Book Description
Public relations as described in this volume is, among other things, society’s solution to problems of maladjustment that plague an overcomplex world. All of us, individuals or organizations, depend for survival and growth on adjustment to our publics. Publicist Edward L. Bernays offers here the kind of advice individuals and a variety of organizations sought from him on a professional basis during more than four decades. With such knowledge, every intelligent person can carry on his or her activities more effectively. This book provides know-why as well know-how. Bernays explains the underlying philosophy of public relations and the PR methods and practices to be applied in specific cases.

Book Description
The father of public relations looks back on a landmark life spent shaping trends, preferences, and general opinion A twentieth-century marketing visionary, Edward L. Bernays brilliantly combined mastery of the social sciences with a keen understanding of human psychology to become one of his generation’s most influential social architects. In Biography of an Idea, Bernays traces the formative moments of his career, from his time in the Woodrow Wilson administration as one of the nation’s key wartime propagandists to his consultancy for such corporate giants as Procter & Gamble, General Electric, and Dodge Motors. While working with the American Tobacco Company, Bernays launched his now-infamous Lucky Strike campaign, which effectively ended the long-standing taboo against women smoking in public. With his vast knowledge of the psychology of the masses, Bernays was in great demand, advising high-profile officials and counseling the tastemakers of his generation. His masterful and at times manipulative techniques had longstanding influences on social and political beliefs as well as on cultural trends. Biography of an Idea is a fascinating look at the birth of public relations—an industry that continues to hold sway over American society.

Book Description
Edward Bernays was a member of this massive Jesuit machine. His uncle, Sigmund Freud, was a master Jesuit manipulator who influenced Bernays in countless ways. Freud was thought to have brought out and fully developed the narcissist in Bernays, who was known to all as a "braggart." After the success of his first book, Crystallizing Public Opinion, in 1923, Bernays furthered his research on manipulating members of our herd society. The work culminated in his second book, Propaganda. Like other Jesuit machinations, this book blatantly shoved this resurrected term propaganda right in the faces of all Americans. It taunted people with the knowledge of how innocent people are cleverly coaxed into following the order du jour, almost always without the "patient" being aware they were being led around by a nose ring. Bernays was a brilliant manipulator who taught his techniques to hundreds of force-multipliers who, in turn, unleashed the insidious practices on the world. This current volume has been revamped in a number of ways: lightly edited for clarity, subheadings added to improve readability, paragraphs broken up into more managable reads, newly designed interior and cover. Our current volume is a remake of Bernays' original book. Our version does not include commentary on Bernays' thoughts or ideas, nor is it meant to. We have preserved this man's brilliant, if not twisted, thoughts on how to manage an entire population of subservient people, using a few provocative words and phrases that crawl under the skin of our easily programmed minds. Our hope is that this updated version of a masterpiece will be read, studied and shared by a new generation of students and casual readers. Please form your own thoughts, opinions, beliefs and hypotheses. Beyond this, our wish for you is that you use this new-found information to do some good in this world. Bernays thrust this material into our faces nearly a hundred years ago and flaunted his jesuitical power over our subconscious mind. It is now our duty and responsibility to understand his methods so we may protest, if not counter entirely, any attempt to control our beautiful minds. Knowledge isn't just power. Applied correctly, it all but guarantees victory in any arena.
