About this listen
A Self-Guide to Take Control of Your Life and Emotional Freedom (The Blokehead Success Series)
Do you know someone who makes you feel weak but in a bad way? Are you avoiding some people because they'll ruin your day if you come across them? Is your life falling apart ever since you began a relationship with someone "unique"? Chances are you have crossed paths with real-life vampirism. We know that vampires, aka undead bloodsuckers, are the stuff of fiction, but there are genuine depleters of vitality of whom you should beware. These dangerous creatures are none other than the emotional vampires. Emotional vampires are people who suck your personal energy. They do that by brainwashing you into becoming dependent on them, weakening you so you become defenseless against their assaults, and pulling the wool over your eyes so you won't realize you're being victimized. Why do they do this?

Narcissists are seemingly irresistibly charming people. They fill you with love and attention until you fall in love, and then they trap you in their darkness.

This is the right book that can help you take back your life.

People manipulate all the time, even when they don’t realize it. But the trick is to notice it when it’s happening. There are some common myths about it, though, so we’ll debunk those first in this book. Next, we’ll go into the best ways to spot manipulators, how to outsmart them, and how to see through the hidden signs of aggression. Other topics like neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and social media manipulation will be addressed, too.

As part of human psychology, everyone manipulates a little bit. But some do it on purpose, and some do it a lot. And the way we do it, and the reasons we do it for, matter. Did you know most people lie every day? Did you know that some people have become masters and making other people do what they want them to do? If you want to see through all that, take off your pink glasses and step into the world of dark psychology.

While some will naturally possess the skills that are needed to persuade and control the minds of others, many people don’t.

This book takes us on a journey into our deepest, most elusive selves and arms us with a set of tools to understand our characters properly.

Yet in these increasingly stressful times, all of us have acted in anger - and often wished we hadn't. Is there a way that really works to solve problems and assert ourselves without being angry?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 54
In Ancient Greece, when the philosopher Socrates was asked to sum up what all philosophical commandments could be reduced to, he replied: "Know yourself". Self-knowledge matters so much because it is only on the basis of an accurate sense of who we are that we can make reliable decisions - particularly around love and work. This book takes us on a journey into our deepest, most elusive selves and arms us with a set of tools to understand our characters properly.

In Rewire, renowned psychotherapist Richard O’Connor, PhD, reveals why our bad habits die so hard. We have two brains - one a thoughtful, conscious, deliberative self, and the other an automatic self that does most of the work without our attention.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Avoidance is not really a solution
Not really sure as to the author's credentials, or identity even for that matter. Most issues are "resolved" in the book by avoiding the situation, place or person causing the issue. In practice this frequently is not possible.
Very dubious advice. Pass on this book.
