QUESTION: Ever tried convincing someone by arguing against your own point?
If so, that’s paradoxical persuasion. It’s like reverse psychology’s sophisticated cousin. By presenting the opposite argument, you make people defend your original point. It’s a mental judo move, using their own momentum against them. Next time you want someone to agree with you, try saying, “You’re right, maybe we shouldn’t get pizza.”
So, according to Dan Ariely PhD, watch as they passionately argue why pizza is, in fact, the best choice for dinner.
