Unseen Influences launches Feb. 12, 2026.
There are hidden forces that shape your choices. Some work to your benefit -- like finding your way through hospital corridors. Others nudge you toward buying products or adopting ideas that may not have occurred to you before.
Unseen Influences helps you identify those efforts and make choices that are right for you. You'll learn how to find the right hospital room and why your hotel thermostat lies to you about how low you can set the temperature. We'll also tell you how to bypass that.
From product packaging to starting a new job, people want you to think the way they do. Our job is help you see what strings are bring pulled.
