If you find yourself a victim without just cause, you may be the type of person that manipulators of all ilks like to target. From button pushing individuals all the way to a devolving society, George K. Simon aptly reveals the many types and levels of manipulators and how you can find freedom from them and maybe even help change our world for the better. "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."
