Don't Think of an Elephant by George Lakoff

Don't Think of an Elephant by George Lakoff

Donít Think of an Elephant! is the definitive handbook for understanding what happened in the 2004 US election and communicating effectively about key issues facing America today. Author George Lakoff has become a key advisor to the Democratic party, helping them develop their message and frame the political debate. In this book Lakoff explains how conservatives think, and how to counter their arguments. His years of research and work with environmental and political leaders have been distilled into this essential guide, which shows progressives how to think in terms of values instead of programmes, and why people vote for their values and identities, often against their best interests. Donít Think of An Elephant! is the antidote to the last forty years of conservative strategizing and the right wingís stranglehold on political dialogue in the United States
