Assalamu Alaikum😊, ' If you don't follow your own map, someone else will direct your journey for you' -extracts from the book This was an odd read. At times it read more like a political manifesto than like a book about behavioural psychology. Wonderful book, I will no longer be controlled and nudged into conformity. I refuse to drive on the left from now on I choose the middle path through the traffic. My first journey will be to cemetery where I will tell Uncle Ahmed to get up and move his lazy arse, covid is just a cold, and avoiding infection is just mind control. The next time I see a man transitioning into a woman, but not quite pulling it off I will stand in the street point and shout as it says in the book “ the emperor has no clothes on” and everyone will see the light and agree with me. It is more frequent that we fall into the trap of deciding on something without thinking whether we actually are in need. Now that influencers are the biggest manipulators, we need to be immune to our minds without wavering thoughts. Nowadays people know how to inject thoughts into people's minds to make them fall for it. The book explains a lot of phenomena that might seem new but actually, something we are experiencing.

Dodsworth and Fagan examine the numerous strategies used by manipulators, including huge tech corporations, politicians, and advertisements. They feature conversations with professionals in mind control, such as monks and magicians, illuminating their dishonest methods.
