French edition: Déjouer les pièges de la mauvaise foi et de la manipulation, with Pierre Agnèse
Written with my long-time partner Pierre Agnèse, this book is one of my most joyful experiences of writing as a duo. From the Beatles to Star Wars, we explored every form of manipulation and mind games. Manipulators are skilful. To stop falling into their traps, you need to decode their tricks and find the right response.
That is what this book offers: the keys to understanding what is going on and a method to react, a method of self-defence. It shows how to break down the mechanisms of small and large manipulations in everyday life, whoever you are dealing with and whatever their status (partner, boss, friend…), and how to counter them with confidence.
With many examples and dialogues, typical portraits of manipulators and the foundations of positive communication (the one you seek) and negative communication (the one you avoid), this book helps you protect yourself from the unhealthy games of manipulation and bad faith, and stay in the sphere of healthy, happy and constructive relationships.
