Description

Take control of your life and of the people in your way - a scathingly satirical parody of business and career self-help books.

Can you be manipulative or reckless? Do you occasionally experience a lack of guilt or empathy? Can you be impulsive, lack responsibility, and feel a need for excitement? Well, these traits are the hallmarks of the sociopath inside you, and it's time to embrace it! The time to unleash your inner sociopath has never been more right - just look at today's world leaders and most popular personalities.

Shoot up the promotional ladder and become the predator at the top of the corporate food chain with Tips for the Dark Art of Manipulation. Find the perfect job for the sociopath in you, fabricate your resume to perfection, and manufacture the perfect first impression to ace those interviews. Prey on the biases and manipulate the psychology of your coworkers to break them down. Engineer conflict, manipulate the flow of attention, and seize power for yourself. Play the office party to perfection. Learn how to fake naturalness, make the right allies, and take down your enemies. And take it all the way to the bank.

A scathing, tongue-in-cheek take on the self-help industry, and our world today, featuring cameos by Dostoyevsky, Plato, Robert Greene, Malcolm Gladwell, and many others, Tips for the Dark Art of Manipulation is the practical satire we need.

'There is nothing remotely funny about psychopathy, but P. T. Elliott utilizes deft humour to help us seize upon the greater cause of exposing these dangerous people and removing them from positions of power. This is a cathartic and essential piece of writing.' - Richard Kelly, writer/director of Donnie Darko and Southland Tales

'Hilarious, pitch-black satire. An exquisitely researched, deliciously subversive antidote to every worthless self-help book ever published, Tips for the Dark Art of Manipulation will channel YOUR inner Donald J. Trump to WIN, WIN, WIN!' - John A. Wooden, creator of whitehouse.org
