Book - Mattias Desmet The Psychology of Totalitarianism

In this potentially life-changing book, you will learn that the pursuit of rational knowledge over the past few centuries has had a paradoxical effect: it has created an elite that mercilessly uses propaganda to maintain control over society.

On top of that, the rise of artificial intelligence is making it increasingly difficult to distinguish truth from lies.

The only cure for a society sickened by deception is a renewed appreciation for speaking the truth.

Sincere speech has specific psychological effects. It prompts people to reason, sharpens intuition, and increases ethical awareness. It heals humanity’s broken relationships with others, with one’s own body and sexuality, and with the nature surrounding us.

This book is about exactly that: the psychology of truth in a world dominated by rationalism and propaganda.

Join a journey of discovery that will set you free and allow you to experience healing, meaning, love, and inner peace in a challenging world.
