Roger Dooley, author of Brainfluence</p> <p>'Understanding 'why people do what they do' has puzzled mankind since the time of Socrates.

Douglas Van Praet, Author of Unconscious Branding: How Neuroscience Can Empower (and Inspire) Marketing</p> <p>'This is a must read for all marketers.

Paul Marsden, blogger Brand Genetics</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dr. David Forbes founded Forbes Consulting over 20 years ago as a strategic market research consultancy dedicated to creating business advantage through deep psychological consumer insights. Since that time, he has built Forbes Consulting into a major resource for scores of corporations in the CPG, Financial Services, and Pharmaceutical industries, both domestically and internationally (client list appended). <p/>His seminal publication on motivational theory has reshaped the dialogue on the topic, and the work of he and his team at the Forbes Consulting Group has revolutionized the way his clients think about their consumers, their products, and their marketing materials--leading them to create vastly more successful products and messages targeting these new consumers. <p/>David Forbes holds a PhD in clinical and cognitive psychology from Clark University, USA, and was a member of the faculties of Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry and the Harvard Laboratory of Human Development before beginning his career as a business consultant. He quickly developed a following of clients who understood the power of emotion in driving behavior, well before this became a topic of mainstream interest. <p/>Since that time, Dr. Forbes has received numerous awards and recognitions. His work on the MindSight(R) tool won him the Advertising Research Foundation's Great Mind Award in 2012. He was also awarded the Brand Innovator Award at the 2012 World Brand Congress. He was a finalist for the Disruptive Innovation Prize at the Insights Innovation Exchange 2014 Amsterdam.<br>
