I've been studying up on the art of influencing people and

By talking to them conversationally and being candid.

>How did Steve Job's convince all those people to work for him even though they were getting fucked over?
Appealed to their ego, stroking it with charm and hyperbolic compliments and other times bullying and denigrating them.

that's a good start. also recognize fear is beneath a lot of emotions and is perhaps the strongest motivator. anger, jealousy, selfishness, greed all stem from fear so if you can figure out how to play off someone's fear, you can manipulate them easily.

Having said that, you should not look to Steve Jobs is a terrible role model for manipulation because he had this huge reputation that allowed him to get away with stuff - just like Stanley Kubrick. Although Stanley Kubrick was far more subtle and long-game in his manipulation, he did - after all like to remind people he was a fine Chess player.
However both people were known as "geniuses" you're just some shmoe, you'll get told to fuck off if you go full Steve Jobs.

For begingers, you need to try the Louis Theroux/Columbo approach
>Hides his intelligence
>Gets people to be very candid and uncensored
>Gets people to reveal their weaknesses because they think you won't exploit them

But the best advice I can offer is to become a great conversationalist.
Then you can move onto "framing".
Learning how to cold-read people is good too.

You should watch some old Ali G interviews

not bad advice. ali g had everything planned beforehand and manipulated the people to give him what he wanted.

Aigh't brother you got a point.

but also take it with a grain of salt: that shit is also edited. Just like the Colbert report interviews

>people want happiness, wealth, fame, power, in many forms.
>find that form and poke it
>make them realise they want to take that form
>subtly show you can provide it, using passion and genuine interest

It's funny how you guys are reading books like that. Can you really *learn* how to manipulate others from a book? I really don't think so. It should be a natural thing.
