Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Alchemy: The Surprising Power of Ideas That Don't Make Sense, written and read by Rory Sutherland.

To be brilliant, you have to be irrational

Why is Red Bull so popular – even though everyone hates the taste? Why do countdown boards on platforms take away the pain of train delays? And why do we prefer stripy toothpaste?

We think we are rational creatures. Economics and business rely on the assumption that we make logical decisions based on evidence.

But we aren’t, and we don’t.

In many crucial areas of our lives, reason plays a vanishingly small part. Instead we are driven by unconscious desires, which is why placebos are so powerful. We are drawn to the beautiful, the extravagant and the absurd – from lavish wedding invitations to tiny bottles of the latest fragrance. So if you want to influence people’s choices you have to bypass reason. The best ideas don’t make rational sense: they make you feel more than they make you think.

Rory Sutherland is the Ogilvy advertising legend whose TED Talks have been viewed nearly 7 million times. In his first book he blends cutting-edge behavioural science, jaw-dropping stories and a touch of branding magic, on his mission to turn us all into idea alchemists.

Wonderfully applicable to everything in life, and funny as hell
Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant … wonderfully heretical, naughty and funny … Uncommon sense on stilts
Veins of wisdom regarding human functioning emerge regularly and brilliantly from the pages. Don't miss this book.
Brings together complex theory with stories and plentiful humour to both captivate and entertain. It’s an important work for our era of apparent irrationality.
Both a book on human behavior and a rallying cry to stand up against the spreadsheet mafia dominating most government and corporate policies today
Stimulating and funny
[A] fun, quirky, hilarious page-turner…Sutherland is one of the all-time great raconteurs, polymaths, and ad men
Buy this book for the footnotes alone… As a committed devotee of rationalism, who thinks there is not enough of it in this world, I rationally ought to hate this book. Instead I loved it.
‘A must read for anyone who is in the people business’

Sutherland is always an engaging, entertaining public speaker. His insights are valuable and thought provoking. But...

The book is too long because it's repetitive (it feels a little padded, perhaps trying to justify it's gold packaging and price). The text - printed and audio - would have benefited from an editor.

Half the length would have been twice as good.

Press pause, not repeat

I really enjoyed this book. Really easy listening, felt like the narrator was talking to me rather than reading a book. Very interesting angle on marketing and how people think. Lots to take away. When you demand logic you destroy magic!

Really easy listening

There are no words that i can possibly say that could do Rory justice. There is so much gold in this book and a lifetime to try to mine it .....

Rory Sutherland is both genius and humorous. I'm going to have to listen to it again.
Thank you Mr Sutherland for allowing a peak into your creative mind.

One of the best audio books I've listened to.
