About this audiobook
They didn't need armies. They needed one woman.
HOW TO KILL A MAN is a dark, rigorously researched study of the psychology behind masculine vulnerability — why the strongest, most powerful, most influential men in history were not broken by their enemies but dismantled from the inside, willingly, by women who understood something military armies never did.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
— The Nine Laws of Feminine Destruction, drawn from scripture, history, and modern behavioral science
— Deep case studies: Samson & Delilah, David & Bathsheba, Solomon, Napoleon & Joséphine, Mark Antony & Cleopatra
— The neuroscience of male dependency — oxytocin, intermittent reinforcement, and why brilliant men make catastrophic decisions
— The four instruments of covert control — and how they operate invisibly
— The modern game — how these ancient dynamics play out in the digital age
— A dual perspective: what women need to understand about their power, and what men need to understand about their vulnerability
