Hitler Decoded: Inside the Mind That Broke the World (Decoded by Craig Beck)

In 1909, a thin, pale young man stood on a street corner in Vienna selling painted postcards to tourists. He couldn't hold down a job. He couldn't maintain a friendship. He was sleeping in a homeless shelter and arguing with drifters about politics nobody cared about. Thirty years later, he controlled most of Europe. Sixty million people would die because of his decisions.How does that happen?This isn't another book about the war. It's not about the battles or the tanks or the maps with arrows on them. You can get that anywhere. This is an audiobook about the mind of a madman. The psychology. The invisible machinery inside one deeply damaged man that allowed him to convince an entire nation to follow him off a cliff, and the terrifying ordinariness of every single person who helped him do it.Craig Beck, bestselling author and persuasion expert, takes you inside the head of Adolf Hitler, the most destructive human being in recorded history, from the childhood beatings that built an unbreakable wall of narcissism, to the homeless shelters of Vienna, to the trenches of the First World War, to the beer halls of Munich, to the bunker where it all ended with a pistol and a cyanide capsule. Along the way, he decodes the psychological tricks, the persuasion techniques, and the dark patterns of behaviour that turned a nobody into a monster and explains why the people who should have stopped him didn't. Couldn't. Or simply chose not to.This audiobook will change the way you look at power, persuasion, and the fragile line between civilisation and catastrophe.You'll never watch the news the same way again.CraigBeck.com Read more
