Description

You are under assault from an unrelenting army of determined, intrusive, sometimes malicious, influencers who seek to gain from their intrusion. Some truly believe that they have something worthwhile to offer to you, and mostly want the esteem and prestige that comes with exerting influence. Others could not care less about you, and want only unilateral fortune or fame. These professional influence soldiers equip themselves with the latest influence weapons. They invade via high tech devices, such as smart phones and computers. And they infiltrate your social networks, distorting them to their advantage.The influence assault troops train assiduously, guided by manuals and methods created by their influence generals who have risen in rank because their weaponry and tactics win influence battles. If discredited, they are replaced by another cadre of commanders, offering cutting edge influence theory and practice.Justifiably Paranoid trains and equips you to fight the influence war. You will learn how the influence professionals think and how they manipulate. When in an influence-vulnerable position, you will know what the influencer is trying to do, and how to counter their strategies. By skillfully employing your own weaponry, you will maintain your autonomy so that you can accept beneficial influences and reject non-beneficial ones. For instance, when purchasing a new product, you will know how to separate hype from reality, and how to negotiate from a position of strength.
