Description
About the Series
This series of three mind-stretching books are written for people who give life—people who are innocent, naíve, trusting, gullible and naturally loving. These are the people who make perfect targets or marks for con artists.
Janae writes these books out of her personal experiences with con artists, sociopaths and predators. Surrounded by predators as a child, Janae had many up-close-and-personal experiences with both men and women who preyed on children and saw “conning” as a natural part of life. As a result, she has a well-developed bullsh*t detector that she drew on in researching this book series.
Janae’s personal experiences turned her into a ruthless Warrior for Truth and Seeker of the Shadow. For almost 15 years she has been on a search to know the difference between what is real and what is illusion. These books are an extension of Breaking Free of the Matrix ebook series, sold in the bookstore here at weinholds.org.
- Con Job: Breaking Free of Con Artistis, Sociopaths & Predators (Book 1) gives an overview of the subject and presents a lens for viewing “deviant” people.

In this video, Janae talks about why she wrote these books and about her decision to “get smart” rather than be a victim. Janae’s books can help you make this same shift in thinking so that you can break free of the tangled web of family secrets and cultural lies with which you grew up.
About this Book
This third in the “educate yourself” Con Job ebook series looks in-depth at con artists, sociopaths and predators. It focuses on “the solution:” how to protect yourself from con artists, psychopaths and predators.
Chapter One describes how con artists are created and looks at the impact of early trauma on their development. It also examines role of the social and cultural environment in creating people who become con artists, sociopaths and predators.
Chapter Two helps you look at how you grew up, and to recognize dysfunctional family patterns and experiences that might make you an easy target for con artists. Chapter Three looks at how the structure of American society not only protects con artists, but also holds them up as examples of “success” in fulfilling the “American Dream.”
Chapter Four describes how to shift from victim consciousness to “getting smart.” It looks specifically at Drama Triangle dynamics: recognizing a rescue, encountering your shadow, getting off the Drama Triangle, and taking charge of your life. Chapter Five describes specific things that you can do to protect yourself from relational, institutional and societal predators. It also describes how to protect children from predators, a growing concern today for parents.
In Chapter Six Janae shares eleven stories (there are more!) about her own encounters with con artists, sociopaths and predators. This chapter ends with a summary of what she has learned from her experiences and a framework that she hopes will inspire you.
