The Anatomy of Humbug - How to...

Paul Feldwick

How does advertising work? Does it have to attract conscious attention in order to transmit a 'Unique Selling Proposition'? Or does it insinuate emotional associations into the subconscious mind? Or is it just about being famous... or maybe something else? In Paul Feldwick's radical new view, all theories of how advertising works have their uses – and all are dangerous if they are taken too literally as the truth. The Anatomy of Humbug deftly and entertainingly picks apart the historical roots of our common – and often contradictory – beliefs about advertising, in order to create space for a more flexible, creative and effective approach to this fascinating and complex field of human communication. Drawing on insights ranging from the nineteenth-century showman P.T. Barnum to the twentieth-century communications theorist Paul Watzlawick, as well as influential admen such as Bernbach, Reeves and Ogilvy, Feldwick argues that the advertising industry will only be able to deal with increasingly rapid change in the media landscape if it both understands its past and is able to criticise its most entrenched habits of thought. The  Anatomy of Humbug is an accessible business book that will help advertising and marketing professionals create better campaigns.

Summary of Give and Take: Why...

Abbey Beathan

Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success by Adam M. Grant Book Summary Abbey Beathan
(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.)
Adam Grant shows us a new way to approach success, one that he thinks is the best one.
There are different types of people you are going to work with. Takers, matchers and givers. But according to Grant, the kind of worker you should be in order to achieve success is the giver, the one who focuses on helping without expecting anything in return. That statement is counterintuitive, most people would think that because givers are so easily exploited then it should be the worst approach. But actually, a low percentage of givers burn out. Most of them achieve extraordinary results.
(Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way)
"The more I help out, the more successful I become. But I measure success in what it has done for the people around me. That is the real accolade."—Adam M. Grant
It might be hard for you to believe that altruistic behaviour actually gets results but it does. Givers are respected, people are eager to collaborate with them and you actually learn a lot by helping people out. Grant provides evidence and captivating stories about people who obtained amazing results by being givers. Don't be a taker, work cooperatively! You'll feel good about it and also climb faster than any other person.
Praised by many best-selling authors, Give and Take is a gem for any person who desires to obtain the most successful attitude.

Introduction to Black Swan Theory

IntroBooks Team

From 9/11 to the Recession of 2007, these are events that have scared history and the United States of America. They were unprecedented by the people of those days, yet, we look back at those events and saw the impending signs of what was to happen. Nassim Nicholas Taleb accounted for these events and our perspectives today as the Black Swan Theory. Much like how what seemed to be the norm and logical answer to the question: “what’s the color of a swan?” and then baffled by the discovery of black swans in Western Australia, people did not see these events coming. In fact, they seemed to have deluded, biased, believed that there was no way a war can break out in a civilized world. That there will be no more events matching the Great Depression and that nuclear war is only a story in American fiction movies.
