I second the Century of the Self. Also, a book was published in 2002 on Bernays . I found it extraordinarily interesting. [1]

When Bernays was hired to get more books sold, he persuaded architects to design houses with bookshelves built into them. on the principle that "nature abhors a vacuum." A slick mofo indeed.
