Summary
Before you can influence decisions, you need to understand what drives them. In The Choice Factory, Richard Shotton sets out to help you learn.
By observing a typical day of decision-making, from trivial food choices to significant work-place moves, he investigates how our behavior is shaped by psychological shortcuts. With a clear focus on the marketing potential of knowing what makes us tick, Shotton has drawn on evidence from academia, real-life ad campaigns, and his own original research.
The Choice Factory is entertaining and highly accessible with 25 short chapters, each addressing a cognitive bias and outlining simple ways to apply it to your own marketing challenges. Supporting his discussion, Shotton adds insights from new interviews with some of the smartest thinkers in advertising, including Rory Sutherland, Lucy Jameson, and Mark Earls.
From priming to the pratfall effect, charm pricing to the curse of knowledge, the science of behavioral economics has never been easier to apply to marketing. The Choice Factory is the new advertising essential.

Perfect if you’re new to Behavioural Science!
This is a perfect book for anyone new to behavioural science. If you’ve read other behavioural science books from Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Rory Sutherland etc then a lot is already covered in those books.
Well structured and easy listening makes this a good book!

If you are to read only one book
The Choice Factory is both practical and deeply profound due to Richard Shotton's expertise from extensive research as well as from advertising. So, if you are to read only one book that will make you master of behavioural economics I would highly recommend - The Choice Factory

Too Good For An Audiobook
The 25 behavioural biases are an amazing insight into consumer behviour, taken from studies that the author has conducted, as well as other indepth analysis. Each chapter is concluded with practical ways for the reader to implement these ideas to their own business. If it's good enough for Seth Godin and Rory Sutherland, it's good enough for you. But there's so much data and reference points that, although brilliantly read and written, it's too much to note down withouth rewriting the book. So I will be buying a printed copy too.

Every sensible marketer should hear this
Every sensible marketer should hear this and hope that their rival marketers haven’t. Passionately packed with applicable insights, sensible analysis and healthy skepticism where necessary.

Concise & Precise!
Loved it. the book, unlike many, could be actually been much longer but the author thankfully made a killer job in making these "best practices" ultra practical. loved how how he specified "how to use this..." throughout the book!
