How Do I Know When I'm Being Persuaded?

A 90-Minute Guided Pathway

You encounter persuasion constantly.

A headline catches your attention before you have examined it. A familiar idea appears again and again until it begins to feel true. Someone makes a compelling argument and you find yourself agreeing—only later wondering how you arrived there.

Not every influence is manipulation. Not every persuasion is dishonest. And changing your mind does not necessarily mean that you surrendered your judgment.

How Do I Know When I'm Being Persuaded? gives that question room to unfold.

This self-directed Guided Pathway explores what happens when something begins to move your judgment before you have consciously examined what is happening—and how you can remain open to influence without handing over your capacity to choose.

Inside the Pathway

• 3 canonical Living Archive essays
