Mark Twain once observed, "A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on." His observation rings true: urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus public-health scares circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas (business people, teachers, politicians, journalists, and others) struggle to make their ideas "stick". In this indispensable guide, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds draw their power from the same six traits.

Story
You’ve seen it all before. A malicious online rumor costs a company millions. A political sideshow derails the national news cycle and destroys a candidate. Some product or celebrity zooms from total obscurity to viral sensation. What you don’t know is that someone is responsible for all this. Usually, someone like me. I’m a media manipulator. In a world where blogs control and distort the news, my job is to control blogs - as much as any one person can.

Using case studies from his own, and others’ experience, Adam clearly illustrates what he believes to be key aspects of good advertising. Easy to listen to and understand, I enjoyed the audiobook. Probably would have absorbed it better as a book, not audio, though.

Good info if you get past the author's arrogance
The book cites many interesting studies and provides valuable insights on behavioral change, whether the change is sought through advertising or other means. However, I quickly tired of the author telling me how smart and creative he is and the number of awards he won. If you can get past his extreme arrogance, you will learn how you can influence others and how you yourself are influenced.

The worst book on advertising
The fact that this book got such good reviews excites me. It tells me 99% of people know nothing about advertising.
This book is a perfect example of how too much academic schooling does not belong in business.
As I listened I couldn't help hearing Claude Hopkins, when asked to review an academic program on advertising say, "this should be burned. A young man will spend 4 years learning this and another 12 unlearning it."
Or Roy H. Williams saying, "Many big advertisers care more about awards and creativity than results than make money."
I can tell this writer has never actually written an ad before. He may have helped create a campaign with his psychology knowledge, but never has actually written one.
I imagine him passing all his "statistics" to the copywriters as they roll their eyes and say huh huh.
Do you want to waste all your ad budget on irrelevant case studies that are so small they probably can't even be duplicatable?
Then read this book.
Audible doesn't have very many books on advertising, but I would start with the two authors I quoted above. Especially for anyone in the real world of advertising.

Will Make You Think
Advertising is kind of a lost art with small businesses. It's usually expensive so we focus on things that are easier to manage. Social media, having a functional website, sending out email blasts, etc. This book inspired me to step my game up and to tap into some the age old psychology behind advertising and incorporating it into my small business.

Gained greater respect for power of advertising
For most people that are familiar with advertising and the psychology of persuasion, this book will mostly be a review of what you already heard. The thing is, if you know these things, you will gain a better understanding by hearing stories and ideas from another point of view.
The author's purpose for this book is to educate the general public about the power of advertising and to help advertisers and marketers understand the power they have.
The last chapter was inspiring and made me think about how my marketing effects people. It's a good reminder to help me not pollute the world with uncreative interruptions.

Whilst none of the science referenced in this book from behavioural economics, psychology, sociology is unique or original, it is brilliantly bought together in one place here. Save yourself some time reading or listening to other books and get this one.
This book is for marketers, business/ entrepreneurial folk and charities. I think it is also essential for the general public to read this to become aware of how we are all nudged into behaving certain ways.
