    About this ebook

    QuickRead presents a summary of "The Confidence Game" by Maria Konnikova:

     

    The Confidence Game (2016) lays bare the psychology behind pyramid schemes, get-rich-quick scams, and every other con artist trick in the book to help us understand why we so easily fall prey to manipulators. 

     

    If you've ever wondered why we fall for con artists or even why we can be easily manipulated by others in everyday life, The Confidence Game has the answers. Drawing on examples from psychology and history, Maria Konnikova explains why confidence can create a master manipulator or a victim, why we're attracted to successful people, and what's wrong with our self-perception.
