ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if who you are and where you stand determines what you believe is true?

In Episode 255 of Daily Persuasion, Joshua Lisec—New York Times bestselling author, literary ghostwriter of 100+ books, and certified hypnotist—takes on one of the world’s most volatile geopolitical flashpoints: Israel vs. Iran. But instead of rehashing headlines, Lisec reframes the entire conflict through the lens of persuasion psychology, cultural narrative, and the strange new reality where location is everything.

The title of this episode, “Israel vs. Iran from a Persuasion Perspective,” signals more than just commentary—it’s a forensic analysis of how worldviews are shaped not by facts, but by stories. And in today's world, non-fiction versus fiction is no longer about genre—it’s about how narratives are told, sold, and believed.

Lisec explores the quantum shift in public perception where fiction is written to seem real, and non-fiction is crafted like a novel. Whether you’re consuming a celebrity memoir, a war report, or a land acknowledgment at a state park, you’re likely being guided by the same persuasive techniques used in high-conversion sales copy or political propaganda.

As the Israel vs. Iran war narrative escalates globally—and bleeds into communities across the U.S.—Lisec urges viewers to think critically about how their own location, both geographically and psychologically, influences their stance. If you're a Persian in Orange County, your reality may feel worlds apart from an Israeli in Tel Aviv—or a middle American watching from Ohio. That’s not bias. That’s persuasion psychology at work.

Lisec shares real persuasion examples from history and media, showing how conflict is framed using language cues, identity politics, and fictive kinship. Phrases like “occupying regime” vs. “sovereign government” radically shift perception. He unpacks how persuasive techniques like narrative framing, repetition, and emotional identification are used to win support—whether it’s for foreign war, domestic policy, or selling a memoir.

Speaking of books, Lisec also offers a brief but piercing look into the publishing industry itself. With firsthand insight into the book publishing process, he illustrates how the lines between non-fiction and fiction blur further every day. The average celebrity memoir? Often ghostwritten to sound raw and true—even when it’s not. A “history” book with zero citations? Pure fiction, cloaked in nonfictional authority. This collapse in narrative clarity contributes to the same confusion that fuels geopolitical division.

In this episode of Daily Persuasion, you’ll learn:
• How location shapes worldview in the Israel vs. Iran conflict
• The real difference (and overlap) between non-fiction versus fiction
• How to identify and resist manipulative persuasion techniques in political discourse
• Why emotional resonance often trumps historical accuracy in modern media
• The role of books in constructing persuasive, culture-shaping narratives

This isn't about picking a side. It's about seeing the techniques of persuasion in writing—whether on a page, in a speech, or in the news. Joshua Lisec doesn't tell you what to think. He shows you how you're being taught what to think… and how to fight back with clarity and confidence.

So the next time a media narrative demands your loyalty or outrage, stop and ask: “Whose fiction am I believing?” Because whether it’s the Israel vs. Iran war, a bestselling celebrity memoir, or the latest policy from Washington, someone is always writing the script.
