Machiavellians: Gulling the Rubes
Listing Details
Machiavellians, better known as "master manipulators," get little attention compared to narcissists and psychopaths. But on any given day, you're more likely to encounter a Machiavellian than the other two. Conniving, deceitful,and amoral, they regard you and me as rubes ripe for exploitation. If we happen to fall victim to their schemes, then we deserved it as far as they're concerned.Machiavellians: Gulling the Rubes explores the psychology of these destructive individuals, explains how to recognize them, and reveals tactics for beating them at their own game. The author introduces for the first time the Mach-20 test of Machiavellianism, which anyone can take and score. And he reveals the secrets of "MADAR" -- Machiavellian Advance Detection and Resistance -- that can help you outwit them and protect yourself.
