Robert Greene’s books/videos/interviews are probably a good option.

They were inspired by his own experience of being bullied/exploited as a writer in Hollywood.

They are criticized for being harmful explanations of how to behave in manipulative and damaging ways: his response is that he doesn’t like that this is the way people behave - he’s suffered from it as much as anyone else - he is just writing about what he’s observed in human nature and society so people can learn how to not be victim to it.
