You will learn: ¿ How psychological distance consistently affects the choices we make ¿ Why "Me-Here-Now" decision-making is such a powerful force ¿ What happens at confidence peaks that leads to our downfall ¿ The five ways we respond to extreme vulnerability ¿ When consumers' feelings of certainty and control - not price - drive demand The Confidence Map is a book that explains why we act in certain ways, when it's appropriate to follow our gut feelings, and how to make sense of a sometimes confusing environment.
