review 1: Having nothing better to do, I got a hold of this marketing book. Pretty good. I highly recommend it for people interested in branding. Interesting marketing studies and good instincts on why they say what they do. Which translates into why we consume what we consume. The old truth still holds that women make most purchasing decisions. I'm relieved to see that Dunkin Donuts is more likely to outlive Starbucks than the other way around simply because they get the American ethic of coffee. Interesting chapter on religion and why Americans look hyper religious to the rest of the world.

... moreve research for support. Oh, I sure wish people would listen to Luntz more (businesses, parents, children, teens, politicians, etc). I especially love his findings surrounding religious people, which turns out to be a damning rebuke to mainstream attempts to remove religion from as many areas as possible. Good stuff!I thoroughly recommend this book/audiobook!! less
