Patrick Fagan is a Sunday Times bestselling author, and public speaker, and consults for brands and political campaigns around the world.
I had the please of discussing with him, his latest book which he co-authored with journalist Laura Dodsworth titled: Free Your Mind: The New World of Manipulation and How to Resist It.

Some of the topics discussed includes:

How he came up with the idea of putting the book together
Why when it comes to freeing our mind, must we compare ourselves to soldiers on a battlefield
How effective have governmental nudge units been?
How being smart, or having a high level of intellect, doesn't immune you from being brainwashed or manipulated.
Do social media platforms keep us from being politically informed? and why must we practice social media distancing
The importance of reading
How changing our own information space, means we change our environment
Did Patrick's life change after writing the book?

The Book and Audiobook: Free Your Mind: The New World of Manipulation and How to Resist It is out now.
