Unlimited Influence

NOTE

Influence as Empowerment, Not Manipulation

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), initially known as brainwashing, can effectively alter behaviors by gradually introducing compliance, showcasing the power of influence. Influence, when grounded in good intentions, is a force for positive change, helping individuals overcome issues like eating disorders or depression. Developing skills in influence enhances personal growth and empowerment, enabling individuals to improve their own lives and assist others.

Recognizing and overcoming these biases allows for authentic interactions that still maintain respect and empathy in relationships.
