How to Recognize a Master Manipulator
The talk discusses how to recognize and deal with manipulative people, particularly those exhibiting the 'dark triad' traits of psychopathy, narcissism, and machiavellianism. The speaker suggests a method called 'CBR' (Cold, Bottom line, Rational) to handle such individuals. 'Cold' means being emotionally guarded, 'Bottom line' refers to focusing on your ultimate goal, and 'Rational' implies making decisions based on outcomes, not appearances.
