Hi stfassisi,

Thanks for the recommendation. I might look at it a little when I have the time, although I can’t guarantee it will change my views.

Likewise, you (and everyone) can check out an article I wrote this past October. It covers the topic of abusive manipulation tactics, and how to be less susceptible to them.

Happy reading!

I thought you conclusion was nice where you said...

With all things considered, in your life and in this world, you were meant to be unique, but not lonely; self-interested, but not self-centered; and were made to be an interdependent trader in a network of relationships, not a completely independent island in a vacuum.
