About this listen

The Power of Propaganda: How an opinion becomes the truth

In an age where information is available at the touch of a button and news travels around the world in seconds, one question remains particularly pressing: What is true, and what has been cleverly staged to influence us?

This book takes you on an exciting journey through the mechanisms of propaganda - from historical examples and the classic techniques of political manipulation to modern forms of influence through social media and personalized algorithms. Learn how powerful actors and companies control our beliefs and perceptions and how an opinion can become the generally accepted "truth."

You will understand how propaganda works, which techniques are used and why it is so often successful. In clear and descriptive chapters, this eBook shows you how storytelling, repetition and selective truths are used to influence entire societies. But not only that: It also gives you the tools to recognize manipulative messages, to be more critical of information and to protect yourself against subtle influence.

"The Power of Propaganda: How an opinion becomes the truth" is not just a book about manipulation, but a call for vigilance and a guide to greater media literacy. In a time when each and every one of us can easily become a plaything of foreign interests, this book shows you how to remain self-determined and maintain your own opinion.

Perfect for anyone who wants to see through the modern flood of information and make sure that their beliefs are really their own.
