The book presents a structured exploration, beginning with defining strategic repulsion and distinguishing it from simple rejection. It then systematically unpacks the psychological underpinnings, dedicating chapters to perceived value, scarcity, and psychological reactance. Applying these concepts, the book investigates their impact on diverse areas such as romantic relationships, business negotiations, and marketing strategies.
Finally, it delves into ethical considerations, advocating for responsible application. By blending research, case studies, and real-world examples, it offers a unique perspective on how measured distance can foster genuine connections and achieve desired outcomes.
