Introduction: Why bad looks good -- Reading red flags : four ways to separate the dangerous from the desirable -- The optics of illusion : the power of attraction -- Follow the leader : the attraction of power -- Perceiving is believing : the comfort of credibility -- Suddenly smitten : the pleasure of positive attention -- The not-so-secret admirer : the allure of affirmation -- Born to bond : the seduction of similarity -- The ax murderer next door : familiarity breeds contentment -- Craving excitement : the call of the wild -- Forbidden fruit : the temptation of taboo -- Seeking the wolf : when dangerous is desirable -- Green lights : when appearances are reality -- Reaching a verdict : a life well perceived.
"We all need emotional blinders: the etiquette that keeps society smoothly moving depends on it. But when you absolutely must rely on another person, you have to be able to assess them objectively. RED FLAGS shares simple strategies anyone can use to spot deceptive or downright dangerous people who use ingratiation and social convention to draw in and lull victims. Readers will learn how even the most skeptical of us use rose-colored lenses on those around us, in three sections: Blinded by Desire; Overlooking Red Flags in a Professional Setting; Be Afraid of What You Can't See." -- Provided by publisher.
