If They Play Dirty, Use These 7 Counters | Machiavelli

If They Play Dirty, Use These 7 Counters | Machiavelli Manipulation does not work on the weak. It works on the decent. Every dirty tactic ever invented is a hijacked virtue: guilt only works on a man with a conscience, obligation only works on a man who pays his debts. They are not attacking your weaknesses. They are turning your standards into handles. This video gives you seven dirty tactics and the exact counter that kills each one, from the manufactured debt to the hardest of them all, the one that does not feel like manipulation because it feels like love. Then it turns the armory around and asks how many of the seven you have run on someone who trusted you. Built on Robert Cialdini's research on the six weapons of influence, and Machiavelli's rule for surviving a conspiracy. Chapters: 1 — The manufactured debt 2 — The reversal 3 — The moving finish line 4 — Manufactured urgency 5 — The invisible crowd 6 — Hot and cold 7 — Weaponized care The hand in the mirror Next in The Power Laws: the five signs a man will eventually cost you everything.
