3 Sep 2019 – It was just a year ago that I published Political Mind Games: How the 1% Manipulate Our Understanding of What’s Happening, What’s Right, and What’s Possible. It’s been gratifying to see how the book’s ideas have struck a chord. I’ve really appreciated the encouragement and enthusiasm that many people have taken the time to share with me.
Now, as we enter the 2020 election cycle, I’m eager to bring the progressive message of Political Mind Games to a broader audience. In the months ahead, we’re sure to be bombarded with manipulative psychological appeals designed to advance the interests of the super-rich and powerful—at the expense of the common good.
It will be crucial to recognize and counter these “mind games” and I’ve created a free PDF version of my book to help do just that.

If you prefer, e-book and paperback versions are also still available through IndieBound, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, other online outlets, and neighborhood bookstores. Thank you!
From the Book’s Back Cover:
In Political Mind Games, psychologist Roy Eidelson explains how we can recognize—and counter—the manipulative appeals that the 1% use to advance their self-serving agenda. These individuals and groups, possessing extraordinary wealth and power, prey upon the rest of us by strategically targeting the most important concerns in our daily lives. Offering timely examples drawn from the realms of poverty wages, climate change, voter suppression, militarism, school reform, and more, Eidelson shows why understanding and debunking the 1%’s mind games is an urgent matter for anyone interested in building a more decent society.
