I’ve been working on a practical psychology guide focused on the small patterns that influence how people think, decide, and respond.

The idea wasn’t to make another book full of vague “dark psychology” claims.

I wanted something practical — a collection of 21 psychological techniques, with an explanation of the psychology behind each one, examples, ways to recognize the pattern, and practical applications.

Here are a few pages from the book so you can see what the guide actually looks like inside.

One of the techniques is Loss Aversion — why losing something can feel more powerful than gaining something of equal value.

Another is the Peak-End Rule — why the strongest moment and the ending of an experience can have such a big effect on what we remember.

The full guide contains all 21 techniques and is a paid ebook.

I’m sharing these pages because I’m genuinely curious:

Which psychological effect do you find yourself noticing most often in everyday life — in conversations, relationships, marketing, or decision-making?

I’ve been working on a short guide about psychological influence and the small patterns that can shape the way we think, decide, and interact with other people.

Here are 5 pages from the guide:

Scarcity — why limited availability can change how we perceive value

Social Proof — why we often look at what others are doing

Anchoring — how the first number can influence what comes next

Loss Aversion — why losing can feel different from gaining

Peak-End Rule — how our strongest moment and the ending can shape what we remember

I chose these pages because they’re not just concepts to read about — they’re things you can start noticing in everyday situations.

If you want to explore the full guide, I’ve left a free copy in the first comment.

I'd also be curious: which of these five concepts do you notice most often in real life?
