Introduction - Dark Psychology

Psychology itself is a well-known and common concept in our society. We use psychology to help us in the various aspects of our lives, whether it be relationships, eating habits, or even picking the career that would best suit us. Understanding ourselves on the deepest possible level is what enables us to express ourselves and be true to what we believe in. But there's another side to psychology, one that addresses the traits that most people deem as immoral, and that side is known as dark psychology

With dark psychology, we are addressing the topics of influence, persuasion, and deception, to name a few. In using dark psychology to our advantage, we are essentially learning the art of manipulation. Everyone uses dark psychology at some point in their lives. Some people use it for their own benefit, while others may not even realize that their actions are considered a part of dark psychology. In either case, the end goal is the same: to achieve something for yourself by using other people to your advantage.

There are times when we can use dark psychology without harming the people we care about as we continue to climb towards success in both our personal and professional lives. This is, of course, the whole point of manipulation. Throughout this book, we will discuss the different ways that you can use dark psychological methods to create the advancements that you wish for in your life. We will also talk about body language in various forms of mind control.

Throughout the realm of dark psychology, there are interesting topics and techniques that are sure to open your eyes to the wonder of the mind. Let's start our journey into the darkness of how the mind works, and by the end of this book, you'll know everything you need to captivate people and become the leader you’ve dreamed of.

Chapter one

The Basics of Dark Psychology

At its core, dark psychology is a set of principles that people use in order to get what they want by taking advantage of others. This might not sound appealing at first, because no one wants to be used for someone else’s gain, these are methods that we all use every day without even realizing. We don't mean to use others or belittle them, but we've all done it. And the reason we continue to do it is because we know that it works. Learning the proper way to use dark psychology to your advantage so that you can gain the success you're looking for without any setbacks is exactly what we are after.

Let's begin with a quick look at the history of dark psychology.

History Behind Dark Psychology

Psychology in general has been studied formally for only a little over 100 years. Of course, the intricacies of the mind and the way we perceive everything from sensations to emotions have been analyzed for centuries. Psychology was once seen as a part of philosophy, which makes sense when we go back to the early times of philosophy with great thinkers such as Socrates and Aristotle. Their early models made us look at human nature in a different way, and it all came from how we perceive the world around us.

It wasn't until the middle of the 19th century that German scientists began to perform studies that involved both perception and sensation, proving that mental processes could be scientifically studied and measured. And in 1879, German philosopher and physiologist Wilhelm Wundt established the first laboratory specifically for psychology at Germany’s University of Leipzig. Wundt began studying the emotions, sensations, perceptions, and the associations that his patients had between their environment and their minds.

From here, the following decades carried new ideas and discoveries through both applied and basic psychology. During this time, we see the evolution of behavioral, evolutionary, developmental, social, and occupational psychology, to name a few. And through all of this, psychologists began to understand that different behaviors lead to a diverse array of personalities. The connection between the person's thoughts, the way they perceive the world around them, and the behaviors that came from those thoughts developed into a view of the human race that not only included classic psychological traits but also dark psychological ones.

Principles of Dark Psychology

There are various traits involved in dark psychology, and these are the behaviors and patterns that people use in order to take advantage of others and achieve success for themselves. These are principles that we all use to some degree as it is our human nature to want to excel and rise above the rest. Some of us realize we are doing this and we feel empathetic toward the person we may have hurt, and some of us perform these behaviors on purpose knowing that we must in order to achieve what we are after. Still yet, certain personalities, which we will discuss in a moment, may perform these behaviors and feel as though they are entirely acceptable whether someone is hurt in the process or not.

Persuasion

Persuasion is the simple act of persuading someone to do something. This means that you are actively encouraging them to perform behaviors or to say certain things that you wish for them, and not ones that they necessarily want for themselves. Persuasion is a powerful tool in dark psychology as we can appeal to the interests of the person we are persuading in order to get the outcome we wish.

Persuasion has its roots in early human history, and as we would expect, it was greatly studied during the era of Greek philosophy. As a result, there are three broad modes used when we are attempting persuasion.

Ethos is the method of trying to convince others that you hold credibility. This can be a challenge for some but using basic achievements such as education and socioeconomic status can add to your credibility. When people see us as credible,

Reviews for Dark Psychology & Manipulation

[Melis Özdemir · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I think it is a book that everyone should read. Especially the world we live in revolves around sales and marketing, someone is constantly trying to sell us something and they use our emotions very well while doing this. I am not arguing that this is a bad thing, of course, it is very beneficial to the transformational economy, but it is a fact that we will be upside down without this information when choosing products and services that will work for us or trying to sell a product and service ourselves.

[Sophie Bisset · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What I've most enjoyed learning from this book is the art of detecting lies; I now feel like I have a kind of superpower, which is amazing, because it's allowed me to expose people who wanted to lie to my face, which I don't tolerate

[angel_doll86 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed it. We all speak to ourselves to create our realities, and if you are not mentally strong enough, manipulators can take advantage of you by using persuasion and deception tactics.

[Kaydi · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It is a real manual to help us avoid being controlled by others. It teaches us how to use mind control and persuasion to convince others to do what we want. It clearly explains body language and allows us to understand the true intentions of those in front of us. It was very helpful and the explanations were very clear.
