Five Senses of Marketing: Decoding the Human Mind Behind Every Sale

For decades, marketing relied on a simple transaction of attention for information, but modern consumer psychology proves that purchasing decisions are rarely made by the deliberate, calculating mind. THE FIVE SENSES OF MARKETING: Decoding the Human Mind Behind Every Sale by Biswajyoti Das provides a rigorous, research-backed roadmap for mastering the fast, intuitive, and largely unconscious sensory triggers that actually drive consumer behavior.

The Intersection of Ancient Wisdom and Modern Commerce Inspired by timeless philosophical insights on human perception, this book bridges the gap between biological sensory processing and contemporary business strategy. As product categories mature and physical retail is forced to compete with e-commerce, competitive differentiation now relies heavily on sensory engagement. Das leverages Daniel Kahneman's "System 1" thinking to reveal how sensory cues do the persuasive heavy lifting long before a shopper consciously evaluates a brand's price or positioning.
