Sinossi

"Shocking Advertising Tricks" unveils the hidden psychological techniques that advertisers employ, often subconsciously influencing consumer behavior. It delves into how strategies rooted in cognitive biases and emotional triggers drive purchasing decisions, even when we don't need the product. For instance, the book explores how advertisers use color psychology to evoke specific feelings or create brand associations that bypass rational thought. Understanding these methods empowers consumers to make more informed choices in an environment saturated with persuasive messaging.

 
The book approaches this topic by building from foundational research in psychology and marketing, examining real-world case studies to illustrate how these techniques play out in actual campaigns. It's structured into three key sections: an introduction to core psychological concepts, an exploration of specific advertising techniques, and a discussion of ethical considerations, including consumer manipulation and data privacy.

 
By exposing the mechanisms behind persuasive advertising, "Shocking Advertising Tricks" advocates for greater transparency and responsibility within the marketing industry, crucial for both individual autonomy and a more ethical marketplace.

Social Security Horror Stories -...

Laurence J. Kotlikoff, Terry Savage

Learn how to make sure you get the correct Social Security benefits, avoid frightening clawbacks, and how to deal with the opaque bureaucracy of Social Security. 
 
 
 
Social Security admits it has made $21.6 billion in incorrect benefits payments! Now it wants its money back—from widows, orphans, retired schoolteachers, and even young children whose parents received disability benefits on their behalf. 
 
 
 
Often with no explanation, they send threatening letters clawing back amounts ranging from several thousand dollars to more than $100,000. The clawback notices all carry the threat that benefits will be stopped immediately if a repayment plan is not set. 
 
 
 
But it's almost impossible to get an explanation, the records, or an appointment for a resolution of these clawback demands. It could happen to you—or to someone you love. 
 
 
 
We wrote this book to help you and let you know you're not alone. We are also working to pressure Congress and the Treasury Secretary to prevent these intimidating clawback interactions that impact our most vulnerable citizens.
