Books
Alchemy: The surprising power of ideas that don’t make sense
This book is written Rory Sutherland, the Ogilvy advertising legend who’s TED Talks have been viewed nearly 7 million times. In this book, he explores how many of the world’s most popular products and services are rather illogical. Rory combines cutting edge behavioural science, jaw-dropping stories and a touch of branding magic on a mission to turn readers into idea alchemists.
The big problems we face every day, whether as an individual or in society, could very well be solved by letting go of logic and embracing the irrational.
