Mind Control: The Ancient Art of Psychological Warfare

This was the first of Ha Ha Lung's books that I read. In it he describes many methods for influencing people by playing on inherent weaknesses in the human psyche. It was for me a book that you can't just read once and fuly understand that vast array of topics included. Instead it's a book best taken piece by piece, with the reader really digesting the information. He doesn't provide many examples of how an everyday person would apply the knowledge though, that you'd have to figure out for yourself. There's just too much to cover and this book could've been twice as long. With this book you could definitely learn how to best approach many different personality types and expose their weaknesses and really go to work. It's not a book to say...simply figure out if your spouse is cheating or learn how to deal with an annoying mother-in-law. It's more about passing peoples mental defenses overpowering them with their own inherent flaws and turning them to your will, having them act how you want to. It's pretty dangerous really, but for someone who wants to learn how to avoid being exploited it's powerful stuff. Their are only so many ways that we can be manipulated and with this knowledge as a defense, you can identify when someone is trying to lie to you,exploit you,and take away your power to control your mind. In this way the book starts you on the path to mastery of self amoung those who would try and master you.

Excellent book that is basically all about stratagey. Life is war and this book is perfect for anybody who wants to be prepared. I must admit I found that many of the techniques that were advised here are the tactics of psychopaths and narcissist, but you never know when you will need to use them and you will certainly have to defend yourself against them. I just finshed reading it and will read it again. Very practical and wise (although not always moral advise). Being naive is dangerous and this book will help you to be less naive.

This is the best book I bought below $15.00. Passages written made me laugh and there are truth behind them. There are references to movies, bible, buddhism, famous people and etc. makes the book wholesome. If you want some good laugh read this book. Enjoy!

I have read this author's other books I think this book is by far his best book. He touches on many many different subjects, hypnosis,NLP, and verbal techniques. He's certainly would wet someone's appetite to want to search more in-depth on these subjects. Overall this book is excellent, one of the best books I've read on this type of subject. I have learned a lot of new ideas from this book and would really recommend it to someone who is in a situation with a need to know this information. To be quite honest this book incorporates most everything else in his previous books, so you really would only need this volume.
