Made to Stick

by Chip Heath and Dan Heath

Three key ideas

  1. A simple message gives people a central priority they can use to decide.
  2. Surprise can break a familiar pattern and make people pay attention.
  3. Random surprise may not help understanding; manipulative suspense can waste time if the answer disappoints.

The five 2-minute lessons

  1. 1.Find the core
  2. 2.Make people curious, usefully
  3. 3.Make the idea concrete
  4. 4.Make them believe and care
  5. 5.Let a story do the rehearsing
