This book began as an attempt to help me figure out what this very long and interesting journey of mine was all about. For the past twelve or thirteen years I have written snippets about my life which I looked at one day and determined that maybe those few words could help someone who had been or was going through something similar to my situation. I don't have any magic formula to withstand enormous pain and heartache, but I do have something to say about how God saved me from me.

The Apology (Latin: Apologeticum or Apologeticus) is Tertullian's most famous work, consisting of apologetic and polemic.

It is in this treatise that one finds the phrase: "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church."

This book goes over the context of deception, the lies you can easily spot, and some interesting facts about people’s personality that will shock you. How a personality adds to the things they say, is, of course, significant. Therefore, we will explore that connection.

We don’t always talk about some of the darker sides of human psychology, but they are out there. The simple truth is that just because you don’t focus on something doesn’t mean it’s not real. On that note, this book discussed topics such as blackmail, manipulation, and sadism. Some people have been hurt so much that all they want is to see the world burn. They don’t care about others, and they just use them as tools to get what they want. If you are tough enough to face that dark side, then come on over and start listening to this guide.

What is emotional intelligence? Does it help us make better, more rational decisions? Can we resist sales tactics and do the math, or do we jump in on emotional trends? Those are some of the things we will discuss here.

Figuring out how to notice deception is mandatory for our survival and happiness. Don’t let this chance to learn something new pass you by.

Psychopaths and sociopaths are everywhere in our society. You may not realize it, but they are out there. Chances are that you know someone who is a sociopath, and you don’t even know it. Aside from examining these topics, this book will also look into other topics that are related to manipulation. All of these things will be helpful as you try to get a better grasp of the human psyche.

People who are manipulative often make use of secret tactics to get other people to do what they want. They try to exercise control over their victims by using hidden aggression methods. This is different from regular aggression, because it is typically sneaky and subtle. In the third chapter of this book, self-help scams are addressed. The self-help industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry that feeds on the gullible wishful thinking of the ones who go to seminars, buy books, overpriced courses, etc.

In this book, you will learn more about the culture we live in today. Are we being brainwashed by the media? How is social media affecting us? And with those two questions in mind, does this mean there are more narcissists today than ever before?

Some even see the relationship between cults and actual religions. But why are cults so dark and scary?

How do they persuade the other gender to give them what they desire? This is where some human psychology will be helpful. The differences will be addressed in the first chapter of this book. Moving on, some false concepts about mind control will be discussed, as well as persuasion techniques that you may have never heard about.

Jesus Christ has taken all our sicknesses and infirmities so it becomes a miscarriage of justice when we still suffer afflictions. Although Jesus paid for all our infirmities we must understand that our God is a god of order, so thus he has set in place certain principles that one must have embedded within him so as to enlarge one's capacity to receive divine health.

There are believers and there are also fake believers. Sometimes it's deliberate, sometimes it is not.
