This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there:
Book 1 - Verbal abuse involves making negative, defining statements about a person or withholding responses to diminish their presence. Essentially, it means belittling, insulting, or patronizing someone, or gossiping behind their back.
When the abuser fails to apologize or retract their harmful statements, the relationship may be characterized by verbal abuse. Such abuse is often driven by underlying anger, which fuels and sustains the abusive behavior.
In schools and everyday life, verbal abuse, often accompanied by physical bullying, serves to elevate the abuser's status over their target and to rally others against the victim. Typically, the bully may not know any other way to connect with others emotionally.
Book 2 - Influence, at its core, means having the power to affect people or situations. Subconsciously, we are constantly influenced and are influencing others through countless factors that impact our decisions. Even something as mundane as choosing toothpaste involves a myriad of external influences. Influence is a universal phenomenon, not confined by species or origin. Although the factors that contribute to influence might seem endless, social scientists have identified fewer than ten key aspects. This book will explore how to effectively influence others to achieve your desired outcomes.
