Лучшие книги Киран Флэнаган

О книге Нами движут эгоизм, страх и лень – вот основные инстинкты, отвечающие за выживание вида. Дэн Грегори и Киран Флэнаган исследуют психологию, стоящую за этими моделями поведения, и объясняют, как они проявляются во всех типах контактов, включая коммерческие. Если строить бизнес или вступать в брак, рассчитывая на идеальные отношения, то можно остаться у разбитого корыта. Самые успешные стратегии строятся с учетом уязвимой человеческой природы. Апеллируя к инстинктам, можно создавать услуги и продукты, которым невозможно сопротивляться. Для этого придется расстаться с мифами об эффективности позитивного мышления и мотивации, потому что они противоречат эволюционной теории. Традиционно выживает тот, кто заботится о себе и своих, не лезет на рожон и не ест неизвестных растений. Зачем слушать • Получить от опытных маркетологов сведения, какие рекламные стимулы работают, а какие используются по традиции. • Узнать, как сделать процесс покупки товара или услуги неизбежным. • Заставить действовать себя и других, используя силу эгоизма и страха перед неизвестностью.

Appealing to humans' basic instincts to increase influence, buy-in and results
Survival of the species comes down to three basic instincts, say behavioural research strategists Dan Gregory and Kieran Flanagan—fear, self-interest and simplicity. These basic human behaviours come into play in all types of relationships, including those between businesses and customers. Selfish, Scared and Stupid: Stop fighting human nature and increase your performance, engagement and influence, demystifies these behaviours and examines the psychology behind why even the best ideas sometimes fail.

This book helps businesses design their organisations for reality rather than perfection, and also offers strategies to head off unprecedented levels of disengagement within, and outside, the business. It answers baffling questions around why the public sometimes fails to engage despite overwhelming data suggesting otherwise, why so many new products end up on clearance shelves and why so many great salespeople often fall short of their monthly targets.

Learn how the survival of the species plays into business, including delusionary realities and the reasons ideas can fail
Discover how to offer customers strategic rewards, thereby making the buying process more attractive to selfish natures
Examine the link between fear and the unknown, including strategies for quelling fears and turning them into action
Learn to use a simple mindset to create low-involvement products, helping appeal to instinct and making products hard to resist
This provocative book is built on the idea that businesses must return to a more human engagement methodology in order to succeed. It is an informative read for anyone interested in improving influence, growing business reach, improving sales figures or understanding the complexities of human behaviour.
