"Interesting take on persuasion and sales tactics. I found this to be a useful, readable book. I found their debunking of the myth of subconscious advertising's influence most intriguing. School."
"This is a fascinating look at the coercive techniques that individuals and the mass media use to persuade the public to think and act in certain ways. Psychologists Pratkanis and Aronson analyze the purposeful actions, language, and symbolism behind advertising, the promoting of the first Gulf war, cult leaders' power over individuals, and political elections. This valuable book helps the reader to look at the world with a skeptical eye towards the manipulative print, television, and radio messages we are bombarded with on a daily basis."
"I read this in a class during one of the last semesters of my undergrad degree in psychology. It's the kind of stuff we never think about until someone points it out to us: how we get suckered into sales pitches and the many kinds of indoctrination we perpetuate, mostly thoughtlessly.
If we could somehow put this book in the water supply, our world would be a better place for the understanding we would gain of ourselves."
