You may have gone to a seminar and felt that you learned the one thing worth the ticket price.

This book takes the same stance.

It reveals some of the tricks (mind control?) that ad gurus are using today to get you to click the "Add To Cart" button.

If you have a brick-and-mortar business it shows you how to get customers in the door.

It did have some interesting information on the advertising industry that I had not encountered before.

However, it was the shocking sex website secret strategies that made a lasting impression on me.

I had always wondered with all of the free content on these sites why would anyone pay for access?

This book answers this question in disquieting detail.

And it also probes deeper into the reasons why we, as consumers, are almost helpless to make certain purchases.

It felt very enlightening as I looked at my credit card statements from the last few months!

Certainly worth the read.
