What you’ll learn
How desire is manufactured
Discover how ads create problems you didn't have, then sell you the fix. You'll see the formula behind every "I need this" moment — and realize most of them were written for you, not by you.
Why prices lie to your brain
Learn the three pricing tricks that make you spend more — decoys, anchoring, and the .99 illusion. You'll never look at a "50% off" sticker the same way again.
The urgency machine
Understand why FOMO works even when you know it's fake, why losing feels worse than winning, and why countdown timers literally stop you from thinking. Spoiler: it's not a character flaw — it's biology.
Your digital shadow
Find out how every click, like, and scroll becomes a map for advertisers — and how they use your identity, not just your data, to sell you things. You'll finally understand why that ad feels like it's reading your mind.
