all of your behavior science classes is a $27 book

and its 100 times more fun to listen to than your professor. Adam is also more forthcoming about the ethics of psychology than the APA. Its a great book that should replace the materials your sociology introduction class uses tomorrow.

One of The Best Books on Advertising Ever

I wanted to write "'Nuff Said" but it made me write more words. These are those words. And here are more.

Thorough analysis

Great listen. It is a thorough analysis of advertising. Highly recommend it to anyone in the business of persuasion.
I also like the way the author ended the book with the ethical component of advertising.

A fantastic book for advertisers

One of the best advertising books I've ever read. A wonderful book with lots of insights on the art of advertising from a man who's walked the talk. I can't recommend this book enough for anyone interested in advertising and marketing.

MUST REED FOR ADVERTISERS

There are countless of insightful information in this book and I’m more than overwhelmed how much of an psychologist I am only by being within the advertising industry over 6 years. Also, Great storytelling and a heartwarming CTA in the very end ;)

Great listen for small business owners

Full of interesting case studies and things to think about when positioning your product/service to potential customers/clients.

Also, the narrator did a fine job presenting the story and words clearly. Top notch.
