Learn how to recognise and resist the daily attempts to control and manipulate your mind. There is a war on for your mind. We are endlessly confronted by those who would manipulate us – advertisers, pick-up artists, politicians, big tech, cult leaders and many more – even the humble waiter who asks, ‘Still or sparkling?’
All forms of communication are designed to persuade you in some way. Politicians and nudge units manipulate us into agreeing with controversial policies. Adverts tell us to buy lots of this, but none of that. The news tells us what to care about. Charities compete for our support. Social media buffets us with algorithms. Symbols are seeded into our subconscious minds.
This book is your field manual for surviving the information battlefield, gleaning unique insight from mind-control experts ranging from monks to magicians. Find out why you should read the news not watch it, why you should never make decisions when you’re hungry, why you should question people who say the choice is yours, and much more.
There are thousands of books which teach the arts of advertising, nudging, propaganda and manipulation. Finally, here is a book which will equip you to resist them all. It’s time to free your mind.Read More
