... much better treatments of kind of psychology Lindstrom is talking about here, minus his focus on "branding." Dan Ariely's Predictably Irrational comes to mind, and I would definitely recommend that over this. Rating: 2.5/5

Hi all, I'm new to the group and quietly adding my own little list to the bunch.
