Santoro has written other revenge books, but none with the subtlety and panache of "Gaslighting." This one breaks new ground in showing you how to use psychological techniques to vex and disorient a target. The techniques he explains are versatile, and you can use them against a nasty employer, a "neighbor from hell," or a fellow employee who is the boss's snitch. Naturally, not all techniques work against everyone, which is why the wide array of methods offered is valuable.

One should require a license before owning this book. It shows how to totally ruin someones life with being completley discrete. It requires patience to do what the author suggests so if you want quick revenge tacktics there are other books that are better. This book shows that if one is motivated enough to get back at some one it is easy to make them loose their mind.

What a disappointment. The title interested me in that I wanted to understand how to defend oneself against mind control.... This book is juvenile, poorly presented and boring. The ideas are neither new nor creative. A child could come up with these. (Please, rubber gloves when you handle mail? Buy a hat to match the one your advisary uses and adjust the band down to make it appear as though the wearer's head is expanding. Give me a break! ) This is about the best advice .....if you were into mail fraud and practical jokes. I am returning this for a refund and really question the author's motivation beyond the material. It is not even entertaining.

Do you have a backstabbing enemy lurking in your midst? Have they gone too far? Get this book and never worry about them again! Gaslighting has subtle, sanity destroying revenge tactics that will definitly drive your enemies crazy. However you should be warned that these particular revenge tactics can only be used on some one you have contact with, not the maniac driver who cut you off in traffic. There's a fair selection of different tactics, so you're sure to find something to work against your enemy. Just be sure to make the punishment fit the crime.

Many of the techniqes described in this book require time and thoughtful planning. That pretty much guarantees that the person who is carrying out these capers isn't a hothead. It appears that with many of these techniques, you would need to be in somewhat close contact with the person. To have the opportuntiy to switch contents of envelopes, put dye in a pocket in the laundry, etc., you would need to have more than just a passing acquaintence with the target. This book would also be a great source for someone who writes novels--obviously, at least one screenwriter found this kind of mind game to make for a classic movie with the same name as this book. Plenty of stock with the strange publisher, Loompanics. Check out that site! Whew! Or call 8003802230.

I was not quite sure of the situation that I am now facing. After reading the book I realize Gaslighting does exist. I now understand the sick minds that allow this book to guide them in the act of revenge. This book clarified to family and friends that gaslighting does exist and added validity to my statements. It has also moved me to inform and help others to the realization of the existance of gaslighting. My rating is a 3 star because the book is designed to help the criminal and not the victim.

I really hated this book. I must of been blind sighted with the rage of revenge when I when pushed the "one click order" button. If I could rate this book a fraction of a star I would.
