Theory of suggestion

The Theory of Suggestion explains how our thoughts, feelings, and actions can be influenced by subtle cues or ideas presented to us, often without conscious awareness. It suggests that our mind can accept and act upon these suggestions, shaping our perceptions and behavior. This is the basis for phenomena like hypnosis, advertising, and peer influence, where external ideas can subtly steer us in certain directions. Essentially, our mind is receptive to suggestions, which can alter our attitudes or decisions, highlighting the powerful role of subconscious cues in human psychology.
