About Me
My name is Maja Spencer. Many years ago, in 2006, I graduated from the University of Political Sciences, Department of International Relations. My final thesis was Manipulation. I also hold a Master’s degree in psychology.
While still a young student, I was in love with the fields of manipulation, communication (and propaganda), and human behavior. After many years of studying psychology, sociology and psychopathology, I started writing books. I am a certified trauma-informed coach, consultant, and problem-solver.
Google says I am also a singer, so it is probably true. The music you can hear on YouTube and Spotify was indeed made and sung by me.
In my free time, I debunk myths. When I have even more free time, I study the processes of poor thinking and psychopathology.
Here are a few fun facts about me: I am an Argentine Tango dancer and I am pretty fanatical about it. I enjoy reading, shooting firearms, running, free dance, drawing, interior design, driving cars and organizing everything that needs order.
I love hyenas, Komodo dragons, lynxes and leopards. I love machines and robotics.
I am not a member of any political, religious, or any other kind of group or association. I believe in honesty and helping others. I have been doing that all my life and I will keep doing it for as long as I live – because I want to, not because some dogma is telling me to do so, or threatening to punish me if I don’t.
