We live in an age where unethical persuasion is applied every day, all day, to subvert reasoning through direct appeals to one's emotions. Throughout history, people have been unwittingly influenced to act against their own better interests. But today, more sophisticated forms of influence have been devised, posing a significant threat to a free and open society. It is persuasion so sinister and subtle that it can derail critical thinking and overwhelm even the most intelligent of people, reducing them into unthinking compliance. Manipulation, undue influence and brainwashing, or whatever one chooses to call such exploitive persuasion, challenges the very notion of human rights. The use of it by unscrupulous cults, totalitarian groups and abusive individuals is growing at an alarming rate. Yet, undue influence remains a well-kept secret in the media and for the general public. This book will show how the human mind is cajoled into submitting to unethical, uninvited external influence.

Everyone needs to read a book about mind control before they go out into the world. It could be this one, or Combatting Cult Mind Control or some other overview of techniques that appeals to you, but we need to know about this stuff because sooner or later a predatory person will try to manipulate you or someone you love. It might be a "wellness workshop" or an "influencer" or a "new religious movement" or a "romantic partner" or a "truther" or a terrorist cell (what do they call themselves?) or a some randomer walking up to you in the street and tricking you into handing over your car keys.
We all need to know about how ordinary, smart and skeptical people can be tricked into relinquishing their money or their freedom (sometimes even in the name of freedom). Read a book and wear a God-damned face mask
Note:
If you've already studied psychology but want to learn about mind control / thought reform / undue influence then Combatting Cult Mind Control will probably give you more bang for your buck, because you'll be familiar with a fair chunk of Opening Minds thanks to studying social psychology. Just as reading Cialdini's Persuasion will save you money, these books will save your mind. (
