Synopsis

Trust is an automatic and for most, a largely unexamined process. We receive thousands of messages each day, tugging at us to buy this, believe that, and support this or that view. Contrary to all these choices is the fact that most people know very little about how to decipher the false from the true, the manipulative from the sincere, and the ill-advised from the functional. Two Legged Snakes: What You Need to Know, will have you identifying dishonest and manipulative people and media in less time than it takes to fly from New York to Dallas. Two Legged Snakes uses more than just words to get its points across. With over 100 illustrations and a light-hearted text, most readers will use more of their brain than they would with text alone and will have an improved ability to remember what they've learned. In technical terms, this is called multi-modal processing, and it has been shown to help many people understand and remember more effectively, particularly those of us with non-traditional learning styles such as a touch of dyslexia or a bit of the ADD. The topic, though quite serious, is approached with a sense of humor. Meaningful books don't have to be a words only experience and can be fun as well. Two Legged Snakes: Understanding and Handling Manipulative People offers the keys to perceiving and overcoming deception with astonishing simplicity and humor. You won't get fooled again.
