About this product

Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The instant classic about why some ideas thrive, why others die, and how to make your ideas stick. "Anyone interested in influencing others--to buy, to vote, to learn, to diet, to give to charity or to start a revolution--can learn from this book."-- The Washington Post Mark Twain once observed, "A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on." His observation rings true: Urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus news stories circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas--entrepreneurs, teachers, politicians, and journalists--struggle to make them "stick." In Made to Stick , Chip and Dan Heath reveal the anatomy of ideas that stick and explain ways to make ideas stickier, such as applying the human scale principle, using the Velcro Theory of Memory, and creating curiosity gaps. Along the way, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds--from the infamous "kidney theft ring" hoax to a coach's lessons on sportsmanship to a vision for a new product at Sony--draw their power from the same six traits. Made to Stick will transform the way you communicate. It's a fast-paced tour of success stories (and failures): the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who drank a glass of bacteria to prove a point about stomach ulcers; the charities who make use of the Mother Teresa Effect; the elementary-school teacher whose simulation actually prevented racial prejudice. Provocative, eye-opening, and often surprisingly funny, Made to Stick shows us the vital principles of winning ideas--and tells us how we can apply these rules to making our own messages stick.

    Dated Case Studies, Timeless Advice

    I read this and was inspired to buy 10 copies to give to colleagues in my industry. Tons of real-world examples and applications to improve your sales and marketing focus. Take the dated case studies of Wendy's "Where's the Beef?" and Subway's Jared campaigns in stride to get to the authors' core message of memorable marketing through storytelling.

    Tips to make your stories and messaging sticky!

    I read this book years ago when it first came out on the recommendation of a college professor. Recently, the ideas of compelling story telling came up again at work and I needed to get my hands on a copy of this great book. Why do we remember certain things? Why is it that certain anecdotes, stories, company taglines, are so memorable? This book provides the answer to that question, as well as sound advice on how you can better craft messaging and stories to be memorable and stick with your audience. Highly recommend!

    A very sticky read! And that's a good thing!

    This book thoroughly enhanced a 2-hour training class I was conducting, leading to rave reviews. Dan and Chip have done excellent research, and they keep the writing, simple, concrete, and credible while throwing in some unexpected stories that demonstrate great emotional tie-in. The content is not only sticky, but the book has forced me to design new ways to convey ideas to others - and those ideas seem to be sticking! I really enjoy the sense of humour employed throughout the book. If you care at all about teaching or influencing others this is an absolute MUST READ.
