Manipulation.

How to Spot Manipulation (And Why You Do It Too)

Do you know when you’re being played? The research says... probably not. Manipulation is part of being human. We all do it, we all fall for it, and sometimes, the smarter you are, the easier you are to con. So if you want to protect yourself and make sure you’re not the easiest target in the room, start here. In this episode, Drew and I break down why the same tricks work on all of us, the one test that shows when persuasion crosses into manipulation, and the simple habits that make you harder to fool. We also spend a good chunk of time on the manipulator you know best (or least) yourself. You’ll never fully escape influence, and you might not want to. But at least you’ll see it coming.
