Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die Chip Heath and Dan Heath, Random House, forthcoming, January 16, 2007
Why do some ideas change lives and minds, while others go in one ear and out the other?
Admirable ideas sometimes have a hard time succeeding in the world—a great book, a worthy public health initiative, a high school history lesson. Meanwhile, many shady ideas—urban legends, product slogans, rumors—often succeed with no trouble at all. Why? Why do some ideas work while others don't?
Made to Stick discusses the principles that link sticky ideas of all kinds, from the "kidney thieves" urban legend to JFK's "Man on the Moon" speech to the fundraising strategy of The Nature Conservancy. This a book written for anyone who strives to craft messages that are memorable and lasting: nonprofit leaders, businesspeople, journalists, ministers, and teachers. It's a book for anyone who needs to share an important idea--and make it stick.
Chip Heath is a Professor of Organizational Behavior in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. He lives in Los Gatos, California. Dan Heath is a Director at Duke Corporate Education. A former research fellow at Harvard Business School, he is a co-founder of Thinkwell, an innovative new-media text book company. He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina.
