None of us would like to believe we are this vulnerable to the world around us. We tend to go through our lives firmly believing that our minds are somewhat of a fortress; the only things that get in there are things we allow. This belief is called the ‘fortress illusion‘, and not only is it incorrect, it’s dangerous to believe.

Imagine going to sleep with a rock-solid belief that your doors have all been locked tight. You’ll sleep more soundly, but if you’re missing an exterior wall of the house, the house isn’t secure. The fortress illusion actually makes us an easier target for persuasion and authority; making us relax when we might need to pay more attention to our surroundings.

In AUTHORITY MASTERY, we are going to perform an autopsy on some research into obedience; digging through the psychological factors and investigating what’s happening in the mind when a person is under the spell of authority.

Second, we will discuss the factors that trigger that automatic obedience, and how you can trigger that response in others.

In AUTHORITY MASTERY, I want to illustrate exactly how authority triggers automatic obedience and expose the secrets behind it. We are going to conduct several investigations and dissect the causes, reasons and dark sides of automatic human behavior. With this, I’ll distill the exact methods to access these behavioral loopholes.

Why and how can a person hijack a human brain’s normally rational decision-making centers?
