The author says:
The Puppet Masters Playbook is a deep dive into the hidden psychology of manipulation and covert influence. From political speeches to advertising campaigns, and even in our most personal relationships, unseen tactics are constantly at work shaping how we think, feel, and act.
This book reveals those tactics, explains how they function, and most importantly, shows you how to defend against them. It’s both an exposé of dark psychology and a toolkit for resilience — a must-read for anyone who wants to move from being a pawn to becoming a player in the game of influence.
Five Facts
1.) It exposes manipulation everywhere. Readers often write to me saying they can’t “unsee” the tactics once they finish the book — it changes the way you read headlines, listen to speeches, or even talk to people at work.
2.) It’s practical, not just theory. The book includes a 7-day influence experiment that lets readers witness persuasion in action in their own daily lives.
3.) It blends psychology with real-world case studies. From con artists and cult leaders to negotiators and intelligence agencies, the examples are drawn from reality, not just the classroom.
4.) It comes with a warning. I tell readers upfront: the techniques are powerful. Use them responsibly.
5.) It’s written for clarity. I deliberately avoid heavy academic jargon. My goal is to make the psychology of influence accessible to anyone curious about how the world really works.
EXCERPT:
“The most powerful manipulators rarely force their targets to act. Instead, they create an environment where compliance feels like the natural choice. When you believe you’re making your own decision, resistance fades. That is the art of covert influence.”
