Mindful Manipulation is not what you think. It is the thoughtful practice of understanding the Other's perceptions and expectations, then influencing and shaping them through civil, consistent and purposeful behaviors to create advantageous negotiated results. It's not sinister or devious, but honest and at the core of the human condition when it comes to securing what you need. Mindful Manipulation is the pragmatic, humane and elegant methodology for achieving that balance of what and how.
