The Persuaders - The hidden industry that wants to change your mind

James Garvey

Casa editrice: Icon Books

Sinossi

'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.

The Culture Climb will help leaders • understand and examine their work culture in a simple yet comprehensive way, • discover how to use culture to grow a healthy and sustainable business, and • push past all the theories about culture to help leaders make real change.
