Martin Lindstrom, a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, harnesses the power of "small data" in his quest to discover the next big thing. Hired by the world's leading brands to find out what makes their customers tick, Martin Lindstrom spends 300 nights a year in strangers' homes, carefully observing every detail in order to uncover their hidden desires and, ultimately, the clues to a multimillion-dollar product. Lindstrom connects the dots in this globetrotting narrative that will enthrall enterprising marketers as well as anyone with a curiosity about the endless variations of human behavior.

the title and marketing is a little missleading, i came from big data books looking to find how to understand small changes, this is simply a story of how small things explain big things.

I was blown away by this reading. I found it by accident and I am singled that I did. I enjoyed it thoroughly from beginning to end. The performer/ narrator was one of the best I've ever heard on Audible and I listen to a lot of audio books. Looking forward to listening again in a few months to see what I missed.

Incredible insight and top notch performer

Great talent and easy to follow. There are, however, portions that are still culturally relative perspectives. For instance, as a former city-design reviewer, I would attribute circles in our modern American architectural designs [Lowes Foods segment] to the influence of our Native America and African heritage--even North African/Moorish influence by way of the Jesuit priests, who settled on both the east and west coasts. Yes we are a eurocentric culture, but many of the author's conclusions for why things are as they are in the U.S., were interpreted solely through standard European thought processes as a starting AND ending point. Culturally, we have been influenced by many here...and not to exclude the circles of other forgotten Europeans--the Pennsylvania Dutch...

Overall, Informative

It's not data like quants, BI, statistics, etc, but the book does have interesting personal observations.
