Synopsis
Whether it's your mate or child who knows how to push your buttons, the coworker who quietly undermines your efforts while professing to be helpful, or the boss who preys on your weaknesses, manipulative people have two goals: to win and to look good doing it. Often those they abuse are ignorant of, or only vaguely aware of, what is happening to them.
In Sheep's Clothing casts aside the cloak of secrecy these "wolves" use. Each chapter highlights a specific characteristic using vignettes taken from actual case histories. Then Dr. Simon takes you behind the scenes and between the lines. What on the surface may sound to you like perfectly logical behavior turns out to be cloaked in the most insidious, subtle mantle of manipulation.
In Sheep's Clothing also takes a probing look at the important difference between self-respect and self-esteem -- and, in a profound epilogue -- the ways our society now encourages the wrong kind of aggressive behavior. Read this book and have the wool lifted from your eyes.

July 23, 2007: What an amazing book! This is one direct, straight as arrow book that helps you face reality and deal with it. I have read other books but George Simon tells it like it is. Only the courageous ones who want to abort a vicious cycle of manipulation and claim their life back will 'handle' such a raw, truthful book! This is reality!

April 25, 2003: The book gives you good examples that covers almost every area of the life, but the solution given are too brief, I hope author gives detailed solution in future releases.
