		<description><![CDATA[So first you claim to debunk all of the ideas in the book despite not having read it, then you posit some ideas without realising that these are actually supported by the book. Now you claim that the &#039;business practices of neuromarketing are deeply dishonest&#039; yet your entity/enterprise name is &#039;brain molecule marketing&#039; - too funny!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is just a simple lie that anything about current brain research can be applied to clinical medical work yet, let alone other practical applications, let alone business, let alone marketing.

This book and the business practices of neuromarketing are deeply dishonest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abusive ad hominem personal attacks are irrelevant.

No, these theories and ideas are both unproven, unpracticed and mainly untestable.  They skim the surface of brain research and most brain
research now is just wrong - as any new science will be.  Any attempt to then apply neuroscience in practical ways to clinical setting under medical supervision, let alone business, let alone marketing is just false and a misleading sales scam.

We have interacted wit the author in extended Linked In discussions and the ideas are easily debunked.

For example, the evidence is strong, over ten years, and increasing that there is no such thing as &quot;free will&quot;, decision making, cognitive control of behavior and that emotions happen after the brain directs behavior so are not causal but merely correlated.

Basically, subjective experience is pretty meaningless.  Simple logic tells us that if conscious decision making and emotions were important to behavior -- we would find it in other animals, of course.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What an ignorant and arrogant comment. If you read the bibliography in this book you&#039;d realise that these are not &#039;theories...cobbled together from media headlines&#039;, they are well-founded in empirical research. Moreover, the group the author works with collaborates at the highest level with some of the world&#039;s leading neuroscientific institutions including Caltech. I think they might know a tad more than &#039;brain molecule marketing&#039; whoever they are.]]></description>
