Marcey Rader Why Marcey loves this book

What makes a good fiction book? For me, it’s staying up way too late in bed because I have to know what happens in the next chapter. We Were Liars was that book.

A wealthy family, a private island, and one summer nobody will talk about. That’s all you get from me. Anything more is a spoiler, and in this book the spoiler matters.

Read it if: you want a story you’ll finish faster than you planned, and you’re fine being tired at work the next day.

I have 29 pages of Kindle highlights from Inner Propaganda, and I still pull them up to reread something Owen Fitzpatrick said.

Here’s how I know a book makes my top three: I can’t wait for my husband to get home from work so I can tell him what I just learned. This was one.

Fitzpatrick walks through the biases we all carry and the different kinds of truth: objective, shared, emotional, and desired. That framework explained a lot for me. I finally understood why people double down when they learn they’re wrong, and how groupthink walks smart people into situations that are dangerous and inexplicable.

Read it if: you want to understand the human mind, how you talk to yourself, and how you build the opinions and beliefs you’d defend to the end.

What is this book about?

Right now, your brain is selling you a story about who you are, what's true, and what you should believe. And you're buying it, even when it sabotages your success.

After decades studying external propaganda, from witnessing first-hand modern influence operations in North Korea, Afghanistan, and Washington D.C., to analysing the incredible double agent who helped change the outcome of World War II, Fitzpatrick reached a startling conclusion: The same tactics that sway nations also operate inside each of us.
