging from families and friends to acquaintances and strangers you’ve met on the street. Were there ever times when you had a gut-wrenching feeling in your stomach that something was wrong, and it turned out to be they were manipulating you? How did it make you feel? Confused? Angry? Miserable?

Nobody likes being taken advantage of, but unfortunately it’s a part of human nature throughout history to want to assert control over others as survival of the fittest. Being ignorant to that will only continue to make you a victim. If you only knew the rules of the game and how to play it, you could have prevented the manipulation.

But now you can do something about it by fighting back and beating the manipulator at their own mind games with “Game of Mind Manipulation.” By taking a page out of their playbook, you’ll be guided on the following:

* Entrance inside the mind of master manipulator
* Patterns for predicting manipulator’s next move
* Subtle manipulations going on behind the scene
* Traits shared among most common manipulators
* Tactics to stop manipulator dead right in the track
* In-depth look into the most pervasive mind games
* Expert solutions for specific manipulative behaviors
* And much more!

Who said the game of life was going to be easy? While it may not always be ideal due to all the manipulative characters out there, it certainly can be beaten and won once you know all the right signs to look for and have the right strategies to maneuver. Either you play it to win it, or get played by it to lose it. The choice is yours. Make your first move now, and checkmate!
