Learn how to recognise and resist the daily attempts to control and manipulate your mind.

There is a war on for your mind. You may not notice, but you are surrounded by manipulators: advertisers, politicians, big tech, even the humble waiter who asks, ‘Still or sparkling?’

Free Your Mind is your field manual to surviving the information battlefield. In this indispensable book, Laura Dodsworth and Patrick Fagan draw on interviews with mind-control experts ranging from monks to magicians, infiltrate cults and forums to uncover their most deceptive techniques and expose the hidden tactics used to influence you, from social media to subliminal messages.

Learn how to recognise the nudges, dispel efforts to brainwash you and always question those who say the choice is yours. If you don’t control your mind, someone else will.

Free Your Mind

This is a book about fear. Fear of a virus. Fear of death. Fear of losing our jobs, our democracy, our human connections, our health and our minds. It's also about how the government weaponised our fear against us – supposedly in our best interests – until we were one of the most frightened countries in the world. But why did the government deliberately frighten us? How has this affected us as individuals and as a country? Who is involved in the decision-making that affects our lives? How are behavioural science and nudge theory being used to subliminally manipulate us? How does the media leverage fear? What are the real risks to our wellbeing? Ahead of any official inquiry into the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, Laura Dodsworth explores all these questions and more, in a nuanced and thought-provoking discussion of an extraordinary year in British life and politics. With stories from members of the general public who were impacted by fear, anxiety and isolation, and revealing interviews with psychologists, politicians, scientists, lawyers, Whitehall advisers and journalists, A State of Fear calls for a more hopeful, transparent and effective democracy.

A State of Fear

How the UK Government Weaponised Fear During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Starting a much needed conversation about the ethics and impacts of the behavioural psychology, manipulation and the strategy of fear that is so deeply embedded in government.

En 2020, nos convertimos en el enemigo… "Este libro trata del miedo. El miedo a un virus. El miedo a la muerte. El miedo al cambio; el miedo a lo desconocido. El miedo a que haya motivos ocultos, fines oscuros y conspiración. El miedo al imperio de la ley, la democracia, y el modo de vida liberal occidental. El miedo a la pérdida: a perder nuestros trabajos, nuestra cultura, nuestras conexiones, nuestra salud, nuestra cabeza. Pero también trata sobre cómo el gobierno convirtió nuestros miedos en un arma contra nosotros mismos –supuestamente porque era lo mejor para nosotros– hasta que nos convertimos en uno de los países más asustados del mundo."
