Sinopsis

The controversial science that claims to have revolutionised economics.

For centuries, economics was dominated by the idea that we are rational individuals who optimise our own 'utility'. Then, in the 1970s, psychologists demonstrated that the reality is a lot messier. We don't really know what our utility is, and we care about people other than ourselves. We are susceptible to external nudges. And far from being perfectly rational we are prone to 'cognitive biases' with complex effects on decision-making, such as forgetting to prepare for retirement.

David Orrell explores the findings from psychology and neuroscience that are shaking up economics - and that are being exploited by policy-makers and marketers alike, to shape everything from how we shop for food, to how we tackle societal happiness or climate change. Finally, he asks: is behavioural economics a scientific revolution, or just a scientific form of marketing?

    “John Livesay creates a compelling connection between revenue, reviews, and influence and our ability to tell brand and personal stories.” —Tracy Leigh Hazzard, INC. columnist, brandcaster, product strategist   The old way of selling is to push a message or product. The new way of selling is to pull people in with a compelling story—one that is magnetic to clients.  Better Selling Through Storytelling helps people become master storytellers so they can truly love what they do and get off the self-esteem roller coaster of only feeling good if their numbers are up. John Livesay encourages readers to give up selling—and become storytellers instead! He teaches sales representatives and entrepreneurs alike how to become irresistible to their clients and what the best storytelling strategy is to get a yes. From learning how not to take rejection personally to overcoming the three faces of fear, readers learn to embrace disruption with new tools that prepare them for any unexpected waves that come their way and get the sale.  “If you want to reinvent how you sell, let John Livesay show you how . . . [He] holds nothing back and fills his pages with new ideas, tips, information, and steps to becoming your own Revenue Rockstar.” —Josh Linkner, New York Times–bestselling author of Big Little Breakthroughs  “Not your grandparent’s sales manual; it’s where the storytelling rubber and results hit the road. If you think it’s too soft for your ROI brain, you’re missing the whole story, which is why you need it.” —Dr. Mark Goulston, author of Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone

    Revolutions differ in their purposes and intentions. Some seek to take over and change the current political order while others like to seek changes in the economy and social lifestyle. 
    Rebellions do share some common features such as they are influencing, they last for some years and they bring about a change, usually causing some chaos. 
    Revolts and revolutions are usually driven by individuals or groups that dream of having a better society, are inspired by hope, and are passionate about achieving their goals. These mutineers endeavor to change or upheaval the old command and replace it with a new one while the old order attempts to uphold its power. The consequences are clash, skirmish, disturbance, and division, which usually lead to battles, war, violence, and loss of human life. 
    Every revolution is unique and happens because of various reasons. Although the end results may be joyful, none of them come with consequences that usually cause turmoil, deaths, diseases, and loss in finances. Some revolutions have earned a place in history, and people ought to take learning from them.
