I liked bundled books like this

The writer most definitely understands how to explain it perfectly. I didn't stop listening till completion. That's how much I liked it. I was delighted to hear the proper articulation of all the words by a competent audiobook narrator.

Interesting

The premise of this book is very interesting. If you add it all up, all the titles combined, then it's all about the little things people do to lie, steal, and cheat, but it's all about manipulation, making others do what you want them to do.

I guess this book goes pretty far, as far as human trafficking, sexual abuse, conspiracy theories, and cults. It's really dark a few times, but it's all narrated in a way that the information is comprehensible and makes sense. At least, that's my opinion of it. You can have your own. I'm not manipulating you into liking this book, if you know what I mean. Just adding my 5 stars to something that definitely took a lot of time, money, and effort, I suppose. So good job, Joshua, and great job, Oliver.

Nice compilation

There are actually way too many crappy books around, but this is not one of them. I understand I am certainly not the best of critique writers, but this deserves appreciation. The author and storyteller have certainly put so much energy and time into these audiobooks.

Fascinating stuff

I simply just intended to write something good about this audiobook. The pronunciation of the words in this particular audiobook was fantastic, as well as all the information contained in it. Based on that, I am really happy that I purchased the book. It was definitely worth my time.

A jewel of a book

This is a secret jewel. This guide contains valuable facts. Not only did this particular audiobook seem like it was high quality, but it also showed me essential aspects of life, and about this issue in particular, of course. So, it certainly deserves a few hard-earned stars.

Uhmm....

A 43 hour book? Wow. That's pretty amazing. Okay, so let me be honest here. I didn't finish the whole thing yet. But from what I've heard so far, it's pretty impressive. The narrator is nothing short of a pure professional. Check on my checklist. The author knows a lot about the topics in here.

Another thing I liked: It doesn't just repeat itself about manipulation. The author has really put together a bundle of topics that are all different, yet they still relate to manipulative practices. In that sense, it's good to have a wide variety of sub-topics about abuse, dark psychology, or simple, subtle influences people often overlook in their daily communications. Some of the tips were surprising, others common sense. But I cannot say anything bad about it so far. I've been enjoying it and will enjoy the rest of it for the rest of the week, or month... we'll see how fast I finish it.

Amazing

This is amazing. The length alone is worth it. But the contents were deep and far-ranging as well. Body language, abuse, trafficking, cults, manipulation.... this book has it all. Good stuff.
