Effective advertising experts use this to nudge us, making the most of our natural behaviour. In order to process the millions of decisions we make each day, our brains take shortcuts. We are fooled by drugs that don't contain active ingredients, traffic light buttons that aren't connected, and the obsolete 'save' feature in MS Word - these are all examples of placebos that can be surprisingly reassuring.\u003cbr\u003eThere are countless things that affect our behaviour: reward and punishment, beauty and attraction, and the human tendency to follow the crowd. This book offers an accessible, fun and practical introduction to behavioural science and features insightful examples from the laboratory, advertising, and marketing - as well as from daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Tim+den+Heijer\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eTim den Heijer\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Eva+van+den+Broek\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eEva van den Broek\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tim den Heijer,Eva van den Broek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47380849361059,"sku":"9781835012086","price":430.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781835012086_fdffdfb8-2572-469f-b223-9b82c5fa03af.jpg?v=1776599170","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781835012086","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
