The energy trap

THE ENERGY TRAP exposes the hidden psychology of manipulation in workplaces, organizations, friendships, and everyday relationships.

Some people provoke you until you react—then use your reaction against you. Others approach you as friends, extract your private thoughts, carry information back to those in power, and quietly turn your own words into weapons.

This book reveals the patterns behind provocation, emotional manipulation, triangulation, information gathering, “flying monkeys,” and energy-draining relationships—and, more importantly, teaches you how to stop feeding them.

You will learn how to recognize the trap, control your reactions, protect your information, establish boundaries, document strategically, and remain calm when others are trying to pull you into their game.

You don't have to defeat manipulators. You have to become difficult to manipulate.
