This book examines the intricate mechanisms of manipulation embedded within global social, cultural, and ideological systems, spanning religion, politics, media, technology, education, economic systems, cultural norms, family structures, social movements, legal systems, and environmental ideologies. Manipulation, defined as the deliberate shaping of beliefs and behaviors through psychological and social techniques, operates across diverse contexts, from sacred rituals to digital algorithms. By analyzing these mechanisms, this work aims to foster critical thinking and safeguard individual autonomy in an era of pervasive influence.
