Rory Sutherland, the advertising executive, gives a TED talk arguing that perception shapes the value of things as much as their material properties. He uses examples from marketing and everyday life to show how reframing changes how people respond.

HN people link it as a short introduction to Sutherland's ideas on perception and psychology in advertising.
