The Invisible War: How Manipulators Think, to Spot Them in Seconds, and Make Yourself Psychologically Untouchable

"You didn't imagine it. You weren't too sensitive. You were being played." Whether it was a partner who made you doubt your own memory, a boss who took credit for your work and gave you blame, or a family member who kept you permanently off-balance - you've been in the presence of someone who operates by a different set of rules. Rules they never told you about. The Invisible War is the field guide they hope you never read. Grounded in decades of research across social psychology, forensic psychiatry, and cognitive neuroscience - and written with the propulsive, cinematic clarity of a thriller - this book gives you something most psychology books never deliver: not just an explanation of what was done to you, but a playbook for stopping it in real time.
