Two Legged Snakes: Understanding and Handling Manipulative People

Who we trust is the single most important factor in determining our happiness and success. Two Legged Snakes: Understanding and Handling Manipulative People offers the keys to perceiving and overcoming deception with astonishing simplicity, and humor that ranges from profane to profound. Make choices outside the shadowy world of sophistry and be happier, safer, and more successful. Two Legged Snakes uses more than just words to get its points across. With over 100 illustrations and a light-hearted text, most readers will use more of their brain than they would with text alone and will have an improved ability to remember what they ve learned. In technical terms, this is called multi-modal processing, and it has been shown to help many people understand and remember more effectively. The topic, though quite serious, is approached with a sense of humor. Meaningful books don't have to be a words only experience and can be fun as well.

Dr. Ed Slack is a psychologist, an author and a musician who currently resides in Nashville Tennessee. Besides his writing and a full time private practice, he's raced motorcycles and played in a variety of touring bands in the US & Europe. 

 A therapist for over twenty-five years, Dr. Slack has been helping people change their lives for the better, particularly those who have experienced repeated manipulation. In the early eighties he worked with autistic children and head trauma patients through the Easter Seal Foundation. From then on he's been in private practice with frequent speaking engagements.

 If you ask Dr. Slack what qualities he values most, he'll tell you: integrity, honesty and a healthy dose of humor. Now, through his writing, his goal is to help others decipher the false from the true and gain the skills to recognize when they're being duped. He also finds many academic books boring so Two Legged Snakes: Understanding and Handling Manipulative People is a fast read that includes many humorous illustrations.
