Are you unknowingly being influenced?

The psychology behind persuasion and influence is as much an art as it is a branch of social psychology science.

Have you ever been in a situation where you told yourself that you would never in you lifetime by a particular useless widget? Then one day after a much needed spring cleaning you find that ugly looking, useless widget that you swore to yourself, your wife, all of your friends and the whole world that you would eat the dirt under your jogging shoes than to buy such a worthless garbage in the palm of your hands. But after spending the next 10 minutes analyzing how you end up with It, and instead of being dismayed or embarrass at yourself, you began to show admiration at the intelligence and subtleness of the angelic one that had enlighten you to the wonderful, untapped qualities of the 'gem' you currently hold delicately in your undeserving hands?

Of course you have... it's just that you don't know it... until now!

Congratulations and Welcome to the World of Persuasive Psychology!
