Understanding  and dealing with  manipulative  people
​NEW Spanish Edition

Dr. George Simon knows how people push your buttons. Your children—especially teens—are expert at it, as is your mate. A co-worker may quietly undermine your efforts while professing to be helpful, or your boss may prey on your weaknesses. Manipulative people have two goals: to win and to look good doing it. Often those they abuse are only vaguely aware of what is happening to them. In this eye-opening book, you’ll discover:
• 4 reasons why victims have a hard time leaving abusive relationships
• Power tactics manipulators use to push their own agendas and justify their behavior
​• Ways to redefine the rules of engagement between you and an abuser
• How to spot potential weaknesses in your character that can set you up for manipulation
• 12 tools for personal empowerment to help you maintain greater strength in all relationships

”Thank you for your book, In Sheep’s Clothing. My husband and I saw several counselors to help us through the problems we were having with my mother-in-law who is immature and manipulative. The counselors spent most of their time trying to get me [to accept her], instead of teaching me [as only your book did] ways to cope with her manipulation.”
