    Great Find

    This fascinating book by Dr. A.K. Pradeep has definitely changed the way I view ads and the marketplace. Everywhere I go now I analyze the packages, advertisements, and commercials and am shocked by how many companies get it wrong!

    Dr. Pradeep's insights made a lot of sense even to someone not particularly scientifically gifted. He starts by talking about what the brain likes or doesn't like and the evolutionary and neuroscientific evidence behind it. He then applies this information into easy to follow frameworks on everything from packaging, to in-store design, to price points. One point that I thought was especially interesting is that the failure of a new product is often not due to the actual concept but rather the execution of it. I had never thought of it like that before. I feel that Dr. Pradeep's insights in this book can be applied to any project. Even though I am not a product developer, I can definitely use his insights to improve my power point presentations and make them more neurologically pleasing and attention grabbing. The only thing that I would say is that I wish there could have been more specific case studies on companies that have used neuromarketing. I know that in the interest of confidentiality, Pradeep probably couldn't disclose names but it would have been neat to read more like the California Olive Ranch example. Other than that this was a great find!

    Specific neuromarketing insights

    A. K. Pradeep has written a wonderful piece of work. This book clearly explains the new field of neuromarketing and how it can apply to your business, giving great insights and recommendations that anyone can adopt to further their company without needing a neuroscience degree.

    I particularly enjoyed the section on the "Mommy Brain" because it certainly sheds light on the strange buying habits of my wife soon after our first child. She would come home furious some days if the store she went to was out of our favorite brand of diapers. Who knew that this wrath was a biologically wired maternal response? I wish that Pradeep had covered the male brain specifically as well, however.

    If you've ever wondered about how we make decisions in the marketplace and how the brain is the ultimate controller of our purchasing actions, this book is a must-read. The same goes for anyone interested in selling a product - the brain must first be understood in order to appeal to it.
