Master Manipulation Lawyers' Style

Imagine learning 110 ways to get your way in every way every day. This is possible with this detailed, example filled book that seems to have a bit of an obsession with the O.J. Simpson trial. Imagine also realizing that people have done these things to you like I did. Do you need to know how lawyers do what they do? Can't hurt. Look at all the lawyers there are out there. Look at all of them that get into politics so that more laws can be made so that lawyers can always have new ways to make more money. Most important, does this deportment tedium translate to everyday life and business and personal relationships? Depends on your feelings about manipulation, who you want to manipulate and who you don't think it is right to manipulate. And, while I understand how difficult it is to embrace brevity, the book is 200 pages tops spread out over 380 pages. That being said, the checklist of the 110 techniques beginning on page 365 is wonderful and useful and could have been made much more user-friendly if pages were put next to each step. Because I was curious and driven by the powerful possibilities, I slogged my way through the book. It is a tedius read in small, light type. If I were smarter when I began reading the book and saw the lay of the land, I would have used the Technique Summary on Page 365 more intelligently. For example, the First Step section includes trustworthiness,positive focus, cleanliness, grooming, accessorizing and fitness and being dedicated and committed. I already do these things, so I can skip seven of the 14 techniques and concentrate on what I need to learn or do better.

Great Book

This is a great book. It gets right to the point and shows you how to get your way in a step by step method, that is time tested and true. It is also an easily read book. If you ever need to learn manipulation this is the best place to find out how.

"Get Your Way"

I read "Get Your Way" over a year ago and have read it 3 more times since. Every time I read it I get something new I can use. This book is easy to understand and follow. It is practical yet has a sense of humor. It has made me see that the goals I have are within reach and gives me tools to reach them. I highly recommend it for people who want to make a difference in their lives. Thank you, Dr. Nelson
