About the book: 2012 / We have been manipulated since childhood. Parents, school, institute, employer, state... They hide behind any good ideas - altruism, mutual assistance, self-sacrifice, but think: for what purposes? We, like puppets, submit to other people's pressure and readily agree to any conditions, even those that are extremely unfavorable for us. It's time to stop! Being free is an entire art, which Joseph Kirchner will help you learn. Kirchner, the author of the bestseller “The Art of Being Selfish,” will reveal to you eight useful laws: how to recognize manipulation and protect yourself from it, no matter what guise it presents itself to you; how to love and respect first of all yourself, your interests and desires; how to defend your own opinion and not follow the lead of others; how to understand what you really want, and ultimately - how to become a truly happy person! Model your life the way you want it! Translation: N. Freiman
