CONSENT: the Psychology of Persuasion: Influence is everywhere. Consent is power.

You’re being influenced—right now.
Not by loud sales pitches or aggressive tactics, but by small things: a favor you didn’t ask for, a review everyone else believes, a “last chance” message that feels urgent for no reason. Influence is no longer about convincing—it’s about conditioning. And unless you see it clearly, your “yes” may not be your own.
CONSENT: The Psychology of Persuasion is your guide to disarming hidden influence in everyday life. Drawing on timeless behavioral science—including the work of Robert Cialdini—this book reveals how principles like reciprocity, consistency, authority, scarcity, likability, and social proof are used not just to persuade, but to shape your behavior without you realizing it.
But this is not a book about becoming paranoid. It’s about becoming prepared.
You’ll learn practical tools for saying “no” without guilt, spotting manipulative patterns in marketing, relationships, and digital design, and using ethical persuasion on yourself and others—with clarity, not coercion.
Whether you're a professional, a parent, or simply a curious mind, CONSENT will teach you to pause before agreeing, reflect before complying, and influence with intention. Because in a world full of psychological shortcuts, the most powerful decision is the one you make consciously.
Don't just be aware of influence. Take back the right to choose it.
