Has this ever happened to you?

Five scenes. If even one sounds familiar, this manual is about you.

Jessica Milleronline
So are we talking tonight?
✓✓ Read at 9:14 PM

Your message shows as read at 9:14 PM. No reply. And you spend the whole evening staring at your phone.

The Strategic Delay · Technique 277

One day they're all in, the next day they vanish. And that person won't leave your head.

Intermittent Reinforcement · Technique 417

You say yes to a small favor. Then to a bigger one. And in the end you're doing things you never wanted to do.

The Foot in the Door · Technique 262

You start the argument knowing you're right. You end it apologizing. The perfect comeback hits you two hours later.

Deny, Attack, Play the Victim · Technique 471

In a negotiation, the other side names a number first. And from there, you never really move.

The First-Number Anchor · Technique 7
At work In relationships In the family In negotiations

It isn't bad luck, and it isn't a flaw in you. Every scene has a name, a mechanism, and a defense. The manual holds 500.

Starting tonight, you make the move. Starting tonight, you make the move. Starting tonight, you make the move.

Now flip the cards

Flip the roles.

The same five scenes. Seen from the other side. People who know these techniques don't fall for them: they use them.

    Other people say yes to you. One small step at a time.

    The Foot in the Door · Technique 262
  • Today it happens to you

    You end the argument apologizing.

    Starting tonight, you flip the script

    You close the argument. And the apologies come to you.

THE BODY DOESN'T LIE

✓ Tell when they're lying
100 body signals explained
Drag the book to turn it

The 500 Techniques teach you to spot what people say and do to play you. One piece was missing: what their body says while they talk. That's why, along with the manual, you get The Body Doesn't Lie. It isn't on Amazon yet: in the digital bundle you can read it right now, before anyone else.

  • The baseline: first you learn what a person looks like when they're calm, then you notice what changes.
  • Face, eyes, hands, voice, and distance: what they reveal about the person in front of you, even before they speak.
  • The signals of a lie: which ones really count and which are just myths.
  • Interest and attraction: telling whether the other person is on your side, on a date or in a negotiation.
  • When the body becomes a weapon: how salespeople and scammers use it to rush you, and how to stop them.
  • The 100-signal quick reference: for every gesture, what it may mean and when not to trust it.
  • The 30-day plan: one exercise a day to train your eye.

🎁 With its audiobook: 5+ hours, free.

Ever had a gut feeling?

Five scenes where the body had already answered. You just had to know how to look.

What they said

"Great proposal. We'll think it over and get back to you."

Their body, meanwhile

Leaning back, arms crossed tight, feet turned toward the door.

In a negotiation they tell you "we'll think it over and get back to you." They're smiling, but their feet are already turned toward the door. The body had already told you how it would end.

Feet and Legs · Chapter 3

You ask "Where were you last night?" The answer comes fast, perfect, full of details. Too perfect.

The Signals of a Lie · Chapter 10

On a date you can't tell if it's interest or just politeness. And you spend the next evening rereading the texts.

Interest and Attraction · Chapter 11

You're sure your manager has it in for you, because they never smile. Then you find out they're like that with everyone. Weeks of anxiety for nothing.

The Baseline · Chapter 2

The door-to-door salesperson touches your arm, talks fast, puts a foot on your doormat. Two minutes later you've signed a contract you didn't want.

When the Body Becomes a Weapon · Chapter 14

Words and body

Together they make you
stronger.

With one book you see half the scene. With both, you're the one who sees the game.

You hear the words

You catch the technique inside the sentence, while they're saying it.

You recognize manipulation

You put a name on what they're doing to you, before it works.

from The 500 Techniques
You know how to respond

For every technique you get the defense and the words to say.

from The 500 Techniques
You see the gestures

You notice the discomfort, the interest, and the lies that words try to hide.

Frequently asked questions.

How do I get it?

Right after payment you get both books as PDFs and both audiobooks as MP3s. Open them on your phone, tablet, or computer.

Is it a one-time payment?

Yes. $39 once, no subscription.

Do I have to read the whole thing?

No. It's a quick-reference manual: find your situation and go straight to the technique. And if you'd rather listen, the audiobook reads them all.

Is there a paperback?

Yes, The 500 Techniques of Mental Mastery is also on Amazon, printed on paper. The digital version on this site costs $39 and also includes The Body Doesn't Lie and both audiobooks.

What's different from the previous edition?

This edition was rewritten from scratch: one technique per page, always with the same structure, the First Aid section with 14 situations, and the alphabetical index.

Is it OK if I'm starting from zero?

Yes. The first part covers the basics, then the level goes up.

Are these techniques for using on other people?

They're for two things: recognizing them when they're used on you, and using them responsibly, at work, in negotiations, in relationships.

What if I have trouble with the download?

Write to mentisdomina@gmail.com: we'll get back to you within 24 hours and send you the links again.
