Lindstrom is a columnist for Fast Company,[7] TIME magazine[8] and Harvard Business Review[9] and frequently contributes to NBC's Today show.[10]
Buyology
In Buyology – Truth and Lies About Why We Buy, Lindstrom analyzes what makes people buy in a world which is cluttered with messages like advertisements, slogans, jingle, and celebrity endorsements. Through a study of the human psyche, he discusses the subconscious mind and how it plays a major role in deciding what the buyer will buy. The author claims to have studied the behavior of 2,000 humans for three years.[11][12]
Small Data
Lindstrom spent time with 2,000 families in more than 77 countries to get clues to how they live.[13] In Small Data: The Tiny Clues that Uncover Huge Trends[14] Lindstrom discusses those trips, the process he uses to gather information, and the business decisions that information has led to.[15] In 2016, it was named a Best Business Book by strategy+business[16] and one of Inc. magazine's Best Sales and Marketing books.[17]
Ministry of Common Sense
In The Ministry of Common Sense, Lindstrom reflects how organizations and brands focus on internal politics and processes and do not pay much attention on the end-user. The book is published in 58 languages.[18]
