Why the World's Most Successful Ideas Make No Logical Sense
A tiny, overpriced can filled with a beverage that tastes, according to focus groups, utterly terrible. This was Red Bull's market entry-a product that violated every commandment of rational business strategy. It should have died on arrival. Instead, it now sells over six billion cans annually and generates enough profit to bankroll a Formula 1 team. What happened? The answer lies not in logic but in understanding a fundamental truth about human nature: we are spectacularly, gloriously irrational creatures. And the moment we stop pretending otherwise, magic becomes possible. Consider your own life. You've probably paid more for a product simply because it came in nicer packaging. You've chosen a restaurant because it was crowded, assuming popularity signals quality. You've felt genuine relief from a medication before it could possibly enter your bloodstream. None of these behaviors make logical sense, yet all of them make perfect psychological sense. This gap between logic and psychology is where the most valuable insights hide-and where most organizations refuse to look.
