Unlock the psychology of deceit, step into your power, and regain control of your life.

Whether it’s a manipulative boss, a controlling partner, or a toxic friend or roommate, chances are you’ve encountered mind games in your relationships. The 13 Power Moves of Dark Psychology will help you decode gaslighting and deception by reading body language, recognizing behaviour patterns, and understanding the methodology of individuals who employ dark psychology—or subtle techniques meant to manipulate and control you in harmful ways.

Bringing her expertise as a military interrogator and intelligence officer, author Lena Sisco teaches you the warning signs of manipulation and offers 13 proven strategies to help you protect yourself from narcissists, liars, cheaters, and outright sociopaths.

For anyone who wants to sharpen their instincts, especially those who are:

  • Navigating a new relationship, personal or professional, and need to know who to trust
  • Running a business and want to avoid being manipulated into bad decisions
  • Trying to recover from being scammed, lied to, or emotionally manipulated
  • Simply looking to protect themselves from those who take advantage

You don’t have to live in fear of being deceived. Armed with the right knowledge, you can avoid toxic people, reclaim your peace of mind, and ensure that your life is filled with healthy relationships.
