414: Jonah Berger | How to Change Anyone's Mind - a podcast by Jordan Harbinger

Jonah Berger (@j1berger) is a professor at Wharton and a world-renowned expert on word of mouth, social influence, consumer behavior, and how products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. He's also a bestselling author; his latest book is The Catalyst: How to Change Anyone's Mind.

What We Discuss with Jonah Berger:

• Why providing someone with a "menu" of options is a far more effective method of persuasion than giving them a single option.

• How effective advertising overcomes our anti-persuasion radar and gets us invested in the idea of buying products.


• Why most anti-smoking campaigns have an effect opposite of their intentions, and how a Thai campaign cleverly adopted a tactic that actually worked.


• And much more...
