Joseph H. Boyett
Won’t Get Fooled Again arms voters with the insight to pick good leaders, outwit
bad leaders and detect the evil ones before they can cause serious problems.
Drawing upon five years of research into the social psychology of political
persuasion, Dr. Boyett systematically dissects the relationship we have with our
political leaders, strips away the veil of magic and mystery shrouding the art of
politics, and lays bare the tricks and techniques cynical political operatives use to
convince us to support their candidates. Dr. Boyett teaches readers how to
protect themselves from incompetent presidents, unsavory politicians and bad
leaders in general. He gives readers the skills, tools, and techniques for
demanding that politicians put voter concerns and the country’s needs ahead of
politics.
