In the post 9/11 world, people are more susceptible than
ever to charismatic figures who offer simple, black v.
white, us v. them, good v. evil, formulaic solutions. The
rise of the Internet; increasingly sophisticated knowledge
about how to influence and manipulate others; and the
growing vulnerabilities of people across the planet—make for
a dangerous, potentially devastating combination. Steven
Hassan’s new book Freedom of Mind provides the knowledge and
awareness needed to help yourself and loved ones avoid or
escape from such dangerous people and situations. This must-read volume is a significantly updated and revised
edition of Hassan’s groundbreaking Releasing the Bonds
(2000). People who read and benefitted from that book—and
also his earlier book, Combatting Cult Mind Control
(1989)—will want to read Hassan’s latest. It provides an
up-to-the-minute guide to the reality of ‘undue
influence’—the preferred term for mind control—in the post
9/11 era. Unstable Global Environment Enhances Dangers of Unethical
Control The world has changed greatly in the last decade. The rise
of the Internet, the emergence of global terrorism and of
dangerous totalistic ideologies, and the shifts in global
markets—these and other changes have created new
opportunities for unscrupulous individuals, groups, and
institutions to exert unethical control over others. Freedom
of Mind exposes the techniques and methods that individuals,
cults, and institutions of all types—religious, business,
therapeutic, educational, governmental—use to undo a
person’s capacity to think and act independently. Individuals More Vulnerable than Ever The Internet is now the primary vehicle for recruitment and
indoctrination. It is also a means for spreading
sophisticated information about social psychology, hypnosis,
and other techniques of social control, which are being
used—in ways both effective and dangerous—by ‘influence
professionals.’ Meanwhile, people are becoming increasingly
vulnerable. Sleep-deprived, overweight and looking to
improve themselves, overloaded with often frightening images
and information; anxious about the current economic decline,
climate change, and government corruption on all levels.
People are more susceptible than ever to charismatic figures
who offer simple, black v. white, us v. them, good v. evil,
formulaic solutions. These factors—the rise of the Internet;
increasingly sophisticated knowledge about how to influence
and manipulate others; and the growing vulnerabilities of
people across the planet—make for a dangerous, potentially
devastating combination. Freedom of Mind Provides Help for Yourself, a Loved One, or
a Friend Hassan’s new book, Freedom of Mind, aims to fill the gap. It
identifies and explains how to identify and evaluate
potentially dangerous groups and individuals. Hassan details
his groundbreaking approach, the ‘Strategic Interactive
Approach,’ which can be used to help a loved one leave such
a situation. Step-by-step, Hassan shows you how to: evaluate the
situation; interact with dual identities; develop
communication strategies using phone calls, letter writing
and visits; understand and utilize cult beliefs and tactics;
use reality-testing and other techniques to promote freedom
of mind. He emphasizes the value of meeting with trained
consultants to be effectively guided and coached and also to
plan and implement effective interventions. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is
knowledge and awareness.
