O tej książce

"I'm not influenced by commercials. I see right through them. But my neighbors? They believe everything they hear." If you have ever thought this, you have fallen for the Third-Person Effect. This psychological phenomenon explains a massive paradox in our society: We believe mass media has a terrifying power over "the masses," while simultaneously believing we are immune to it. This illusion drives censorship (we must ban this to protect them), fuels polarization (how can they be so brainwashed?), and makes us vulnerable to manipulation because we lower our own guards. "The Third-Person Illusion" dissects how this bias shapes internet regulation, political discourse, and marketing. It challenges the reader to accept an uncomfortable truth: You are the masses. You are the target. And the advertising you think is "too stupid to work" is working on you precisely because you think you are too smart for it.
