Publisher's Synopsis
This book is written for people who find themselves argets or marks for con artists: - softhearted, caring and sometimes gullible-, who love kids and animals, have an aversion to "darkness" and violence, Rescuers who try to fix broken or wounded people. If you are one of these people, this book can help "get smart " rather than be a Victim. If you want a con artist-free life and wish to be free of illusions that make you a target for con artists, this book will help you use the dilemmas in your life to become more self-aware.
For more than 35 years, Janae has sought to know what is real and what is illusion. She wrote this mind-stretching book out of her personal experiences. Surrounded by con artists, sociopaths and predators as a child, she had many up-close encounters with people who saw "conning" as a natural part of life.
Part One of the book gives an overview of the subject and presents a lens for viewing "deviant" people. Part Two looks at the places where these folks hide, and shows you how to spot them. Part Three looks at what makes people become con artists, why you might attract them in your life, and how to protect yourself from them. In this part Janae also shares stories about her personal encounters with con artists, sociopaths and predators. It closes with Janae's summary of what she learned from her experiences and presents a how-to framework for breaking free that will inspire you!
