Weapons of Social Seduction: Defense Against The Dark Arts Training Part 4

Why do some people seem to effortlessly manipulate others while you’re left questioning your own reality? Are your limiting beliefs truly yours, or have they been strategically installed by someone else? In a world full of covert manipulators, emotional predators, and unconscious programming, how do you defend your mind and take back control? If you've ever doubted your worth, been gaslit in relationships, or felt powerless against toxic people—this episode is your wake-up call.

With decades of research and thousands of students, David exposes the psychological tactics used by narcissists and social predators—and, more importantly, how to beat them. His passion is electrifying, his tools are instantly usable, and his mission is crystal clear: to train everyday people in the art of psychological self-defense and influence.

• Change the Angle – Realize that most of your limitations are simply a matter of perspective. Like standing on a desk in Dead Poets Society, changing your view reveals a new world.
