Summary
Fuckery: The Subtle Art of Beating Your Opponent is not a book about cheating — it’s a book about winning smarter. This is your field guide to the psychological and tactical tools used by champions, generals, CEOs, athletes, and politicians to make opponents beat themselves. When skill levels are equal, talent alone isn’t enough — fuckery is the edge that tips the scales.
Across sport, war, business, law, and politics, this book shows how real winners manipulate ego, weaponise fear, break rhythm, change the rules, and even influence the referee. From UFC knockouts, Hannibal’s battlefield genius, and John McEnroe’s chaos-fuelled tennis, to corporate mind games and the modern masterclass of Donald J. Trump — you’ll see how the greats bend human psychology in their favour.
Packed with stories, tactics, humour, and brutally practical lessons you can apply immediately — whether you’re stepping into a boardroom, negotiation, competition, dojo, or just trying to outwit life itself.
