Nachdem sich die moderne Hirnforschung in den letzten zwanzig Jahren rasant entwickelte, hat auch das Interesse an ihren Resultaten zugenommen. Was will der Mensch? Entscheidet er selbst? Oder ist er nur das Opfer chemischer und neuronaler Affekte? Das sind spannende Fragen, besonders für Werbung und Kommunikation. Wie nimmt der Mensch wahr? Und vor allem: Was nimmt er auf? Werner T. Fuchs beschäftigt sich seit Jahren mit der Umsetzung moderner Hirnforschung ins Marketing. Seine These - inzwischen von der Hirnforschung untermauert - lautet: Der Mensch lernt durch Geschichten. Wer diese Erkenntnis in die Praxis einfließen lässt, wird sein Gegenüber besser erreichen. Fuchs hat zwölf leicht zu verstehende, unterhaltsame "Werkzeuge" kreiert, die helfen, Kommunikation grundsätzlich neu zu verstehen und auf die Arbeitsweise des Gehirns abzustimmen.

Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas...
