Publisher's summary

We wouldn’t dream of sending a soldier into battle without essential gear: body armor, a weapon, and knowledge of the enemy’s motives, strategies, and weaknesses. Yet, many parents today unknowingly send their children into the psychological battlefields of daily life— where they face a barrage of deceptions from academia, social media, politicians, peers, and beyond—without equipping them with the necessary defenses to survive and excel.

Worse still, while their children frequently become casualties in today’s mind wars, these parents remain oblivious to the very existence of these conflicts. For the parent eager to uphold truth in a world rife with deceptions, Mind Wars acts as both a cautionary guide and a strategic manual. It reveals the covert tactics wielded by those in power to manipulate public opinion and outlines methods for developing enhanced critical thinking skills to resist these insidious influences. This book is more than a mere story—it’s an insightful journey into the depths of the mind, challenging you to see and fight the invisible forces shaping our reality.

This is a fantastic quick read on propaganda.

If you are choosing between this and a classic like Bernays, Ciandini, or Lippman, I'd recommend this first.

On the one hand, I wouldn't say it is a perfect substitution for a more thorough treatment such as Lippmann's Public Opinion. But it does give you about 80% of the knowledge in 15% of the length.

On the other hand, even if you have read the classics, I consider this a necessary supplement, given how much the style of media matters (even Lippmann marveled at political science's ignorance of the effect of newspapers of his day).

Furthermore, Mind Wars reminds you of the non-stop onslaught of propaganda we’ve faced in the past decade or so. It is incredible how much I had forgotten.

Last, it leaves you with a way to keep yourself sane and make the world better.

And Connor Boyack narrates his own book!

Important read for teenagers and young adults!

This book should be a requirement for all teenagers and young adults. Especially those who were affected by the lockdowns and forced medical decisions. This book clearly explains the hidden wars going on in the world that use 5G warfare, or, like the title states, Mind Wars. It is great to hear the author, Connor Boyack, read because he can clearly show emphasis on the important points of the book. It’s an easy read and is never boring. The stories told are exciting and relevant.

Must-Read

This is written at a level that any teenager can follow. The info is incredibly important as censorship and propaganda has increased at breakneck speed in the past 4+ years. Too many of our loved ones sound brainwashed, voicing the speaking points of pundits. Maybe the truth in this book could set them free! Many of us haven't known just how far back our government's interference in media goes. I hate being lied to, and learning how long it's been going on could shake up a few people. Please, please, please read this and share it. Let's empower more people in our culture.
