{"product_id":"9781523654901","title":"Stop The Propaganda Machine From Controlling How You Think And Vote: A Blueprint For Detecting Deception","description":"It is difficult and complex to ever really know if political leaders are telling the truth. Along with truthful communications often come lying, spin, hype, hate-speech and fear-mongering. Deciding what is truthful and what is deceptive takes considerable effort. However, the truth really matters. Political leaders and the mass media collaborate in a business relationship to build a giant Propaganda Machine which collectively attempts to tell us how to think and vote by delivering enormous amounts of influence messages to us at an unrelenting pace. In this book, I present several deception-detecting strategies that you can use to sort out statements for truth. I show numerous persuasion tactics political leaders use to convince us to think and vote the way they want us to think and vote. I describe how not to get controlled by the drama of political leaders' communications to persuade us to vote for them without at least making a smart effort to understand the real messages. Most of the information in this book comes from my work experience as a psychologist for more than forty years, 27 of them in private practice. I also acquired information by carrying out several mini social psychology research projects as you will see when you read the book. Of course, I conducted extensive examination of psychological research journals. And, recently I've been talking to my family dog, Rocky Bob. He's a good listener and it's surprising what one can learn from a good listener when writing a book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eMel Whitehurst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJan 22, 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e50 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1523654902\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781523654901\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49188367106353,"sku":"9781523654901","price":12.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781523654901__57811_865c722a-9953-4125-a8d9-462e5dd3e0cb.jpg?v=1716717027","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781523654901","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
