RE: Emotions Often Win Over Reason, Feeling-Good Can Matter More than Facts

in #philosophy7 years ago

Feeling good all the time diminishes the effects of feeling good.

That aside, every salesman worth his salt already knows this. They basically say it among themselves, they don't sell products, they sell emotions.

Sort:  

Just look at todays car advertisements.
The only fact they state is the price, the rest is all beautiful landscape (for most cars) or grinning, happy people.

It's true, and it is true for many things. No matter how trashy or bad the product is, it is always sold in a way that shows how amazing your life would be with it.

Especially terrible when children see it and basically grow up with these kind of lies.

Ha, yeah, that's how to best sell ideas or products and get people to buy into them. That's why New Age and "spiritual" stuff is so attractive.

On the other hand, it is probably also why people like to cling to shitty jobs and lifestyles so much.
