Reverse psychology can provoke us to discover, own, and enact authentic solutions to many of our issues. The 114 original buttons were designed as stirring visual communications to enhance the provocative process—which is based on three core ideas: 1. People don’t like being told what to do. 2. Reverse Psychology, a technique known to most parents, also works brilliantly on adults. 3. Irony, satire, and parody—when used warmly and responsibly—can provoke the emergence of conscience and common sense.
