The World Is Rife with Favoritism (HOW TO PUT IT TO WORK FOR YOU) The Essence of Manipulation
("I DON'T NEED you. You NEED ME") And the Meek Shall Manipulate the Earth (EVER KNOW MUCH, AND YOU'll. GET FURTHER) How to Pick a Person Apart and Discover His Real Motives and Feelings The Guernsey vs. the Brahma (WHY A "POSITIVE ATTITUDE" IS LIKE A GIGOLO) How to Avoid Being Taken in Financial Dealings (WATCH WHERE THE MONEY IS) Manipulating a Person's Thinking (KNOW WHOSE MIND YOU CAN CHANGE, AND WHEN IT'S BETTER TO SHUT UP) Win Ninety-five Percent of Your Arguments!

(THE UNARGUE TECHNIQUE) A Little Pressure Has Its Place-But Seldom If All Else Fails, Try the Dirty Way. How to Squelch Ingratitude Before It Starts.
