The Invisible Hand Behind Public Opinion
Imagine a world where someone could change what millions of people think without them ever realizing it was happening. This isn't science fiction-it's the reality Edward Bernays created nearly a century ago. As the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Bernays didn't just understand human psychology; he weaponized it. When Beech-Nut wanted to sell more bacon, he didn't create better advertisements. Instead, he convinced thousands of physicians to recommend hearty breakfasts as medically sound, fundamentally changing American eating habits. When women's bobbed hair threatened the hairnet industry, he orchestrated a comprehensive campaign engaging fashion influencers and workplace safety advocates to make long hair both fashionable and practical again. These weren't mere marketing stunts-they were sophisticated social interventions that reshaped cultural norms. What makes Bernays' work so fascinating-and troubling-is how it continues to shape our world today. His techniques are instinctively deployed by figures like Donald Trump and were reportedly Kanye West's favorite reading material. Unlike Dale Carnegie, who focused on individual success, Bernays aimed higher: to help organizations foment mass changes in habits, tastes, and beliefs. His legacy as the "father of public relations" offers a mirror to our own susceptibility to persuasion. How many of your deeply held beliefs might have been carefully planted there by someone following Bernays' playbook?
