Paco Underhill is the founding president of Envirosell, the New York-based behavioral research and consultancy firm focused on commercial environments. His first book,
Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping was an internationally recognized bestseller and has been published in 27 languages.
Call of the Mall: The Geography of Shopping was released in 2004 and has been called a humorous walking tour of an American shopping mall. His columns and editorials have appeared in
The New York Times,
Money Magazine,
The Washington Post and
The Wall Street Journal, among others. Underhill is an expert on global consumer trends and is also the only foreigner to ever hold a position on the Board of Advisors at Hakuhodo—Japan's second largest advertising agency.
In his latest book,
WHAT WOMEN WANT, Underhill explains that the expanding cultural, social, and economic influence of women can be seen everywhere: in packaging, autos, appliances, and clothing; in places such as homes, hotels, offices, stores, restaurants, and leisure attractions; and in e-commerce, maid services, banks, and rental car agencies. Women are experiencing a fundamental shift in who and what they are, and these consequences affect everyone.
