Mind Games: Mastering the Psychology of Influence & Manipulation

by Ramadi

Step onto the hidden battlefield of the mind. Mind Games is a practical, ethically grounded guide to spotting, neutralizing, and (when appropriate) responsibly using psychological influence. You’ll learn how fear, guilt, praise, silence, ambiguity, “choices,” and identity-framing are engineered—and how to take back control without drama.

What you’ll learn

• The core rulebook manipulators follow (and how to break the spell).

• Emotional triggers—fear, guilt, shame, approval—and how they’re exploited.

• Silent tactics: weaponized pauses, body language, and deniable threats.

• The “illusion of choice,” framing, and ownership—how decisions are steered.

• Emotional debt, invisible contracts, and dependency cycles—how to step out.

• Long-term influence: identity rewriting, guilt prevention, and ethical leadership.

Who it’s for

Leaders, creators, entrepreneurs, negotiators, therapists/coaches—and anyone ready to build stronger boundaries, communicate with clarity, and lead with integrity.

Inside the book

10 tight chapters + conclusion, packed with real-world scenarios, deconstructions, and counter-moves. 

Why it matters

Once you see the strings, you stop being pulled by them. This book gives you language, lenses, and moves you can use the same day—at work, in relationships, and in negotiations—so you can influence ethically and protect yourself from those who don’t.

Ethical note

This book is for awareness, defence, and principled influence. Use the tools to create consent, clarity, and respect—not control.
