Definitely helpful for understanding consumers

If youre into marketing, this is probably a good book to check out. I learned a lot about psychology and why people do the things they do when making purchases or decisions. What really stood out to me is how to focus on groups of people and connect better. Many people make decisions based on those around them or their tribe. Social norms and culture actually play pretty big roles in decision making. The information is actually pretty fascinating.
