Synopsis

'A work of engaging pop philosophy and accessible social science [and] a boisterous dissection of the forces jellifying our minds' Sunday Times
Includes brand new material covering the US election and Brexit

Every day, many people will try to change your mind, but they won't reason with you. Instead, you'll be nudged, anchored, incentivised and manipulated in barely noticeable ways. It's a profound shift in the way we interact with one another. 

Philosopher James Garvey explores the hidden story of persuasion and the men and women in the business of changing our minds. From the covert PR used to start the first Gulf War to the neuromarketing of products to appeal to our unconscious minds, he reveals the dark arts practised by professional persuaders.

How did we end up with a world where beliefs are mass-produced by lobbyists and PR firms? Could Google or Facebook swing elections? Are new kinds of persuasion making us less likely to live happy, decent lives in an open, peaceful world?

Is it too late, or can we learn to listen to reason again? The Persuaders is a call to think again about how we think now.

    Everyone Deserves A Shot At Financial Freedom.. 
    But most of us go without the knowledge, education or mentorship to be able to make confident decisions around our wealth in pursuit of our goals for the future. 
    Have you found yourself having to learn the hard way? 
    Do you feel you have the financial literacy you need to make the right financial decisions? 
    Are you confident that you are on the right path for your goals? 
    From these questions, Jackson Millan- The Wealth Mentor realized that there are very few sources of truth when it comes to bare bones wealth education for everyday people written by an everyday person! 
    Most of the resources out there are written by: 
    1. People who are independently wealthy and teaching strategies that require you to already be financially free 
    2. People who have made their wealth in ways other than they are teaching 
    3. People who inherited their wealth and didn't start from dollar #1 themselves 
    If you want a no BS guide to setting yourself on the right path to financial freedom with time tested, proven strategies written by someone who has "been there and done that' you need to look no further! 
    Hear the open and honest first hand stories from The Wealth Mentor, born to a family of working class tradespeople who had to struggle to meet their basic needs. Through hard work, dedication and perseverance, Jackson has been able to craft a unique approach to wealth called 'Values Based Advice' that helps simplify your path to what you want, hold you accountable to the journey and help you create more time to do what you love.
