Skryté formy manipulace - Jak se jim bránit – Šejnov V. P. (2026)

This highly detailed book examines how people influence one another and how manipulation can take place between them, while distinguishing between several forms: crude and subtle manipulation, selfishly motivated manipulation, and positive attempts to influence someone discreetly, such as helping them overcome laziness or particular bad habits or improve their performance at work and other important life skills. Its aim is to show how deeply hidden influence and manipulation have entered modern life and to offer practical ways of resisting this threat. It also provides numerous suggestions for persuading people to do what we want, whether in the family, at work or in friendship, such as doing something for us or lending us money. Readers learn to recognize what type of person they are dealing with and how to respond and influence them accordingly. The book also offers tips for developing personal attractiveness, since an effective manipulator must possess certain qualities. Clearly structured and engagingly written, it illustrates its explanations, descriptions of communication and behavior, and the various factors involved in manipulation with examples from life and anecdotes that are often amusing. The book is in Czech.
