The Hidden Persuaders

Book • 1957
Originally published in 1957, 'The Hidden Persuaders' is a classic examination of how advertisers use motivation research, a psychological technique, to tap into consumers' unconscious desires.

The book analyzes products, political campaigns, and television programs of the 1950s to reveal the insidious manipulation practices that dominate the corporate-driven world.

It has sold over one million copies and significantly changed the public's perception of advertising.
