I'm not a psychologist nor a psychiatrist. I'm a hustler* - that makes it essential that I know how people think, how they tend to react, what buttons to push, how hard, and how often.
I've worked on all this since I was a very small child and found out I had the gift of gab and a disarming smile.
My day job is as a peak performance coach and consultant, and I also train people in refining their communication skills. Since the reaction you get from a person tends to depend on who you are talking to, what you say/do, and how you react to what they say/do, it helps to know what to say and do to get a desired result from people.
Judgmental types might say I train people in manipulation.
My products sell for $ 300 or more (taped audio courses), and my consulting fee is $5,000 a day and first class expenses, two-day minimum.
* In the interest of clarity, that's an oldschool definition of hustler: "a shrewd (or unscrupulous) person who knows how to circumvent difficulties; goal: get people's money." Not the more modern definition: a hooker. :-)

Naw, we can just download them for free off the net. Filesharing is great.
