Propaganda

De: Edward Bernays

Narrado por: Jeffrey Ito

"Propaganda" by Edward Bernays is a groundbreaking exploration of the power of influence and persuasion in shaping public opinion and behavior. Originally published in 1928, this seminal work unveils the techniques used by governments, corporations, and institutions to guide public thought, cementing Bernays' reputation as the "father of public relations." With startling insights, Bernays explains how propaganda, when used responsibly, can educate and unify societies—but when misused, can manipulate and mislead.

Recording is robot like

I really could not focus on the narrative when the voice of the narrator is so robotic like. his tone is so monotone and there's no inflection on a natural sentence the way it should flow. it was really hard to concentrate.

Word Salad

Sorry I tried but this was written like a high school kid trying to meet a word quota for an essay.
The narrator does not do it any favors either.
No real dive in to what propaganda is or why it works.
I knew I was in for a car crash when I hear "so and so dictionary defines propaganda as..."
Still pushed through for another hour and nothing of any use was said.
It is unfortunate that it is too late for a refund.
DO NOT SPEND CREDITS ON THIS.
If you are trying to study the psychology of Propaganda and its use, you are better off someplace else.

Horrible voice over

Nothing. Couldn’t finish. Subject is usually important and interesting but the voice - human or machine is absolutely horrible. Unable to get past first 15 or 20 min. I’d like a refund please.

Eye-Opening and Still Relevant Today!

Wow—this book really makes you think! Propaganda breaks down how public opinion is shaped, and it’s honestly kind of wild to see how much of what Bernays wrote back in 1928 still applies today. From politics to advertising, he explains how messages are carefully crafted to influence what we believe. It’s not just history—it’s a behind-the-scenes look at the world we live in now. A must-read if you’re curious about media, persuasion, or just want to be more aware of how information is presented to us every day!
