It's crucial to remember that by learning these principles, you'll be better able to spot and defend against them, and your new knowledge shouldn't be focused on how you may use those same strategies to influence others. There is a distinction between malevolent manipulation and attempting to persuade someone of something else. You don't want to dupe someone into performing things for you when they will receive no advantage. You should only utilize these approaches when you need to convince someone but can't openly ask for their assistance. Certain people are more difficult to persuade than others, therefore you may need to employ some persuasive techniques.
