In Influence to Manipulation: How Fools Unseat the Wise, Peter Ajuwon, PhD explores the hidden dynamics that shape loyalty, trust, and authority in every human system. With insight drawn from leadership psychology, strategic communication, and real world examples, this book reveals how manipulators quietly gain influence, why wise leaders often fail to see it early, and what it takes to build influence that is both strong and clean.
