"Alchemy" by Rory Sutherland: https://amzn.to/3JRVgJq
"The Brand Gap" by Marty Neumeier: https://amzn.to/44dx9gB

As we navigate through the world, we are constantly being influenced by subtle design tactics that most of us aren't even aware of. These branding tactics can be found everywhere - in the layout of your favorite store, the colors of a pop-up ad, or even the design of your favorite app. But it's not just about understanding these principles. It's about considering the ethics behind their use, questioning the motives, and equipping ourselves to recognize and resist manipulation.
