SUMMARY:The Exchange: Free Your Mind - With Laura Dodsworth & Patrick Fagan
DESCRIPTION:An eye-opening look at the world of manipulation\, and what we can do to recognise and resist the daily attempts to control and influence our minds. “Manipulation is not new. But today’s combination of technology\, social media and AI\, combined with marketing and behavioural science\, is new in its sophistication and scale. Everyone wants to know their own mind. To do that\, you have to be able to understand and resist attempts to influence your mind.” – Laura Dodsworth and Patrick Fagan \nYou’re manipulated all day every day. We all are. Our social media feeds\, our governments\, our friends and family\, even the humble waiter who asks\, “Still or sparkling?” – they’re all conspiring to influence what we think\, feel and do. It’s turbocharged in the era of big data and AI\, and if you think you’re not being influenced\, you’re probably the most influenceable of all. \nFortunately\, bestselling author of A State of Fear Laura Dodsworth and former Cambridge Analytica behavioural scientist Patrick Fagan have joined forces to show you what’s up the magician’s sleeve. \nFree Your Mind is your field guide to navigating this information battlefield. Join Dodsworth and Fagan in a live discussion on powerful psychological principles like ‘nudging’\, cutting-edge science and anonymous insider access. They draw on interviews with mind-control experts ranging from monks to magicians\, to uncover their most deceptive techniques and expose the hidden tactics used to influence you\, from social media to subliminal messages. They also did the fieldwork so you don’t have to\, joining forums\, courses\, cults and digital detoxes. \nLaura Dodsworth\nLaura is an author\, journalist\, photographer and commentator. She is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller A State of Fear\, as well as a trilogy of books about the body. \nPatrick Fagan\nPatrick is a behavioural scientist with 12 years’ experience of mind manipulation. Previously lead psychologist at Cambridge Analytica\, he is now a part-time lecturer at Goldsmiths College\, University of London and University of the Arts\, and a guest lecturer at University College London\, as well as running several data consultancies. He is the author of Hooked: Why cute sells and other marketing magic we can’t resist. \n  \nTickets to the talk are available for £10.00\, a dinner is also available post talk for an additional £25.00 for three courses. \n  \nArrivals from 6:30pm \nEvent Commences: 6:45pm \nDinner: 8:40pm
