What is manipulation? How can you tell when you're being manipulated? And, be honest, do you ever manipulate others? Another important question is what's the difference between manipulation and persuasion? Some of us are so defensive these days that we're unable to even consider changing our minds because we think anybody with a different point of view is trying to manipulate us. It's a two-sided problem.
So let's go back to our first question and the point of today's club: What is manipulation? What are the different types of manipulation? How can you identify them and deal with them? How can you use them to your advantage? How is manipulation different from persuasion?
This will be an interesting club that dives into human psychology. We'll learn, we'll discuss, and we'll practise. Whatever you take from this club, please use your powers for good and not evil!
