Recommendation

To understand the art of persuasion, you can turn to cognitive science for guidance in dealing with the unconscious β€œlizard” mind. Advertising strategist James C. Crimmins investigates the cognitive science behind motivation to show you how to persuade others more effectively. The β€œautomatic” part of the human mind – the lizard brain – affects many decisions. To persuade the lizard to cooperate, learn its language. To be persuasive, help it fulfill its desires. Crimmins explains how to unearth the lizard’s drives and change its expectations so they match the consumer’s experience of your message. Note that the way you convey a message may matter more than the message itself. getAbstract recommends this fascinating overview to marketing professionals and anyone seeking insight into how people think and what motivates them to act.

The nonconscious or β€œautomatic” part of the mind affects many decisions. Experts refer to this aspect of the brain as the β€œlizard inside.” The conscious mind has limited processing capabilities. The lizard – β€œautomatic, nonconscious mental system” – has almost limitless capabilities. Your unconscious lizard mind could have 25,000 times more capacity than your reflective, conscious mental system.

You use the conscious part of your brain for activities that evolution didn’t prepare you to carry out, such as β€œdieting, calculus and science.” The lizard does what evolution primed it to do in order to keep you alive, such as ensuring blood...

    I found the summary practical in concept and agree with the premise of changing behaviors verses changing the way someone thinks.
