Finally you can access the power of personal influence The fascination with dark psychology, the study of the art and science behind manipulation and mind control, has exploded since this clinical research term first appeared in academic journals back in 2004.

In The invisible Authority, listeners will be taken into the minds, the behaviors, the tactics, and the techniques of the narcissists, machiavellians, psychopaths, and everyday sadists living and working among us. You’ve worked with some of these people, you’ve worked for them, you’ve dated them, married them, divorced them, admired them, feared them, but most of all wondered what it is that makes them do the dark and disturbing things they do.

Whether it’s your sister going through one relationship after another with an abusive, controlling, manipulative boyfriend, first husband, fiancée; or it’s your own experience of having to work for an egotistical, scheming, backstabbing, yet somehow wonderfully charismatic supervisor; or it’s your neighbor’s teenage son who seems to enjoy burning ants in the backyard on the weekends how dangerous are these people?

Not all of them are crazy. Some of them are even wildly successful - in business, in romance, in general.

Are they certifiable or is their behavior just a little more extreme than mine?

As the field of dark psychology continues to grow, and researchers, clinical psychologist, social engineers, therapists, and other experts (and survivors) continue to find out more about what makes these people tick, you’ll find analyses of the latest studies in dark psychology.

Plus, the book gives listeners quick and easy breakdowns of how each dark personality is different from the other, and how they are similar.
