G'day! Thanks for returning!
I’ve just posted the 200th article to my business communication articles website, on the background to the subtle psychological art of suggestion.
Excerpt:
Unless human beings were responsive to psychological suggestion, the influence of parents, peers and the media wouldn’t have any effect. Human beings are, however, immensely responsive to suggestion – a fact which is of enormous importance both in our individual lives and in the life of the society in which we live.
Suggestion is responsible for muddled thinking and much worse. If we are to avoid these traps, we must be on our guard. But in order to be on our guard, we must know what the traps are and what form they take. Suggestion can, of course, take many forms and once its nature is understood, can be detected almost everywhere.
That particular article is part of a whole series looking at the complex but subtle psychological art of suggestion. You can read the series either at my main articles website, or at a dedicated website — PsychologyOfSuggestion.info.
Enjoy the reading!
