How to Know if Someone (A Politician for Instance) Is Manipulating You - Part 2 of 3

High Impact Leaders

This is part two of a three part series on how to know if someone is manipulating you.
Last week, we talked about the first step in manipulation which is creating and emotional response.
So, as you listen to the rest of the series, set your emotion aside. I'll give a ton of different types of examples. Each of the examples that I give are situations where someone or a group of people were trying to at least influence you and in a lot of cases, trying to manipulate you.
So, in the instances where I deliver a piece of evidence and your blood starts to boil from anger, pause the recording. Or, from the opposite perspective, in situations where you totally agree with the example I give, pause the recording.
Ask yourself, "Why am I reacting this way?"
There is a good chance that the somewhere along the way, the people you are interacting with, the politicians that you are listening to, or the media where you get information has been using these techniques on you.
So, don't shoot the messenger. The goal of the series is to encourage you to see and hear the techniques while they are happening to you so you can make better decisions.
On this episode, I give you the co-conspirators -- so to speak -- in the con. Most of the time, for a con to work really well, multiple people will be pulling strings behind the scene to make it actually work. Usually, if you can figure out who the "other people" are, the con falls apart very quickly.
So enjoy the episode... And if you start to get angry as you listen, guys what? You are probably the mark.
