Must-Have: The Hidden Instincts Behind Everything We Buy

Why do we buy what we buy? Geoffrey Miller, author of The Mating Mind, looks at evolutionary psychology, genetics and consumer research to explain the hidden instincts behind our choices.

Why do we buy? What is it that governs our choice of car? How does advertising really work? And what can the story of Aladdin teach us about today’s world?
