Must book in this social media era
ð® A book like ‘Free your mind’ is actually a best guide on the current culture. Many times we fall for something, not analysing whether it is required or not. Keeping oneself immune to manipulation is the key. Have you heard of Dunning Kruger effect? There were much more phenomenons explianed in the book which was a new phrase for með .ð® Mixture of Analysis and Teachings keep the readers relevant to the content. Manipulative images and overstimulating content can damage the attentiveness. Let’s compare books and movies. People hook on to movies more these days due to its motion pictures and sounds whereas the population of readers gradually decrease.

tactics used by big business, media and government to manipulate, mold and coerce “right think” and its associated behaviour in you. Independent thinkers and sheeple alike should read this to confront the misdirection and deception used by institutions that ostensibly are there to serve them.

I recently finished reading “Free Your Mind” by Patrick Fagan, and I must say, it’s one of the most enlightening books I’ve come across in a long time. This book is not just a read; it’s an experience that empowers and educates you in ways you wouldn’t expect.From the outset, Fagan captivates the reader with his insightful perspectives on human psychology and behavior. His writing style is engaging and accessible, making complex concepts easy to understand and relate to. He delves into the intricacies of the mind with such clarity and depth that you can’t help but feel a sense of awakening as you turn each page.One of the most impressive aspects of this book is how Fagan combines scientific research with practical advice. He provides actionable steps to free your mind from the constraints of societal norms and self-imposed limitations. The book is filled with real-life examples and exercises that encourage self-reflection and personal growth.”Free Your Mind” is more than just a guide; it’s a journey toward self-discovery and mental liberation. Fagan’s expertise in psychology shines through in every chapter, offering readers a unique opportunity to understand and transform their thought processes.In conclusion, I highly recommend “Free Your Mind” to anyone seeking to understand the depths of their mind and unlock their full potential. Whether you’re a student of psychology, a professional in the field, or just someone curious about the human mind, this book is a valuable resource that will leave a lasting impact on your life.

Firstly, notice how Amazon automatically puts all the five star reviews first below this product. They WANT you to hear the positive stuff first, so you buy this book. Why would they encourage the poorer reviews to be visible? You might choose not to buy it. This is a simple example of the manipulation we experience all day, every day.Anyhow… This is a timely, important and accurate work, and should be on all bookshelves.My only issue is the analogy of a battlefield and the reader being a soldier (used in the Intro and chapter 1). This really feels childish, forced and amateurish, and detracts from the scholarly contents. It nearly put me off continuing to read the whole book. But if you persevere the other chapters are well worth reading.If the authors read this reveiw I suggest scrubbing the “reader is a soldier” analogy when you publish the second edition. It’s unnecessary and clichéd.Great book. Well done and thank you for putting it together.

A thorough and helpful book. Very enjoyable to read, despite its concerning subject matter. Made me feel a bit more optimistic and had some really good advice. Seemed rather long, but very much worth the effort of getting through it all.
