Who's Pulling Your Strings?: How to Break the Cycle of Manipulation and Regain Control of Your Life by Harriet Braiker
Based on sound psychological theory and research, but written in accessible lay language, this guide teaches readers to take direct action steps that will free them from the yoke of manipulation. The book contains "how to" exercises and action plans. Readers will be taught to: understand and recognize the defining signs of a manipulative relationship; spot the personality characteristics of manipulators and their typical "MOs" in relationships; assess their own vulnerability to manipulation using simple self-administered quizzes; apply a simply "litmus test" to find out if they are currently ensnared in a manipulative relationship; understand the "hooks" of all manipulative relationships; and use resistance tactics that can break them free from the trap of manipulation.
