Inside the Dark Tetrad: Power. Manipulation, and Pain

  • Summary

  • In this episode of The Observing I, we’re diving deep into the darker side of human nature—what psychologists call the Dark Tetrad. We’ll break down the four traits that make up this shadowy quartet: Narcissism, Machiavellianism, Psychopathy, and Sadism.

    But we’re not just here to talk theory—we’ll explore how these traits show up in real life, from personal relationships to workplace dynamics, and offer practical strategies for protecting yourself when you come across someone who thrives on manipulation, control, or emotional detachment.

    If you like what you hear, there's a book I wrote that goes alongside the podcast called "The Observing I: A Guide to Living a More Authentic Life". You can buy it on Amazon at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Observing-Guide-Living-More-Authentic-ebook/dp/B0D54FV5D5/

    Much love, David
