Barnum to Donald Trump, many have perfected the art of using language to influence people's beliefs and behaviors. Marcel Danesi explores how language tactics can sway opinions and shape perceptions of reality, especially in social media and emotionally charged settings. The book also examines why lies are often accepted as valid and discusses the implications of lying and language for the future of belief, ethics, and democracy.
