"Everyone has an opinion about gender differences, but Different Brains Different Approaches explains why. Creative director Huub van Osch combines scientific research with a dynamic and inviting book design to show how chromosomes, hormones and millions of years of evolution have wired men’s and women’s brains differently. The book clearly describes the brain’s neural circuits, sensory differences and the neurobiology of emotion while analyzing design and content specific to each sex. Using numerous visual examples and graphics, van Osch creates an entertaining and informative reference book to help creatives and marketers increase the effectiveness of their messages."

“This book shows the importance of neuromarketing focused on gender, an issue that is as sensitive as necessary for marketing and communication departments. Too often we use gender communication in our communication plans as a guide to segmentation, without realizing what exactly the impact is of that.”
