If you want to learn how to manipulate other people, then this article is for you. And even if you do not want to learn how to manipulate other people, then this article is for you too. I would even say that if you don't like manipulation, because you think it's not the right thing to do, it's even more important to read this article right now, because you need to learn to protect yourself against it. So let's get started.

Before we talk about how to manipulate other people, I just want you to look at communication in general. Think about it. What is communication? Is it people talking with each other? Is it people exchanging ideas? Is communication about making other people feel good?

No. Communication is about changing things. Effective communication always leads to action. Ineffective communication never leads to action. That action can be a real physical action or it can be a mental action. For example, if you talk to somebody who does not believe that there is a solution for his problem, and after you finish talking with them, that person believes that there actually might be a solution to his problem, then that is a mental action. You just changed the belief of that person. Now this change in belief will probably lead to an actual physical action that that person will do. So it doesn't matter if the action happens immediately or if the action happens after an extended period of time. What is important is that in effective communication in the first step there is communication causes a change in thinking that causes a real physical action.

That means, if you want to communicate effectively, and you have to learn how to communicate with people in a way that makes them take certain actions. And that is exactly what manipulation is about. It's about making people take action that otherwise would not have taken that action.

Now how do you do that? How do you manipulate other people? I'll break it down real easy. This is just because in this article there's limited space, and I'll tell you later where you can learn more.

First, you should understand where that person is coming from, and show that understanding. Acknowledged that person's reality. Relate to their experiences, relate to what they are currently thinking about, relate to what's on their mind right now when you're talking with them. This gives them satisfaction because they see that you are with them, that you understand them, that you know where they're coming from. This is very important. Too many people try to start out by telling other people immediately what they want them to do. That's not the right thing to do. Because it will just create opposition in most cases. The people will resist you. What you do instead is that you pick them up where they are and then gently start to lead them to where you want them to go. Then you gently start to bring them from describing their experience and talking about something that's going on with them right now, and that is of importance to them right now, to something that they should do. You suggest it in a way that they are naturally attracted to following you.
